Neonatal Medicine

A neonatologist is a specialized pediatrician who cares for critically ill or premature newborns from birth to 28 days. The provider typically works in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Typical issues that a neonatologist faces are:

• Abnormal lung growth in an infant
• Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (where the infant’s brain is damaged from not getting enough oxygen)
• Immune system infections/sepsis
• Preterm births – before 37 weeks

Our board-certified neonatal pediatricians are well acquainted with sophisticated cases that often involve issues of neglect and malpractice.

Complications include:

• Administration of improper medications in the NICU
• Birth or perinatal asphyxia: not receiving enough oxygen before, during, or after birth
• Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD): lung injuries from newborn respiratory distress
• Cerebral palsy: brain damage from lack of oxygen during injury
• Delayed medical diagnosis/treatment resulting in harm
• Failure to diagnose and treat hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) causing brain injury
• Feeding tube errors: malposition or mismanaged feeding
• Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HE): lack of oxygen or delay in intubation after birth
• Insufficient management of infant medical issues post delivery
• Jaundice mismanagement
• Low birth weight: failure to recognize or treat low birth weight
• Prematurity: infant born three or more weeks before the due date
• Sepsis: serious infections from bacteria, catheters, central lines, or procedures
