Several medical interventions are frequently employed in NICUs to stabilize and treat neonates. These include:
1. Respiratory Support: Techniques such as Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), mechanical ventilation, and surfactant therapy are used to address respiratory distress. 2. Nutritional Support: Premature and critically ill babies often require specialized nutrition, delivered either via IV or through a feeding tube. 3. Medications: Antibiotics, antivirals, and other medications are administered to treat infections and other conditions. 4. Phototherapy: Utilized for treating jaundice by helping to break down excess bilirubin in the baby's blood.
