(Image1)There are a number of
things that technology is used
for in healthcare. One in
particular is to improve the
health of infants in the NICU.
There are many premature and
sick infants that come into this
world every day, but with the
use of technology some may
actually have a chance. In my
slideshow my main point is to
help others understand the
importance of technology when
it comes to the care of these
unfortunate infants. According
to Neonatal Care,
Approximately 520,000 babies
are born prematurely in the
United States each year.

(Image 2 )According to NICU,
Neonatology is explained to be a
specialty of pediatric medicine that
provides care for sick or premature
infants. Infants less than one month
old are often referred to as
"neonates." These neonates can be
born as early as twenty-four weeks
development (five months of
pregnancy) and spend several
months in the NICU. (Image 3)The
NICU is a highly technical
specialized unit in a hospital that
provides medical and nursing care to
support to sick and/or high-risk
premature infants.

(Image4)Premature infants are
the largest group of infants who
require this high-tech
(Research that Changes Lives, 2008)
environment to survive. Most
preterm infants stay in the
NICU until their due date. If a

child was born six weeks early,
parents can expect that their
child will be in the NICU for six
weeks. (Image 5)The NICU
often becomes a second home
for many families, where
parents spend many hours
each day with their infants. For
the most part, these tiny infants
must learn to breathe and grow
before they can go home.

(Image 6)To better support
these vulnerable infants there
has been many advancements
in technology. These
advancements have greatly
influenced the ability of
medical personnel to support
infants in the NICU.

(Image 7)In conclusion, Technology has a
great effect on how efficiently infants get
better in neonatal intensive care unit. These
devices save infants lives every day, while
some unfortunately cannot be saved.
Without the nurses to care and nourish and
the technology used to heal the infants most
of these poor babies will be out of luck.
(Image 8) According to NICU, there are
many different kinds of technology in the
NICU, including different types of infant
ventilators, monitors, and supportive devices.
Even though this equipment has become
more responsive to the needs of the infants,
(Melissa George, 2011)
there is still a lot that that scientific and
medical communities can learn about the

use of technology to support neonates.
