Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
As the parent of a premature baby, over the coming days, weeks and possibly months you are likely to spend a lot of time in the baby unit (also called the neonatal unit).
How the baby unit works
Every neonatal unit has its own set routine. Parents are usually allowed to visit their babies almost 24 hours a day, although there may be short periods when you are asked to leave - for example, during shift handover times.
Hygiene in baby units
The babies in these units are very vulnerable to infection, so you will be asked to wash your hands every time you enter the unit, and if you have a cough or cold you will be asked not to come in.
Equipment in baby units
Incubator: A see-through box on wheels which keeps your baby warm. It may be open, with an overhead heater or heated mattress, or closed, with a lid, to keep the air around your baby warm and humid.
Overhead heater: A heater for an open incubator to make sure your baby's temperature is correct.
Monitors: These check your baby's breathing rate, heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, and the amount of oxygen, carbon dioxide and acidity in his blood. They also alert staff if your baby has apnoea, in which the baby stops breathing for more than 10-20 seconds. This is quite common in premature babies.
Ambient oxygen analyser: This small appliance sits inside the incubator to make sure there is enough oxygen in the air.
Intravenous (IV) drip: Your baby can receive fluids, nutrients and medication through this narrow tube and needle. If your baby needs a drip for a long time, the team might insert a catheter (also called a PICC line or long line), which doesn't need to be changed so often.
Feeding pump and tubes: Flexible plastic tubes through which nutrients are passed. They might have one, or all, of the following: a nasogastric tube which goes through your baby's nose, an orogastic tube through their mouth and into their stomach, and a transpyloric tube which goes directly to thier gut.
Power supply: The point from where the power comes to power the other machines. All hospitals have back-up power in case of a power cut.
Ventilator monitor: A monitor on which all the ventilator settings are displayed.
Ventilator: Some babies will be put on a ventilator - a machine that blows air and oxygen through a tube into their nose or throat and into the lungs. A positive pressure ventilator delivers the air mixture in 'breaths' while an oscillatory or high-frequency ventilator delivers it through tiny vibrations.
