NICU Technology

Hospital-reported NICU capabilities

Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO)

Specialist pulmonary vasodilator therapy used for selected newborns with severe hypoxemic respiratory failure associated with PPHN and other clinically appropriate situations.

HFOV / HFO

High-frequency oscillatory ventilation is an advanced invasive respiratory-support mode considered for selected newborns with complex respiratory failure.

Therapeutic hypothermia

Controlled cooling for eligible newborns with moderate-to-severe HIE, following timely specialist assessment and protocol-based monitoring.

aEEG / CFM

Amplitude-integrated EEG/continuous brain-function monitoring provides bedside trends and may aid recognition of abnormal brain activity; when clinically indicated, conventional EEG may still be required.

Other reported support

  • Conventional neonatal ventilators
  • HFNC
  • CPAP
  • Bedside ultrasound
  • Neonatal monitoring
  • Related Level III NICU care
  • Neonatal transport incubator with transport ventilator

Frequently Asked Questions

Does every NICU have HFOV and iNO?

No. The presence of a NICU does not establish that these particular services are available. Ask each hospital directly about current equipment, staffing and consumables.

Does Ayushman Bharat cover newborn and pediatric treatment here?

Eligible PM-JAY beneficiaries can access covered treatments cashlessly, subject to the scheme's package list and approval.

Does your website prove the equipment is ready at this moment?

No. The website describes reported facilities; emergency capability and a bed must be confirmed by the receiving team at the time of referral.

Is aEEG the same as full conventional EEG?

No. aEEG provides a simplified trend of brain activity; it may complement but does not replace full EEG when clinically indicated.

Can babies from Haryana be referred?

Yes, a referring team may contact our Patiala hospital to discuss referral feasibility; emergency readiness and any scheme portability eligibility must be verified.
