The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)

What is the NICU?

The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a specialized unit in a hospital that provides intensive care for premature or critically ill newborn babies. These fragile infants require close monitoring and specialized medical attention to ensure their well-being and development. At Inamdar Multispecialty Hospital, our NICU is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed with highly trained medical professionals who are dedicated to providing the best care for these delicate patients. NICU Hospital in Wanowrie, Fatima Nagar, NIBM, and Kondhwa is Providing Specialized Care for Newborns.

Which babies need special care?

Premature babies and those with health issues such as breathing difficulties, heart problems, infections, and birth defects may require special care in the NICU. Several factors contribute to the need for intensive care for newborns, including maternal factors, delivery factors, and baby factors.

  1. Maternal factors:- Certain conditions that affect the mother during pregnancy can increase the likelihood of a baby needing NICU care. These factors may include pregnancy-induced hypertension, gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, and placental abnormalities. Our experienced NICU team closely monitors these conditions and provides appropriate care for both the mother and the baby.
  2. Delivery factors:- The circumstances surrounding the delivery can also impact a newborn’s health and require NICU intervention. Factors such as an emergency C-section, prolonged labor, breech presentation, and multiple births can increase the risk of complications and necessitate specialized care. Our NICU is prepared to handle these situations and provide immediate attention to ensure the well-being of the newborn.
  3. Baby factors:- Certain conditions or complications may arise in newborns that require specialized care. Prematurity, low birth weight, respiratory distress syndrome, jaundice, infections, and birth defects are some of the factors that can result in a newborn needing NICU support. Our NICU team is skilled in managing these conditions and providing comprehensive care to promote the baby’s growth and development.
