Abstract:
Traditional nursing care strategies may require modification to meet the unique needs of conjoined twins. Here we discuss the strategies found to be useful in planning for and responding to distinctive circumstances encountered throughout hospitalization, as well as lessons learned. Areas of focus include ensuring privacy, designing adequate unit accommodations to meet space and equipment needs, staffing considerations and adaptations to typical neonatal intensive care nursing interventions. The utility of a team-based approach to interdisciplinary care coordination is also discussed. With adequate preparation and thoughtful innovation, most tertiary neonatal intensive care units can readily adapt to the unique needs of conjoined twins.
