critical care in neonatology

Critical care in neonatology involves specialized medical support for newborns facing serious health issues, such as extreme prematurity, birth complications, or infections. It requires a team of healthcare professionals providing advanced interventions—including respiratory support, nutrition, and monitoring—to stabilize and protect the fragile body systems of these infants. The goal is to give them the best chance to grow, develop, and recover, often in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This care is highly specialized, tailored to each baby's needs, and essential for improving survival and long-term health outcomes.
