Can Incubators, NICU increase the survival rate of baby born at 7 or 8 months? I Dr. Piyush Jain

Babies born at 7th or 8th month of gestation are called as preterm babies and they have a very specific requirement for their survival. They require an infection free area, a noise free area, warm area. So the need for incubator is very much for these preterm babies. Incubator is basically a closed chamber, where we can modulate the temperature and humidity of these chambers so that the baby feels that they are still in the mother’s womb, which is very important for their growth and development and also it prevents infection to these babies and NICU, as we all know, is neonatal ICU, where we have the trained nurses, and trained doctors round the clock available who takes special care of these premature babies. So yes, we require very well developed NICU and good incubators for proper management of the premature babies who are born before their proper developmental age that is before that is 40 weeks. So premature babies born before their 40 weeks completion is called as premature babies which requires specialized care in their level 3 NICU. So NICU is a place where we have to give proper care with the availability of trained nurses, round the clock availability of resident doctors and they require an infection free environment, proper warmth, which is possible only in an incubator. So once we keep in this incubator, babies get proper warmth, infection free area and they grow well. Definitely presence of good level 3 NICU adds to their survival. At Cloudnine Hospital Vashi, we have a level 3 NICU, where we have facilities of ventilators, CPAP machines, and incubators where we can manage preterm babies as low as 24 to 25 weeks of gestation, and so far we have managed many babies and the survival rates are pretty good as compared to the well developed NICU’s in any western countries.
