This image provides a glimpse into the incredible care provided in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). It illustrates the various medical equipment often used to support the tiniest and most vulnerable patients - our newborns who need extra help.
Here we see an infant receiving comprehensive care, including an overhead warmer to maintain their body temperature, and bilirubin lights, often used to treat jaundice. The baby is connected to a ventilator to assist with breathing, and an ECG and blood pressure monitor to keep a close watch on their vital signs. An oxygen saturation monitor ensures their oxygen levels are stable, while IV pumps deliver essential fluids and medications.
You can also spot a feeding tube, used when babies aren't yet strong enough to feed orally, and an umbilical artery catheter, which allows for blood draws and medication administration.
This setup, while complex, is designed to give these precious little ones the best possible start.
It's a testament to the dedication of NICU nurses, doctors, and specialists who work tirelessly to care for these fragile fighters. Understanding what goes on in the NICU can provide comfort and information to families navigating this challenging journey.

Atreyu was named after the hero character in the 1984 classic The NeverEnding Story.

Tragically, Atreyu’s story ended long before it should have.

When I first met McCann, it was just days after Atreyu had died. She was a broken woman. Her eyes were red, her face pale, as she climbed out of her friend’s car at the place she wanted to talk — Atreyu’s favourite surf spot. Read more… https://7news.com.au/news/insi....de-australias-school
