Neonatology

Neonatology is a medical specialty focused on the care of newborns, particularly those born prematurely or with medical issues, with neonatologists often involved in prenatal care for high-risk pregnancies or when health concerns are identified before birth.

A neonatologist provides specialized care for newborns with serious illnesses or birth disorders, working with obstetricians to ensure proper medical care at birth, and is involved in diagnosing and treating conditions, managing care and surgery, ordering tests like X-rays or EKGs, ensuring nutritional needs are met, assisting in delivery when necessary, and offering support to families during a baby’s NICU stay.

They perform medical tests and procedures including:

•    respiratory support

•    nutritional therapy and feeding assistance

•    brain activity monitoring (EEG)

•    heart function monitoring (EKG)

•    extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)

•    hearing assessments

Neonatologists care for newborns with a variety of conditions, such as complications from premature birth, breathing difficulties, metabolic or seizure disorders, meconium aspiration, and congenital issues like spina bifida, myelomeningocele, or omphalocele.

Reasons one should consult a neonatologist include:

•    High-risk pregnancy

•    Increased likelihood of premature birth

•    Fetal diagnosis of a congenital disorder

•    Premature birth

•    Injury to the baby during delivery

•    Baby born with an infection or illness
