Paediatrics and Neonatology

Neonatology is a subspeciality of paediatrics that focuses on providing comprehensive medical care for newborn infants, especially those who are born prematurely, have low birth weight, or encounter medical complexities shortly after birth.

At Medcy Hospitals, in addition to afterbirth support, if a health condition is diagnosed before birth, neonatologists can become involved in the mother’s prenatal care. They may also be present in the delivery room to immediately treat newborn babies. We understand that neonates are delicate and need specialised medical care to promote healthy development and a smooth transition into the world.

The Difference Between Neonatologists and Paediatricians

A neonatologist can be a paediatrician, but not all paediatricians can be neonatologists. That is because a paediatrician must undergo extra years of training and learning to become a neonatologist.

Neonatologists primarily work in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), providing round-the-clock medical attention to fragile infants who need constant monitoring and treatment. They are well-versed in using advanced medical techniques and equipment that caters specifically to the needs of newborns.

Neonatal Services at Medcy Hospitals

There are various reasons why a pregnant person may need to see a neonatologist before or after birth. It includes a high-risk pregnancy, premature birth, diagnosis of congenital disorders, or any unexpected health conditions or injuries encountered at birth.

Neonatologists at Medcy Hospitals treat a wide range of health conditions affecting newborns. Some of the most common conditions they treat include:

Premature Births: Premature infants often require specialised care as their organs may not have fully developed.

Low Birth Weight: Neonatologists create nutritional plans to promote healthy weight gain among newborns with low birth weight to boost proper development.

Congenital Malformations: In cases of congenital disabilities, a neonatologist prepares a comprehensive treatment plan in conjunction with other paediatric specialists to address the challenges.

Respiratory Issues: For infants experiencing respiratory distress, neonatologists ensure proper lung function by providing immediate intervention and respiratory support.

Heart Conditions: Whether it is septal defects or bradycardia, neonatologists are at the forefront of managing various heart conditions to optimize cardiac health.

Brain Conditions: Neonatologists work with paediatric neurologists to address neurological problems a newborn may experience.

Neonatal Hypoglycemia: Hypoglycemia can cause various problems for newborn babies, such as blue tint, shakiness, feeding and breathing problems. Neonatologists closely monitor low blood sugar levels after treatment to ensure stable glucose levels.

Nutrition Management: Neonatologists handle nutritional requirements and growth concerns among babies. They support breastfeeding by administering and managing feeding tubes.

Birth Injuries: If an injury occurs during delivery, neonatologists prepare a multidisciplinary course of action to provide the highest care for the baby’s recovery.
