At Sri Krishna Children Hospital in Una, Himachal Pradesh, advanced ventilatory support is part of the hospital’s critical care infrastructure — especially within its Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). These services are essential for children and newborns who are unable to breathe adequately on their own due to serious illness, premature birth complications, respiratory failure, or other critical health conditions.
Ventilatory support refers to medical assistance that helps patients breathe when their lungs are not functioning well enough by themselves. This can range from non-invasive respiratory support (like CPAP) to invasive mechanical ventilation through an endotracheal tube. It ensures that:
Oxygen levels remain stable
Carbon dioxide is removed efficiently
The work of breathing is reduced
This support is vital in critical care settings where a child’s respiratory system is compromised.
Sri Krishna Children Hospital’s NICU and PICU are equipped to provide ventilatory support as part of comprehensive critical care. Here’s how this works in practice:
Mechanical ventilation is available for newborns with severe respiratory distress who cannot maintain adequate breathing on their own.
The NICU team uses specialized ventilators designed for delicate neonatal lungs to deliver safe, controlled breathing support.
This is often needed for premature infants, low birth weight babies, or infants with lung immaturity or severe infections.
We provide Pediatric OPD, NICU (Newborn Care Unit), indoor admissions, emergency pediatric care, vaccination services, child growth monitoring, insurance & TPA support, and Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) services.
