Verified clinical guidance on NICU care and newborn critical care in Srinagar.
What is a Level-III NICU?
A Level-III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a highly specialized intensive care nursery equipped to provide comprehensive, life-saving critical care for extremely premature babies (born at less than 32 weeks), low-birth-weight infants, and neonates with severe respiratory, cardiovascular, or metabolic conditions.
What advanced respiratory facilities do you offer in the NICU?
We offer complete non-invasive and invasive respiratory setups, including Bubble CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) for respiratory distress syndrome, high-flow nasal oxygen systems, and state-of-the-art neonatal mechanical ventilators for severe respiratory failure.
How is neonatal jaundice managed in your intensive care?
Neonatal jaundice is managed using advanced double and triple-surface blue-light phototherapy systems that safely and rapidly break down high bilirubin levels. For extremely critical cases with neurological risks, we perform high-precision exchange blood transfusions.
Do parents have access to their babies in the NICU?
Yes. We firmly believe in family-centered care. Mothers are encouraged to visit their babies, participate in Kangaroo Mother Care (skin-to-skin contact) which aids growth, and provide expressed breast milk to enhance the baby’s immune system under our nursing supervision.
