Monitoring neonates comes with several challenges:
1. Fragile Physiology: Neonates have a delicate and rapidly changing physiology, making it difficult to establish normal ranges for various parameters. 2. Small Size: The small size of infants can make it challenging to use certain monitoring devices, necessitating specialized equipment. 3. Movement Artifacts: Neonates often move, which can introduce artifacts and inaccuracies in monitoring readings. 4. Parental Anxiety: Continuous monitoring can cause anxiety among parents, requiring healthcare providers to offer reassurance and explanations.
