Abstract

With the advent in the early 1960s of neonatal intensive care technology for low birthweight, premature, and other biologically vulnerable and medically fragile infants, there has been an associated professional, parental, and general public interest in the health and developmental outcomes of the survivors of this highly specialized care. Concerns about the short- and long-term neurodevelopmental prognoses for graduates of neonatal intensive care have increased as the accepted medical intervention strategies—such as mechanical ventilation, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), parenteral nutrition, central nervous system shunting, and drainage procedures—have become continually more complex and more aggressively utilized.
