NICUs are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to monitor and treat newborns. Some common equipment includes:
- Incubators: Provide a controlled environment to maintain the infant’s body temperature. - Ventilators: Assist with breathing in babies who have underdeveloped lungs or respiratory issues. - Monitors: Continuously track vital signs like heart rate, oxygen levels, and blood pressure. - IV Pumps: Administer fluids, nutrition, and medications. - Phototherapy Lights: Treat jaundice by breaking down excess bilirubin in the infant’s body.
