NICU Guidebook

The NICU guidebook was developed by Neonatology faculty and support staff for use at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Arkansas Children’s Hospital and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, Arkansas.

What’s on the website?

  • Table of contents: The NICU Guidebook ToC lists the website’s different sections. It includes medication dosages, management guidelines of different neonatal pathologies, nutritional information and resources such as the ACH transport protocols, the BiliTool and the ACH/UAMS NICU attending schedule.

  • The site also includes contact information for our neonatal faculty and support staff. When accessed on the phone, it allows direct calls to pagers, phone numbers and hospital extensions.   The search feature allows searching the content of the site.

How do I access it?
