Author Spotlight: Enhancing Understanding and Treatment Strategies with the NEC-on-a-Chip Model
Published on: July 28, 2023
Abstract:
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in the NICU does not stay in the NICU. Infants are often discharged with little concern long term, yet that is not true. Meet Linseigh, a former NICU patient who was full-term at birth and was ultimately diagnosed with NEC. In this article, we talk to Linseigh about what it was like growing up with the residual effects of NEC and even how it affects her today. This is a must-read for every NICU nurse so that families can better understand the long-term effects and know what resources to turn to for assistance.
