Our Advanced Life-Support Technology

We have invested in the "Gold Standard" of neonatal equipment to ensure that even the most complex cases have a fighting chance right here in Erode.

1. High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV)

• The Technology: A sophisticated ventilator that delivers hundreds of tiny breaths per minute.
• The Benefit: It protects fragile newborn lungs from the pressure damage of traditional breathing machines. It is the "gentle" way to support babies with severe respiratory failure or underdeveloped lungs..

2. Therapeutic Hypothermia (Total Body Cooling)

• The Technology: A specialized cooling mattress that precisely lowers a baby's body temperature for 72 hours.
• The Benefit: For babies who experienced a lack of oxygen at birth (Birth Asphyxia), this is the only proven way to protect the brain and prevent long-term developmental issues. Note: This must be started within 6 hours of birth.

3. Point-of-Care Ultrasound & Functional Echo

• The Technology: High-resolution bedside imaging used by the neonatologist in real-time.
• The Benefit: We don't wait for a radiologist. We can check the baby's heart function (Echo) and brain health (Neuro-sonogram) immediately at the bedside to make instant life-saving adjustments to treatment.

4. Level III Transport Incubator

• The Technology: A mobile intensive care unit equipped with its own power supply, oxygen, and transport ventilator.
• The Benefit: "The NICU comes to you." We ensure that the stabilization started at your birthing center continues safely during the journey to our unit.

6. Neonatal Incubator

• For care for extreme preterm babies (<28 weeks/1000gram)
• Think of this incubator as a 'bridge.' It's providing the 12 to 14 weeks of 'womb-time' that your baby missed. Every day in here is a day closer to them being strong enough to breathe the air and feel the warmth of your home.

5. Specialised services

• Neonatal Surgery with 24/7 available Pediatric surgeon
• ROP screening
• Hearing screen
