Neuroprotective Care Is Not One Intervention

A comprehensive approach that connects every interaction, and clinical decision to the developing brain.

A Framework for Neuroprotective Care

The Neuroprotective Care Program brings evidence-informed practices together into an integrated framework—connecting key elements of care including the environment, handling, positioning, physiologic stability, sleep, pain and stress, nutrition, skin-to-skin care, and family partnership to support the developing brain.

THE 11 DOMAINS

From the first moments after birth through discharge and developmental follow-up, the 11 domains provide a practical structure for integrating neuroprotective principles across the continuum of neonatal care.
