Shivya IVF’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by highly trained professionals. The NICU provides round-the-clock care for newborns who require intensive medical attention.
Our team of neonatologists, nurses, and other specialists work collaboratively to ensure the best outcomes for our tiniest patients. We have a multidisciplinary approach to neonatal care, involving input from pediatricians, surgeons, nutritionists, and developmental specialists.
Our NICU is equipped to provide advanced respiratory support, including mechanical ventilation, CPAP and surfactant therapy for premature babies. We have specialized equipment for monitoring vital signs, oxygen levels and other critical parameters.
Our NICU is equipped with phototherapy units, advanced imaging technology, including ultrasound & X-ray, to aid in diagnosis and treatment. Our NICU is divided into different levels of care, ranging from Level I for basic neonatal care to Level III for the most complex cases.
We offer a family-centered approach to care, encouraging parents to participate in their baby’s treatment plan and providing support and education every step of the way. Our NICU provides a comfortable and supportive environment for families, with amenities such as private rooms, lactation consultants, and family lounges.
We prioritize kangaroo care and skin-to-skin contact between parents and babies, promoting bonding and emotional well-being. We follow strict infection control protocols to minimize the risk of hospital-acquired infections.
Our team emphasizes developmental care practices to support the neurological and physical development of premature babies. We provide comprehensive follow-up care for NICU graduates, ensuring they receive ongoing support as they transition home. We do ROP and OAE screening for NICU graduates.
We offer a range of support services for families, including counselling and financial assistance. We have a dedicated social worker who assists families with navigating the complexities of insurance and discharge planning.
