The Baylor Scott & White McLane Niños Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) cares for the most fragile, premature and full-term newborns diagnosed with serious or life-threatening conditions.
The NICU, including our Level IV NICU in Temple, is staffed by experienced pediatric specialists called neonatologists. They oversee each child's care and collaborate with other pediatric specialists, such as neurologists, cardiologists and pulmonologists. Specialists monitor these tiny patients around the clock. The most advanced technology supports the fragile infant's breathing and many other life-sustaining measures.
La estancia media de los bebés extremadamente prematuros es de unos tres meses o, por lo general, alrededor de la fecha de parto original.
