Neonatology is the specialised care of the sick and the new born including
premature and tiny babies. The advent of newer therapeutic modalities,
artificial life-support techniques and infection control mechanism has
tremendously decreased mortality in newborn. Apollo's pride one of the most
advanced neonatal units in the world, ushers in a new era in neonatal
medicine. The Neonatal ICU at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals is 20 bedded
equipped with all the latest facilities for the newborn.
Mobile ventilation, a comprehensive network available only at Apollo has
improved survival. These advances, backed by conventional neonate management
technology (incubators, computerized monitoring including blood pressure,
oxygen levels in the blood, blood gas analysis etc.) would be of no use
unless a skilled, dedicated professional team utilizes them. The ICU team is
highly qualified with experience abroad and is capable of dealing with
complicated surgical cases.
It is important with every baby to be managed professionally in the first
month of life and specially the first hour. Improved investigation back ups
even before birth (foetal echo and ultrasound of the head) well-baby clinics
and parent support networks have come a long way in changing the face of
neonatology medicine.
The department is supported by neonatal transport service, very well
equipped neonatal intensive care, endoscopic equipments and well developed
pediatric subspecialties. The unit has extensive experience in dealing with
all kinds of major congenital anomalies and consistently produced excellent
results.
