The Neonatal Department is focused on helping families successfully manage and deliver high risk pregnancies, and helping neonates (babies) survive. Quality tertiary care to neonates can only be provided through concerted and focused efforts of a team of Obstetricians and Paediatricians backed by modern equipment and excellent support services.
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is in a newly built facility with all the details required by a modern neonatal intensive care unit. This 30-bed tertiary unit is spacious, with 3,000 SqFt of floor space. The unit treats premature babies with special needs and those born after high-risk pregnancies, such as in-vitro-fertilization (IVF), including surgical management of neonates.
Mehta Children's Hospital is committed to providing the best neonatal care in a baby-friendly environment at an affordable cost.
Mehta Children's Hospital brings advanced paediatric treatment, paediatric surgery, state of the art paediatric critical care, surgery and intensive care unit with ventilators and child development training within the reach of the common man.
The PICU at MCH provides tertiary level intensive care to children from 1 month to 16 years of age. The 9-bed PICU consists of four beds dedicated to the intensive care, five beds of high dependency. The PICU team includes Senior and Junior Consultants who are qualified Paediatric Intensivists. Registrars who are qualified Paediatricians provide round-the-clock care.
The team is completed with the able support of our nursing staff who not only provide one-to-one patient care, but are also trained to deal with families of critically ill children at an emotional level.
All the children have special individual needs, and the little ones admitted in PICU get a safe and comforting environment along with specialized care. This is further cemented by our policy of allowing the parents to be with their child.
PICU is equipped with the latest technology and skills to care for children with complex medical and surgical needs such as trauma, severe asthma, septic and dengue shock syndromes, ARDS, and multi-organ failure. These patients are managed with continuous invasive haemodynamic monitoring, ventilator support (invasive and non-invasive ventilation) and renal replacement therapy (peritoneal and haemodialysis).
The availability and close collaboration of all specialist services under one roof ensures that children with any form of serious illness are successfully treated in a focused and unified manner.
The team at the MCH-PICU ensures that quality critical care is delivered to sick children by conducting regular teaching sessions for in-house doctors and encouraging research.
Children transported from the referral hospital to the PICU are accompanied by a Paediatrician and a nurse, who ensure the maintenance of optimal care. A ventilator and monitor to facilitate smooth transport en-route to MCH- PICU are provided.
