Neonatal
medicine is concerned with the care of critically ill newborn and premature
infants. Neonatologists diagnose and treat newborns with conditions such as
breathing disorders, infections, or birth defects; coordinate care and
medically manage newborns born prematurely, critically ill, or in need of
surgery; stabilize and treat newborns with any life-threatening medical
problems; attend a delivery after which the infant may require medical intervention;
and consult with obstetricians, pediatricians,
and family physicians about conditions affecting newborn infants and caring for
mothers who have high-risk pregnancies. Neonatologists work
mainly in the special care nurseries or newborn intensive care units of
hospitals, primarily children's hospitals, university medical centers, and
large community hospitals. In addition, a neonatologist may provide short-term
care on an outpatient basis after the infant has been discharged from the unit.
