Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/13/2018 -- A neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), also known as an intensive care nursery (ICN), is a specialized unit where ill or premature newborn babies who need intensive medical attention are admitted. The term neonatal refers to the initial 28 days of a baby’s life. A neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) usually includes specialist staff such as neonatologists and neonatal nurses, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, and dietitians. Clinicians specializing in other ancillary disciplines are also available in larger units. The neonatal nurses are advanced practice nurses that look after premature babies and sick newborns in intensive care units, delivery rooms, emergency rooms, and special clinics. According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 15 million babies are born preterm every year across the globe and more than 3.5 million premature births are reported in India alone. As per the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data, in 2016, nearly 1 in every 10 infants born in the U.S. was a preterm baby. Preterm birth and related complications are a leading cause of death in children under five-years of age.

Preterm birth can be unexpected and overwhelming for the parents and NICU services help cope with complications during and after the birth of the premature baby. NICU provides a wide range of services including heart, surgery, neurology, urology, and other specialists, diagnostic services for complex medical problems and genetic disorders, dietary supervision, incubators, and ventilators, and social services for emotional support and other assistance (lodging, insurance, etc.)
