FAQs – Paediatrician and Neonatologist in Whitefield & Kadugodi, Bengaluru
What is a neonatologist and when should I consult one?
A neonatologist is a specialist in the care of newborns, particularly premature, critically ill, or high-risk babies. You should consult a neonatologist when your baby is born preterm, has breathing difficulties, low birth weight, jaundice requiring treatment, infections, or any other complex medical condition at birth.
What is a Level 3 NICU and what kind of care does it provide?
A Level 3 NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) provides the highest level of newborn critical care, including mechanical ventilation, surgical support, and management of extremely premature infants and those with life-threatening conditions.
What is therapeutic hypothermia and when is it used in newborns?
Therapeutic hypothermia, or cooling therapy, is a treatment used for newborns who have experienced birth asphyxia or hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE). It involves carefully lowering the baby’s body temperature to reduce brain injury and improve outcomes.
How is neonatal jaundice treated?
Most cases of neonatal jaundice are treated with phototherapy (light therapy). Severe cases may require exchange transfusion. Early identification and monitoring of bilirubin levels are essential for safe management.
What complications are common in premature babies?
Premature babies may face respiratory distress, feeding difficulties, infections, anaemia, brain bleeds, and retinopathy of prematurity, among others. Specialised NICU care helps manage and minimise these complications.
What is a high-risk infant follow-up programme?
It is a structured monitoring programme for premature or medically complex babies after discharge from the NICU, tracking growth, development, vision, hearing, and neurological progress over the first few years of life.
Can general paediatric conditions also be treated alongside neonatal care?
Yes. Dr Srinivasa Murthy C L consults for both neonatal and general paediatric conditions, including fever, infections, respiratory illnesses, growth concerns, and developmental assessments in children of all age groups.
