Paediatric & Neonatal lntensive Care Unit

The Neonatal lntensive Care Unit (NICU) of Greater Kailash Hospital is a leading center for the management of critically ill newborn infants, equipped with the latest technolog)/ and therapies available to offer the tiniest of our patients the best chance for survival. About 70 percent of our patients are born here, while 30 percent of infants are transferred to our NICU from other hospitals and NlCUs.

Our NICU cares for a large volume of critically ill newborns each year with a va riety of life-threatening problems. The NICU is equipped to care for sick or premature newborn (born before 37 weeks of pregnancy), newborn with low birth weight (less than 2.5 Kg.), or those who have a medical condition that requires special medical or surgical care. Twins, triplets, and other multiples often are admitted to the NICU, as they tend to be born earlier and are smaller than single birth babies.

Our skilled and dedicated staff of physicians, neonatal nurses, respiratory therapists, physiotherapists, nutritionists, and pharmacists are specially trained to provide the highest quality of care with compassion and sensitivity Our NICU nurses are experienced and highly tralned in a range of medical, technological, and surgical interventions. They not only care for the infants, but they also provide care, support, and education forthe infants' parents as well.

While in the NICU, each baby's condition is monitored at all times using the latest specialized equipment. These conditions may include extreme prematurity, respiratory failure, gastrointestinal disorders, as well as congenital anomalies, congenital heart disease and other conditions that may require surgery.

The hospital has an outstanding team of pediatric speciatists covering all the major fields in pediatrics. They are available round the clock to tackle any emergency like status epilepticus, acute severe asthma, dengue shock syndrome etc.

We recognize that the birth of a child is an incredibly special time for parents and families, but we also recognize that having a child admitted to the NICU can be very difficult and stressful. Our staff is committed to addressing parents' concerns, respecting their choices and beliefs, and assuring them that we will make their infant's stay as comfortable as possible.

The unit is warmly decorated and provides significant space for clinicians and parents at the bedside. A nurse's station is situated directly in front of patient beds allowing for close supervision and monitoring of each infant. ln addition, the NICU has a loungeand privacyareas.
