- Pediatric & Neonatology
Pediatrics & Neonatology is the speciality of medicine dealing with the medical care of infants and children. Paediatrics differs from adult medicine in many respects. The smaller body of an infant or neonate is substantially different physiologically from that of an adult. Congenital defects, genetic variance, and a host of other issues are of greater concern to paediatricians and neonatologists than they often are to adult physicians.
Some diseases are more often treated by paediatricians because only recently did the majority of these patients survive into adulthood. Issues revolving around infectious diseases and immunizations are also dealt with by paediatricians. Put simply, treating a child is not like treating a miniature adult; it is this that paediatricians and neonatologists specialize in.
Titan Hospital’s pediatric and neonatology department offers the best child health care services through its super speciality set up. It is co-located with the obstetrics & maternity department, to ensure the continuous provision of excellence in clinical care that the children deserve. The department is staffed by highly specialist professionals, equipped with modern equipment, and located at a state of the art facility.
The department has a state-of-the-art Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, or the NICU, inside the Maternity Wing adjacent to the labour room which allows immediate transfer of pre-term babies or newborns requiring emergency care. This special care unit is staffed by senior trained nurses and doctors. The unit has ventilators, warmer-integrated phototherapy, EEG and ECG services, plus all that needed to look after preterm and sick newborns.
Our NICU is equipped with all the modern pediatric care instruments like ventilators, cardioscope monitors, CPAP machines, LED Phototherapy machines to meet the needs of critically ill newborns.
In addition to the above ward, the department also has a 4 bedded PICU. The environment of this department caters to the requirement of the children - flashy and playful so that the ill child feels fresh and lively. The ward is equipped with ventilators and other ICU types of equipment such as Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP), monitoring devices, infusion pumps, and pulse oxymeters, central oxygen, etc.
