I am wondering how ya'll deal with a kid on NCPAP. I am a GN an just started working in NICU a couple of weeks ago.
Are all kids on NCPAP so crabby? The little one I had yesterday was just miserable. I was trying my hardest to get him comfortable, keep his nose for breaking down anymore, and keep his pressures up. He wouldn't tolerate any other position than prone which just kept squishing his nose on the mask.
He was a 31 weeker who HATED to be touched. It just seemed like a struggle all day long to keep him comfortable and properly maintained.
