The Special Care Unit
At first glance, special care units clad with tiny immature infants,
all hooked up to special monitoring
devices, can come as quite a shock to parents, especially if your
baby happens to be one of the babies in care. An intensive care
unit, caters for the needs of sick and pre-term infants alike, with
each receiving the best in medical care. Those who are unable to
feed themselves, are attached to appropriate nourishment giving
devices, and their temperature monitored through placing them in
incubators. As the baby gradually makes progress, she will be moved
out of the incubator, but will still need the ultimate in care so
will be left in the special care unit until the hospital staff feel
she is ready to cope in the normal baby ward.
