Overview
As one of India’s biggest and most comprehensive healthcare practitioners, Aspire Hospital Department of Neonatology runs state of the art Newborn Intensive Care Units (NICU) for the care of neonatal babies that have fallen sick or have been born pre-maturely.
Each NICU is run by expert neonatologists who are assisted by a team of respiratory therapists, neonatal nursing experts and resident physicians. It is very common for neonates to require blood transfusions while in the NICU. Since neonates are already in a weakened state, blood transfusions are often needed to help the neonate maintain enough blood for circulation. The blood transfusion is done through an intravenous line.
Treatment and Procedures
Thanks to advancement in neonatal care and the facilities available in the modern NICU, even premature babies that are born with as little as 24 weeks of gestation have significantly increased chances of survival. In December 2018, a baby born at just 245 grams with 23 weeks and 3 days of gestation was able to survive and after 5 months, was discharged from the hospital and is expected to live a healthy life.
Sometimes babies are born without fully developed body systems, which can make survival difficult. The lungs may not be able to breathe, the heart may not be pumping blood effectively etc.
