Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
This 25 bedded advanced unit is something we are proud and can boast as one of the best in the country. Over the last few years we have had about 800 admissions per annum and backed by a full-time Neonatologist of vast experience, we have achieved about 80% survival in 26-27wk gestation babies and over 97% survival in babies 28 wks and above. These results were possible due to the dedicated efforts of 1:1 nursing care and an array of modern equipment like warmers and incubators, dedicated neonatal ventilators, High Frequency Occillators , CPAP systems and individualized cardiorespiratory monitors.
CPAP ventilation
CPAP is a non-invasive form of providing respiratory support to premature babies. This is soft on lungs and is widely used in newborn units around the world.Prematurity
Unfortunately, many newborns are born premature. These babies are fragile and have several complications. It takes a lot of effort and quality care to make them see this world.Mechanical Ventilation
Babies sometimes need to be put on ventilators for a short duration to overcome serious respiratory disorders. This can be life-saving and is the core to neonatal intensive care.Kangaroo mother care
Kangaroo care, a method in which mother gives skin-to-skin care, ensures physiological and psychological warmth and bonding. The parent's stable body temperature helps to regulate the neonate's temperature more smoothly than an incubator, and allows for readily accessible breastfeeding when the mother holds the baby this way. This has been proven to be low-cost technology which improves the survival of premature babies significantly.
