Inside the NICU: A newborn’s first hours of life 👶
Every baby admitted to the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) goes through important steps to ensure their survival and healthy development. One of the most essential is the heel blood test (newborn screening). With just a few drops of blood from the baby’s tiny heel, doctors can detect metabolic, genetic, and hormonal conditions that may not be visible at birth. Early detection is critical — it allows for timely treatment that can prevent serious complications.
Alongside blood testing, NICU care also involves:
🔹 Medication administration to prevent infection or support vital functions.
🔹 Oxygen therapy and respiratory monitoring for babies who struggle to breathe on their own.
🔹 Breastfeeding and nutrition support, because proper feeding is vital for brain development and growth.
These procedures might seem overwhelming, but each one plays a role in giving newborns the best possible start. NICU care is not just about treatment — it’s about protecting the most fragile lives and guiding them toward recovery. 💙
