The team is supported by specialized equipment necessary for maintaining the life and health of prematurely born children and newborns with illnesses and disabilities, including incubators, ventilators, positive pressure airway devices, neonatal monitors, infusion pumps, phototherapy lamps for neonatal jaundice, a “RetCam” device for diagnosing retinopathy of prematurity, blood bilirubin measurement devices, hearing screening devices, specialized chairs for “kangaroo care,” and more. There is also a pediatric diagnostic ultrasound system, a modern incubator, and a neonatal ventilator. The ultrasound system allows for echographic examination of newborns to diagnose cardiovascular, digestive, and urinary systems, as well as transfontanellar imaging of the central nervous system. The neonatal ventilator is vital for the primary resuscitation of premature infants in critical condition who require ventilation.
