Advanced Equipment Enhances Newborn Care at Mat-Su Regional’s Family Birthing Center
Contributed by Deena Straub
To enhance Newborn care after delivery, Mat-Su Regional’s Family Birthing Center has upgraded their newborn warmers in all labor and delivery rooms as well as their well-baby nursery.
Technologies in the new warmers offer several benefits in neonatal care. They provide precise temperature control, integrated monitoring capabilities, a built-in scale and promote a quieter and more soothing environment for newborns, contributing to better outcomes.
“While our goal is to have every baby skin-to-skin after delivery, when interventions are necessary, we are thrilled to have these new resources to keep babies warm and safe. These warmers are much more efficient, allow our team more space to work, and more time focused on these precious babies,” said Adrian Stauffer, MSN, RN, Family Birthing Center Director at MSRMC.
