newborn intensive care

The Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a specialized department in hospitals dedicated to the care of premature and critically ill newborns. These babies often require advanced medical attention, including respiratory support, monitoring of vital signs, and specialized feeding. The NICU is staffed by a team of healthcare professionals, including neonatologists, nurses, and therapists, who work together to provide personalized care to each infant. The environment is designed to support the unique needs of these fragile babies, with equipment like incubators, ventilators, and infusion pumps. Parents play an important role in the NICU, offering emotional support and being involved in their baby’s care as much as possible. The goal of the NICU is to help these vulnerable infants grow and develop safely so that they can eventually go home with their families.
