NPO Rubin

NPO Rubin, also known as Rubin's NPO (Non-Propulsive Oscillation), is a diagnostic tool used in neonatology to assess the neurological function of preterm infants. It involves observing spontaneous, non-crying movements, such as limb motions or startup behaviors, to evaluate brain activity and development. These movements are important indicators of neurological health, helping clinicians identify potential issues early on. The assessment is non-invasive and provides valuable information on the infant’s neurological status, guiding further care and intervention to support optimal brain development in vulnerable newborns.
