Changing out isolettes

Specialties NICU

Published

Just wondering how often you all change out your isolettes, both with and without humidity? Also, wondering how you show when an isolette has been changed, do you tape a card to the isolette, use a piece of tape, or have some other way to show when an isolette has been changed? Thanks, I am working on revising our policy in our level 3 nicu and wanted some feedback. Thanks again!

My current unit changes them out every seven days when the infant requires humidity and every 30 days when they do not. My previous unit changed them out every seven days regardless of humidity.

Every month. Ew, I know. We have bright green stickers that say "I was placed in this bed on ______".
