Neonatologists :
Neonatologists specialize in providing required treatment for newborn infants. Neonatologists take care of prematurely delivered babies and infants suffering with a wide range of illnesses. Neonatologists generally operate in NICU or Neonatal intensive care units that specifically cater to the delicate health of infants. They provide support for respiratory difficulties with oxygen therapy and ventilator support. Another important aspect that Neonatologists work with is providing necessary nutrition to the infants. New born babies often require special feeding tubes or intravenous supplementation to ensure that the nutritional requirements are being met. As the immune system of the babies is not completely developed, Neonatologists ensure that the children are in sterile environment. This protects them form infectious diseases. Jaundice is a common disease in premature infants and Neonatologists use medications and light therapies for treatment. Neonatologists continuously monitor the vitals of the admitted children via heart rate monitors and blood pressure machines in care of heart diseases
