NICU
AASTAR Hospital NICU stands for Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, a specialized department within a hospital that provides intensive medical care for newborn infants, especially those born prematurely or with medical conditions requiring specialized attention.
Key features of a NICU include:
- Premature Birth Care: NICUs cater to premature babies (preemies) born before 37 weeks gestation, who often require specialized care due to their underdeveloped organs and systems.
- Critical Care for Newborns: Infants with critical medical conditions such as respiratory distress syndrome, infections, congenital abnormalities, low birth weight, or complications during birth receive specialized care in the NICU.
- Advanced Technology: NICUs are equipped with specialized medical equipment, including incubators, ventilators, monitoring devices, and other tools necessary for the care of fragile newborns.
- Highly Specialized Staff: A team of neonatologists, nurses, respiratory therapists, and other specialists trained in neonatal care provides around-the-clock monitoring and care for infants in the NICU.
- Family-Centered Care: NICUs often encourage family involvement in the care process, providing education, emotional support, and opportunities for parents to bond with their newborns despite the medical challenges.
Aastar Hospital NICU aims to provide a supportive and controlled environment for newborns requiring specialized medical attention, with the ultimate goal of improving their health and ensuring their safe transition to regular care or to home once they are stable and ready for discharge.
