Despite the advanced technology, NICU monitoring comes with challenges. These include:
- False Alarms: Sensors can sometimes give false alarms due to movement or other non-pathological causes. - Invasive Procedures: Some monitoring techniques, such as arterial blood sampling, are invasive and can cause discomfort or complications. - Interpreting Data: The vast amount of data can be overwhelming, and distinguishing between clinically significant changes and normal variations requires expertise.
