Main Article Content
Abstract
Several pioneering neonatologists laid the foundation for practice with sick and preterm babies in intensive care. Stanley Graven was one of them. His contributions to the field in the 1960s and 70s were not those of new surgical procedures, identification of new treatments, or technological advances. Instead, he was known for developing hospital systems that developed specialized neonatal units and resulted in decreased infant mortality. He further influenced care of babies and by showing that education for the then basic level hospitals in delivery room care, control of glucose and temperature as well as early recognition and support for respiratory distress could significantly change outcomes for babies.
