In the first part of our interview series, we meet Linda Nilsson, an intensive care nurse at Skåne University Hospital in Lund. She emphasizes the critical importance of early detection and continuous monitoring in the acute phase of neonatal care, where even small changes in a newborn’s condition can signal serious complications.
We also hear from Veronica Hermansson, a specialist physiotherapist at the Pediatric Clinic at Södra Älvsborgs Hospital in Borås, who highlights the long-term challenges faced by preterm born babies. Their immature brains make them especially vulnerable to neurodevelopmental issues, requiring careful support beyond the neonatal period.
Together, their perspectives illustrate the complexity of neonatal care, from intensive care in the first hours of life to long-term developmental support, and the need for a comprehensive, lifelong approach for this vulnerable patient group.
