"At 25 weeks we had preterm labour. Out of nowhere our life changed and we had a 750 grams young boy. Generally the survival of a 25-week-old baby is considered quite slim. But with faith in God and the facilities at Cloudnine Panchkula we began our journey. Dr. Saurabh did the CPR. Then Dr. Sahil Bansal took care of him for 75 long days. Dr. Sail Bansal entertained every little call of mine. With God's grace and Dr. Sahil's great effort my son pulled through. The loving nurses of this hospital are wonderful. I thank this hospital which has state-of-the-art facilities, and excellent sepsis control. I thank the doctors, the nurses and the facilities at Cloudnine"
"When my baby was admitted on the first day, we were very apprehensive. We met Dr. Mohd. Amir and she got admitted under him. In 2-3 days, she began to feel comfortable. He explained everything clearly. We believed in what he said, and the situation improved with each passing day. Overall, the nursing staff were very supportive and caring. The admin staff took care of everything and supported us in every way. Overall, I'll say that if we plan for a next baby, it will be with Cloudnine from day"
"We were in consultation with Dr. Neha Khandelwal. We had a premature delivery in the 33rd week. Under the consultation and good guidance of Dr. Vinay Kumar Rai, he was admitted in the NICU for 10 days. He is in good health now and his weight has improved to 2.8 kg. Very good guidance and advice has been given by Dr. Vinay Kumar Rai. Neha ma'am was also very good. We recommend this hospital for your baby's delivery. Thank you very much"
"Our baby was born on the 6th of April and she got really sick and we were recommended to Cloudnine because they have level-3 NICU. She had some breathing problems and it was a very scary moment for us, especially on the first day because it was serious. Dr. Gopal Agrawal took charge of the situation and gave us hope. We are glad that we found Cloudnine and Dr. Gopal Agrawal at the right time. Thank you"
"We had the best experience at Cloudnine. The service was good with all the supporting staff as well as Dr. Sriprada and Dr. Prakash Desai. We thank both of them. We had a wonderful experience. Thank you"
"I was suggested this hospital as it was an emergency and had to do an immediate C-section. The staff were very supportive, the doctors are well-trained and well-experienced. Specially the NICU staff, they were like a family to the baby. Dr. Somalika Pal, Consultant Pediatrician and Neonatologist, has been so supportive and caring. Ma'am would give me updates every day about my baby's recovery. This hospital is like a treat and makes one feel safe. Thank you"
NICU stands for newborn intensive care unit. This is a place in a hospital that provides around-the-clock care to sick or premature babies. It has doctors and paramedical staff who have special training and equipment to give your baby the best possible care.
ICU stands for Intensive Care Unit and is designed to cater to critically ill adults. NICU, on the other hand, is designed to cater to newborn babies who need critical treatment.
PICU stands for Paediatric Intensive Care Unit. In the PICU infants and children, up to 17 years old are treated by doctors. In a NICU, only newborns are provided critical care.
A level III NICU cares for very small babies, infants born as early as 27 to 30 weeks or very sick newborns. Level 3 NICUs have a wide variety of staff on-site, including neonatologists, neonatal nurses, and respiratory therapists who are available 24 hours a day.
Infants born at less than 32 weeks gestational age and weighing less than 1500 grams as well as critically ill newborns of any gestational age and birth weight, should be taken care of in a level III NICU.
Some common conditions treated at NICU are Anaemia, Breathing problems, Apnea, Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), Pneumonia, Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), Bradycardia, Coarctation of the aorta, Heart valve abnormalities, Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA), Septal defects, Tetralogy of Fallot, Transposition of the great arteries, Retinopathy of Prematurity, Sepsis, Macrosomia, Jaundice, Gastroschisis, Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) and so on.
Some common tests done in the NICU are blood tests, CT scans, echocardiograms, ECG, hearing tests, MRI, ROP exams, ultrasound, X-rays, urine tests and so on.
It depends on the baby’s medical condition and how well they can suck and swallow. If your baby can directly breastfeed, that is the best option. If your baby cannot breastfeed directly, you can feed her breast milk that you pump from your breasts using a bottle. Some babies may need a feeding tube and you can feed your pumped breast milk using that tube.
For babies who are very small or sick, the baby can only receive nutrients through an intravenous line (IV).
Newborn or neonatal jaundice is very common and causes yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes. Other symptoms of newborn jaundice can include dark, yellow urine and pale stools. The symptoms of newborn jaundice usually develop 2 days after the birth and tend to get better without treatment by the time the baby is about 2 weeks old.
It is caused by the build-up of bilirubin in the blood. Jaundice is common in newborn babies because babies have a high number of red blood cells in their blood, which are broken down and replaced frequently. Also, a newborn baby's liver is not fully developed, so it's less effective at removing the bilirubin from the blood.
When your baby is in the womb, it is covered in a baby moisturiser called vernix. After delivery, this layer slowly wears off and it appears that the baby’s skin is “peeling” or “moulting”. This shedding of old skin is completely normal and there is no need to apply any lotions or creams.
