experience, there are times when problems arise and admission to a Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit (NICU) becomes necessary. Members of the Division of Neonatology at Staten Island
University Hospital are highly trained specialists, who deliver care to infants
with a wide range of problems including prematurity and its complications,
respiratory disorders, heart disease and infection. Care is provided in collaboration with a dedicated staff of
Neonatal Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Physician’s Assistants
and Respiratory Therapists. The state-of-the-art medical care provided in the NICU
includes mechanical ventilation, both conventional and high frequency, inhaled
nitric oxide, multichannel studies for the diagnosis of infant breathing
disorders and many more of the latest diagnostic and therapeutic techniques.
In addition, surgical specialists are available to operate
on a wide range of congenital
abnormalities in even the tiniest of patients. To
assist in the diagnosis and evaluation of newborn infants with complex medical
problems, radiologists specializing in the care of infants are available
whenever needed. Along with the highest quality of care, all patients are
treated in a manner that promotes normal development and makes the family the
center of all treatment plans. For further information, please contact: Division of Neonatology (718) 226-9796 GO TO: PEDIATRICS HOME > SIUH HOME
