Course Description:
MiniMuffs® Neonatal Noise Attenuators are designed specifically for premature babies to protect their sensitive ears and provide a safe environment for healthy development. MiniMuffs help meet American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines for safe noise levels in the NICU1 and Reduce sound levels by at least 7 decibels (dB)which results in a reduction of sound pressure level of more than 50%
Reduced noise levels are clinically demonstrated to positively impact infant state.2,3 By reducing noise levels, MiniMuffs noise attenuators result in potentially longer periods of sleep time, optimal oxygenation and improved physiological stability
This course is designed to instruct on the safe application on Minimuffs in the NICU environment, and will conclude with a Quiz.
