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 specialized feeding. The NICU is equipped with technology to help manage the unique health needs of these vulnerable infants. In the NICU, healthcare professionals, including neonatologists, nurses, and respiratory therapists, work together to ensure the best possible outcomes for the babies. Parents are often encouraged to participate in their baby's care, fostering bonding and support during this challenging time.
