Introduction
NICU is an acronym for neonatal intensive care unit.
Management
- avoid empiric vancomycin or carbapenem in NICU patients unless the infant is at risk for antibiotic resistance[3]
Notes
- NICUs encouraging more parental involvement in caregiving observe greater weight gain in very premature infants[1]
