A neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a specialized hospital unit designed to care for premature or critically ill newborns. These units are equipped with advanced medical technology and staffed by a team of healthcare professionals, including neonatologists, nurses, and respiratory therapists, who provide round-the-clock care. NICUs offer various treatments, such as incubators for temperature control, ventilators for breathing support, and monitoring equipment for vital signs. The goal of a NICU is to ensure the health and development of vulnerable infants, helping them transition to a stable condition before they can go home.
