Responsibilities of a neonatologist

Before Birth

Neonatologists put their responsibilities in serious situations either before or after birth. If the physician finds any reason to believe that a  pregnancy case includes special problems, such as a known health condition or high risk of prematurity, the doctor will refer their patients to a neonatologist. From that time the role of a neonatologist begins and he advises the parents to deal with their expectations during and after labor and delivery and coordinates with other doctors to provide effective health care to both the mother and the upcoming child. During any high-risk situations, the expected mother is admitted to the hospital under the guidance of a neonatologist. Finally, the neonatologist starts monitoring both the mother and the baby and manages the pregnancy as long as it demands. Every week the pregnant mother is observed with special care and treatment procedures.

During Birth

A premature child is a normally high or low weight and even in some of the critical cases, the delivery becomes more difficult and often placed in a neonatal intensive care unit. The process involves so much risk and provides innovative support by dealing with organs like lungs till the time the immune system continues to develop. In most of the cases related to premature infants, the doctor put their action with lots of experiences as a baby faces breathing issues because their lungs are not properly developing. After applying a suitable treatment method they finally introduce the child with the family. The process still goes on with appropriate and successful care of the infants to reduce any kind of risk and serious health condition. A neonatologist is actively responsible for the birth of a child until the time they grew up.e
