Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
A Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a specialized hospital unit designed to care for premature or critically ill newborns. It provides advanced medical support, including monitoring, respiratory assistance, and nutritional care, to help these infants survive and thrive. The NICU is equipped with advanced technology and staffed by a team of healthcare professionals, including neonatologists, nurses, and respiratory therapists.
In the NICU, babies may receive treatments for various conditions, such as low birth weight, infections, or congenital disorders. Parents are encouraged to be involved in their baby's care, and the unit often provides resources to support families during this challenging time.
