A new Cerebral Function Monitor for the Policlinico Umberto I in Rome
The Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of Policlinico Umberto I treats newborns affected by severe perinatal conditions, including hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, a condition caused by oxygen deprivation at birth.
Every year, around 30 newborns require immediate neurological monitoring and timely intervention to prevent permanent brain damage.
The project supports the purchase of a Cerebral Function Monitor (CFM), an essential device used to:
- Assess neonatal brain activity in real time
- Guide the initiation of controlled therapeutic hypothermia, currently the only effective treatment to reduce neurological damage after perinatal asphyxia
- Ensure continuity and speed of care in life-threatening situations
This funding enabled the immediate procurement of the device, avoiding delays that could have compromised patient care.
Part of the contribution also supports the purchase of hygiene kits for newborn patients, responding to everyday care needs within the intensive care unit.
