Prematurity deprives infants of the prenatal sensory stimulation essential to their correct
development; in addition, the stressful environment of the NICU impacts negatively on their …

Prematurity is becoming a real public health issue as more and more children are being
born prematurely, alongside a higher prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders. Early …

In an era marked by increasing environmental challenges affecting human well‐being,
traditional acoustic materials struggle to effectively handle the diverse and multi‐frequency …

Low frequency noises are predominant in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Some
studies affirm that neonates can perceive noises from 113 Hz, and can therefore be affected …

Background Preterm birth and the subsequent necessary treatment in neonatal intensive
care units (NICU) subjects the preterm infant to non-physiological noise exposure with …

The architectural configuration of the space plays a crucial role in the acoustics of neonatal
intensive care units (NICUs). The design of the environment, the materials used in …

Hypothermia occurs frequently among clinically unstable neonates who are not suitable to
place in skin-to-skin care. This study aims to explore the existing evidence on the …

Definition Excessive noise pollution is often a problem for neonatal nurseries. Noise
pollution involves not only noise but also vibrations. The main difference between them is …
