A Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a specialized hospital ward that provides intensive medical care for premature or critically ill newborn infants, staffed by neonatologists, neonatal nurses, and respiratory therapists. Care involves monitoring vital functions, managing respiratory support, and providing specialized treatment for conditions related to prematurity or birth complications. Working in a NICU requires specialized training and is a distinct career path within nursing and pediatric medicine.
