Abstract

In neonatal intensive care, the management of babies born prematurely requires particular vigilance from caregivers. Specific care procedures include enteral feeding and the development of the diet, the monitoring of vital signs, venous access management, blood withdrawal, phototherapy and obligatory screening. The nursing role is essential in this context.
