Why Is Operator Dependence Significant in Neonatology?
Neonates are particularly vulnerable due to their underdeveloped organ systems and unique physiological needs. Procedures such as ultrasound imaging, intubation, and venous catheter placement require a high degree of precision. Variability in these procedures can lead to misdiagnosis, delays in treatment, or complications, making it crucial for operators to be highly skilled and experienced.
