Several advanced technologies are utilized in NICUs to ensure the well-being of newborns:
1. Incubators: Provide a controlled environment with optimal temperature and humidity for premature or ill newborns. 2. Ventilators: Assist babies who are unable to breathe on their own due to underdeveloped lungs or respiratory distress syndrome. 3. CPAP Machines: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machines help keep the airways open in infants with breathing difficulties. 4. Phototherapy Units: Treat newborn jaundice by using light to break down excess bilirubin in the baby's blood. 5. ECMO Machines: Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation machines provide heart-lung bypass support in severe cases. 6. Monitors: Track vital signs such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation.
