Neonatal intensive care, often provided in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), is a specialized area of medical care for newborns who require intensive monitoring and treatment. These infants may be premature, have low birth weight, congenital disorders, or experience complications during delivery that necessitate advanced medical support. The NICU is equipped with sophisticated technology, including incubators, ventilators, and monitors that track vital signs continuously.

Care in the NICU is delivered by a multidisciplinary team, including neonatologists, specialized nurses, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare professionals, who work together to address the complex needs of these vulnerable infants. The care provided encompasses respiratory support, nutritional management, infection control, and developmental care, aiming to stabilize the baby's condition and promote growth and development. Parents are encouraged to participate in their baby's care to foster bonding and support the neonate's emotional well-being. The ultimate goal of neonatal intensive care is to ensure that each baby reaches a stable condition and can transition safely to a less intensive care setting or home, with ongoing support and follow-up as needed.
