The Single-Family Room Neonatal Intensive Care Environment

No randomized, blind, controlled trials have been conducted of single-family room (SFR) and open bay (OPBY) neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) designs.

It is important to emphasize that care in the SFR NICU should be enhanced with appropriate developmental and family-centered care.
