Sri Karishna Children Hospital, Una is a trusted center dedicated exclusively to the health and well-being of infants, children, and adolescents.
When newborns — especially premature or medically fragile infants — have difficulty breathing on their own, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) becomes an essential respiratory support tool. At Sri Krishna Children Hospital, Una, provision for respiratory support including CPAP is part of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) services, helping babies breathe more easily and stay stable while their lungs mature and strengthen.
CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure — a non-invasive form of respiratory support that gently pushes air into a baby’s lungs at a constant pressure to:
Keep the airways open
Improve oxygen intake
Reduce effort in breathing
It’s most often used for newborns with respiratory distress, premature babies, or infants whose lungs aren’t fully developed yet. CPAP supports spontaneous breathing — meaning the baby still initiates breaths but with aid from the system. This helps stabilize breathing without the invasiveness of full mechanical ventilation.
The NICU at Sri Krishna Children Hospital is equipped to manage babies who need advanced respiratory care. This includes:
CPAP therapy to help infants with breathing difficulty
Oxygen delivery with careful monitoring of saturation and respiratory effort
Support integrated with continuous vital sign monitoring
Staffed by trained neonatal specialists and nurses who adjust respiratory support based on the baby’s evolving needs
While specific details on every model of neonatal equipment at this exact location aren’t widely published, the hospital’s NICU listing includes respiratory support like mechanical ventilation and CPAP as part of its neonatal care services — which is standard for NICU units handling high-risk infants.
