Neonatal Intensive Care: The Ultimate Care
for Our Tiniest Patients
Neonatal intensive care refers to the specialized care and treatment of newborns who arrive prematurely or who are born with complications.
Generally, high-risk babies are those born before 37 weeks and/or those who weigh less than 2,500 grams (5½ pounds) at birth.
These babies may need help with breathing since their lungs are not yet fully developed. Others may need medical care for infections or heartbeat irregularities. Although an expectant mother anticipates a healthy delivery, she can be reassured that this medical experience is just across the hall from the Labor/Delivery/Recovery suites, ready 24 hours a day to respond to possible problems.
