TREATMENT AND SERVICES

treatment and services

• Incubators: Contemporarily termed as Isolettes, theseare enclosed plastic cases in which newborn babies are kept to keep them warm and help them stabilize their body temperature. Babies with Breathing Issues, Gestational Diabetes, Infection, Low Birth Weight, Surgery or Trauma are also kept in incubators.
• Phototherapy: It is the first line of treatment to effectively manage pathological unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia (jaundice).  During the therapy, the neonatal specialist exposes the baby to a special type of light that makes it easier for the infant’s liver to break down and remove bilirubin from the blood. It reduces TSB to safe levels and cuts down the risk of bilirubin toxicity and the need for exchange transfusion in babies.
• Persistent Diarrhea: Diarrhea in newborn babies is often a challenging clinical condition. In some cases, it could last for more than two weeks and if not treated at the right time, it could even be fatal. The condition could be caused due to several uncommon congenital anatomic anomalies of the intestine and a group of rare genetic disorders called Congenital Diarrheas and enteropathies.
• Severe Dehydration: Diarrhea, vomiting, or sweating can be a leading cause for a baby to lose too much fluid and suffer from dehydraton.The neonatologist at the Apollo Sage Hospitals in Bhopal provides the newborn with fluids through a soft tube that goes through the nose and into the stomach or uses an intravenous fluid to replenish the lost fluid.
