    Continuous physiological monitoring in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) did not significantly alter infant handling duration. Staff perceptions of handling frequency differed from observed data, suggesting care planning improvements are needed for very preterm infants.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatalogy
    • Infant Care
    • Clinical Monitoring

    Background:

    • Handling procedures in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) pose risks to very preterm infants.
    • Optimizing care practices is crucial for improving outcomes in vulnerable neonates.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate if continuous physiological trend data on cot-side monitors impacts infant handling duration in the NICU.
    • To compare observed handling times with NICU staff perceptions.

    Main Methods:

    • Infants were paired by gestational age and handling frequency/duration was assessed using video recording.
    • Continuous physiological monitoring data was analyzed in relation to handling events.
    • NICU staff perceptions of handling were compared with objective video observations.

    Main Results:

    • No consistent correlation was found between handling duration and continuous monitoring, gestational age, birth weight, or ventilatory status.
    • A significant discrepancy exists between NICU staff's perception of handling frequency and the actual observed handling times.
    • Study limitations include small sample size due to constraints of a larger study.

    Conclusions:

    • Continuous physiological monitoring alone may not reduce the duration of infant handling in the NICU.
    • There is a notable difference between perceived and actual handling rates among NICU staff.
    • Improvements in care planning are suggested to optimize handling practices for very preterm infants.
