Preterm and Low Birth Weight Care: Neonatal care includes specialized attention for preterm and low birth weight infants, who may face challenges related to organ development and overall health.
Respiratory Support: Newborns often require respiratory support, ranging from oxygen therapy to mechanical ventilation, to assist with breathing and lung development.
Temperature Regulation: Maintaining an appropriate body temperature is crucial for newborns. Incubators or radiant warmers are commonly used to ensure the infant’s comfort and well-being.
Nutritional Support: Neonatal care involves providing optimal nutrition, often through specialized formulas or, in the case of premature infants, through parenteral nutrition until they can feed independently.
Monitoring and Diagnostic Tests: Continuous monitoring of vital signs, regular diagnostic tests, and screenings are conducted to identify and address any medical issues promptly.
Infection Prevention and Control: Due to their vulnerable immune systems, neonates receive meticulous care to prevent and manage infections. Strict hygiene protocols and limited exposure to potential pathogens are enforced.
Developmental Care: Neonatal care emphasizes developmental support, considering factors such as positioning, handling, and sensory stimulation to promote healthy growth and neurodevelopment.
Family-Centered Care: Inclusive of the family, neonatal care encourages parental involvement, providing education, emotional support, and involvement in the decision-making process for the well-being of the newborn.
Specialized Neonatal Units: Guru Hospital is equipped with specialized neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) staffed by skilled healthcare professionals, ensuring around-the-clock care for newborns with complex medical needs.
Follow-Up Care: Post-discharge, neonatal care may extend into follow-up clinics, providing ongoing monitoring and support for infants as they transition to home care.
