parents can provide most of the care to their baby in a safe and protected environment.
All expectant parents hope that their baby will be healthy but sometimes problems arise and so their baby will need to be admitted to the Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) for treatment and monitoring. Being born prematurely, having a difficult delivery or postnatal concerns are all reasons a baby may be admitted to our unit.
The SCBU at Great Western Hospital has 18 cots of which 4 are Intensive Care. The unit is a modern, purpose built unit which is divided into two areas, one for babies who are requiring additional support and monitoring, and another room for those babies who are progressing well and where
We are currently raising money to purchase Apnoea Monitors for the SCBU; these are used to monitor the breathing of premature babies. An alarm on the monitor sounds if there’s no breath for a set number of seconds. When the monitor sounds, a nurse immediately checks the baby for signs of distress, and if needs be breathing will be stimulated. In rare instances oxygen will need to be administered with a hand held bag and mask. Each Apnoea Monitor costs £570 and your support would be truly appreciated.
