At Bimolara International Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), we understand the importance of providing specialized care for premature and critically ill newborns. Our team of highly skilled neonatologists, neonatal nurses, and respiratory therapists is dedicated to offering the highest level of care for these fragile infants. Our state-of-the-art NICU environment is designed to promote healing and development, while providing a comforting space for families.
What is Neonatology?
Neonatology is a branch of medicine specializing in the care of newborns, particularly premature infants and those with birth defects or serious medical conditions. Neonatologists are pediatricians who have received additional training and expertise in caring for critically ill newborns.
Who Needs NICU Care?
Newborns who may require NICU care include:
- Premature babies: Babies born before 37 weeks gestation often require specialized support with breathing, feeding, and temperature regulation.
- Babies with low birth weight: Newborns with a birth weight below 2,500 grams (5.5 pounds) may need extra care to ensure proper growth and development.
- Babies with breathing difficulties: Newborns experiencing respiratory problems due to underdeveloped lungs or other medical conditions may require breathing support in the NICU.
- Babies with infections: Newborns who develop serious infections may require specialized treatment and monitoring in the NICU.
- Babies with birth defects: Newborns with congenital malformations may need immediate medical or surgical intervention, often provided within the NICU.
