ELANTIS provides round-the-clock care and technologically advanced units, equipped to deal with various medical conditions. We are thoroughly prepared to take on even the most complicated cases.
In order to deliver truly reliable intensive care, we leverage the most advanced equipment and proven approaches to critical case management. Our centres are equipped with an Adult High Dependency Unit and a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, certified by the National Neonatology Forum as the highest level of intensive care.
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a specialized unit within a hospital that provides intensive medical care for newborn infants, particularly those who are premature, critically ill, or have other medical complications.
Babies may be admitted to the NICU for various reasons, including prematurity, low birth weight, respiratory distress syndrome, infections, birth defects, jaundice, feeding difficulties, or complications during delivery.
NICUs are classified into different levels based on the types of services and level of care provided. Level I NICUs provide basic care for stable newborns, while Level II and Level III NICUs offer progressively more advanced care, including ventilator support and surgical interventions.
Equipment commonly used in the NICU includes incubators or warmers to regulate body temperature, ventilators to support breathing, monitors to track vital signs, feeding tubes, phototherapy lights for jaundice treatment, and specialized equipment for procedures.
Parents can expect a team of healthcare professionals to care for their baby in the NICU, including regular assessments, monitoring, and treatments as needed. They will receive updates on their baby’s condition and be involved in decision-making regarding their care.
