Home–Child Care Unit
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit :
The neonatal intensive care unit at Dev Hospital specializes in providing medical attention to neonates who are ill, especially preterm and extremely premature infants. Newer treatment modalities, means for artificially supporting life, and infection control mechanisms have greatly contributed to a significant decline in the overall death rate among infants. New ground has been broken in the field of newborn medicine thanks to the establishment of Dev’s Pride, which is widely regarded as one of the most cutting-edge neonatal units in the world. Babies born prematurely or as a result of high-risk pregnancies, such as those that occurred after in vitro fertilization, require the specialized attention of a tertiary care unit that is outfitted with cutting-edge medical technology, such as high-frequency ventilators. The unit is responsible for both the preoperative and postoperative care of newborn crises. The use of a travel incubator that has monitoring capabilities as well as a transport ventilator makes it possible to carry an infant safely across extensive distances. Survival rates have significantly increased because to mobile ventilation and a robust network that is available at Dev. These advancements, which are supported by traditional neonatal management technologies (incubators, computerized monitoring of blood pressure, oxygen levels in the blood, blood gas analysis, etc.), will not be of any help unless they are put to use by a team of trained professionals who are committed and enthusiastic about their work.
The intensive care unit crew has extensive experience working in other countries, making them exceptionally suited to handle difficult surgical situations. During the first month of a newborn’s existence, and especially during the first hour of life, the infant must always be expertly supervised. Enhancements in imaging technology even before birth, including fetal echo and ultrasound. Changing the face of long-term follow-up results of neonatal intensive care for ill preterm babies with low birth weight has been a significant challenge for well-baby clinics and parent support networks, but they have made significant strides in this area. The parents of infants who have been admitted to the ward are given unrestricted access to visit their child during their stay. They are strongly encouraged to take an active role in the care that is provided for their infant on a daily basis.
It is very recommended that mothers share a room with their infants. Both the neonatal and obstetric units collaborate on a regular basis. Discussion is had on difficult pregnancies, and preparations for the birth are made in such a way as to be beneficial to the mother as well as the child. Classes in prenatal care are offered on a consistent basis to women who are currently carrying a child. This makes them more aware of the process of labor and childbirth, which better prepares them for the moment when the baby is really delivered. Additionally, fathers are strongly urged to be there during the labor and delivery process.

The Pediatric Intensive Care unit at Dev Hospital is a state-of-the-art facility that features nine beds and all of the most up-to-date amenities. The center provides medical attention to children as young as 28 days old and as old as 16 years old, and it receives referrals from all around India and other countries.

The unit is fully backed by 24-hour support of all pediatric and pediatric surgical subspecialties, including Neurology, Gastroenterology, Nephrology, Pulmonology, Cardiology, Endocrinology, Rheumatology, and Hemato-oncology.
