Our Experienced Team of Neonatal Care Specialists
For unexpected health concerns, trust our team of experts with hands-on experience in treating your health with care and precision.
At Deep Hospital’s advanced 30 -bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), we provide comprehensive, compassionate, and evidence-based care for critically ill and premature newborns. Designed to meet the highest standards of neonatal medicine, our NICU is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by a dedicated team of neonatologists, pediatricians, nurses, and allied health professionals. We specialize in the management of extremely low birth weight infants, respiratory distress, neonatal infections, and complex surgical conditions. Operating 24/7, the unit features real-time monitoring, advanced ventilatory support, and individualized developmental care tailored to each baby’s needs. Parents are actively involved in their baby’s journey through family-centered practices such as kangaroo care, lactation support, and daily counseling. A structured follow-up program ensures ongoing monitoring of growth, neurodevelopment, vision, and hearing after discharge. With excellent clinical outcomes and a compassionate approach, Deep Hospital’s NICU is a trusted referral center for high-risk newborns across the region.

We offer individualized care plans for micro-preemies, focusing on organ development, respiratory stability, and neurodevelopmental outcomes to improve survival and long-term health.
For neonates unable to tolerate oral feeds, we administer balanced IV nutrition through central/PICC lines to support growth, immunity, and tissue development in the early days of life.
Our NICU is equipped with advanced ventilators to manage respiratory distress. We use invasive methods (like HFOV) and gentle non-invasive techniques (CPAP, NIMV, HFNC) based on each baby’s condition.
Vital parameters including heart rate, oxygen saturation, respiration, and temperature are continuously monitored with central station alerts, enabling rapid response to any clinical change.
We maintain a neutral thermal environment using servo-controlled incubators and enforce stringent aseptic measures to minimize infections in vulnerable preterm infants.
Our trained resuscitation team ensures immediate intervention at birth, including airway management, oxygen therapy, and thermal care, for high-risk or non-vigorous newborns.
We administer surfactant to preterm babies with immature lungs using less-invasive methods (MIST/LISA), reducing the need for intubation and improving breathing efficiency early on.
We utilize high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) and volume-targeted ventilation to manage infants with severe respiratory distress. These technologies ensure lung protection while delivering precise ventilation tailored to the baby’s needs.
Gradual reduction in respiratory support is achieved through stepwise weaning strategies. This promotes natural lung function recovery while minimizing the risk of ventilation-associated complications.
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) are used to assist breathing without intubation, reducing trauma and infection risks while maintaining effective oxygenation.
Surfactant is administered to preterm infants with Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) to improve lung compliance. We employ minimally invasive techniques like MIST and LISA to reduce complications and promote quicker recovery.
Real-time cardiac ultrasound performed at the bedside to assess Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA), ventricular function, and perfusion, guiding timely interventions in hypotensive or unstable infants.
Medications like dopamine and dobutamine are used to improve cardiac output and stabilize blood pressure in neonates with low perfusion due to shock of various origins.
Continuous monitoring and rapid treatment of abnormal heart rhythms to prevent circulatory failure and maintain adequate oxygen delivery to vital organs.
Supportive measures including prostaglandin therapy, oxygen modulation, and fluid management are used to maintain circulation in newborns with duct-dependent or cyanotic heart defects.
Advanced blood tests and infection markers are used to detect early signs of sepsis, enabling prompt clinical intervention before systemic deterioration occurs.
Comprehensive treatment protocols are in place for confirmed bacterial infections, neonatal meningitis, and vertically transmitted TORCH infections, with close monitoring and supportive care.
NICU staff follow rigorous hand hygiene, barrier nursing, and sterilization practices. Continuous surveillance helps prevent and control infection outbreaks.
Empirical antibiotics are selected based on resistance patterns and adjusted after culture results, ensuring effective treatment while minimizing antibiotic overuse.
Cooling therapy is initiated within the first 6 hours of life for eligible neonates with Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE), reducing the risk of brain injury and improving neurodevelopmental outcomes.
Bedside cranial ultrasound provides real-time imaging of the neonatal brain, while EEG monitoring detects seizures and evaluates brain activity in critically ill infants.
Routine assessments are performed to identify developmental delays early, enabling timely referral to physiotherapy, occupational therapy, or neurology.
Conditions like seizures, intracranial hemorrhage, and brain malformations are promptly diagnosed and treated by a multidisciplinary neonatal neurology team.
Critically ill newborns with conditions such as Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC), Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH), and bowel atresias receive tailored care protocols to stabilize them pre-surgery and support recovery postoperatively.
Infants with complex birth defects often need multiple surgeries over time. Our team ensures safe staging, continuous monitoring, and long-term follow-up to optimize surgical outcomes.
We work in collaboration with pediatric and neurosurgical specialists to deliver seamless surgical care, including shared decision-making, anesthesia planning, and post-surgical NICU support.
For neonates who cannot tolerate enteral feeding, TPN delivers essential nutrients intravenously, supporting growth, organ function, and immune development during early recovery.
Blood tests are performed shortly after birth to detect inherited metabolic diseases like PKU or hypothyroidism, enabling early treatment to prevent lifelong complications.
Automated auditory testing identifies hearing impairments early, allowing for timely intervention to support speech and cognitive development.
Each baby’s feeding is tailored based on weight, gestational age, and medical condition. We monitor growth parameters closely and adjust feeding plans to meet evolving needs.
Timely retinal evaluations are conducted for premature babies at risk of Retinopathy of Prematurity, a condition that can lead to blindness if not diagnosed early.
Laser photocoagulation is available in-house for immediate treatment of ROP, minimizing disease progression and preserving vision without requiring external referral.
Scheduled ophthalmologic assessments continue after NICU discharge to track eye health and catch any developmental or refractive issues early.
Parents are encouraged to spend time with their baby, participate in care routines, and build early bonding through kangaroo care, enhancing infant recovery and family confidence.
Certified lactation consultants assist mothers in initiating and maintaining breastfeeding. For preterm babies, we also provide access to donor milk when needed.
NICU hospitalization can be overwhelming. We offer mental health support and counseling to help families cope with stress, anxiety, and uncertainty during their baby’s treatment.
Families receive regular medical updates, comprehensive discharge instructions, and personalized home care plans to ensure a smooth transition after NICU discharge.
Infants born premature, low birth weight, or with medical complications are enrolled in a scheduled follow-up clinic to track their ongoing progress and ensure timely interventions.
Regular assessments focus on weight gain, milestone achievement, sensory development, and early signs of delay, enabling comprehensive monitoring of the child’s development.
Babies showing delays or abnormalities are referred early to physiotherapy, speech, occupational, or developmental therapy to maximize recovery potential.
Customized care plans are created in collaboration with parents, emphasizing supportive environments and parent education to foster continued growth at home.
Our twins were born at just 28 weeks, and the NICU team at Deep Hospital cared for them like family. They used advanced incubators and constant monitoring, and kept us updated every step of the way. Today, our babies are thriving thanks to their dedication.
