In Patient Services
- Last Updated On :
The department has admitting facilities for 35 children in the 6B Ward Pediatric Surgery in Mother and Child Block, 8 neonatal surgical cases in the neonatal surgical ICU (AB-5 ICU) and 4 Emergency beds in Paediatric Surgery (AB-5 Ward). The neonatal surgical ICU is fully equipped with vital signs monitors, conventional neonatal ventilators, high frequency ventilator and other necessary equipment for neonatal care. One senior resident and a junior resident are available round the clock in the ward and one senior resident in the neonatal ICU for patient care and emergency services.
The facilities for routine pre-operative and post-operative care of surgical patients, ventilatory care, parenteral nutrition and chemotherapy are provided by the resident staff. Due to the shortage of staff and the indoor beds, most of the time, only the serious and indexed cases find admissions in the ward. The waiting list is long and may run for years.
The department conducts 2 OTs per day in main Operating Theatre (2 nd Floor – Mother and Child Block). In addition, conducts operations at the extension center in Ballabgarh on Wednesdays.
