One of the most pressing concerns in the NICU is the risk of infection. At NEOwell, we are deeply aware of how vulnerable these little ones are, and we take every precaution to ensure their safety.

In the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), we care for the tiniest and most fragile patients, many of whom need intensive, long-term care. For these newborns, every detail of their care matters, and one of the most important tools in this process is the PICC line (peripherally inserted central catheter).

When your newborn requires a stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), it can be an overwhelming experience for the entire family. While much of your attention is focused on your fragile infant, your older children also need reassurance and support during this difficult time.

If your baby still needs oxygen support after discharge, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed. However, with the right information and preparation, you can confidently care for your baby’s oxygen needs at home.
