Duke Neonatology provides comprehensive care for premature and full-term infants. Neonatologists perform cutting-edge, collaborative clinical services and are leaders in the field of neonatal-perinatal care and research.

Our neonatologists provide care for:

• Critically ill newborns
• Premature infants -- extremely low gestational aged infants
• Complex surgical conditions
• Perinatal asphyxia
• Sepsis and septic shock
• Newborns with congenital malformations
• Respiratory failure in newborns
• Congenital diaphramatic hernia

Special services offered in our nursery include high frequency ventilation, nitric oxide, hypothermia for perinatal asphyxia, and comprehensive neonatal health care. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is available.

In addition, research initiatives include the use of whole body cooling -- as well as use of the infant's own cord blood -- to treat perinatal asphyxia.

Duke neonatologists practice at Duke Children's Hospital & Health Center, Durham Regional Hospital, Alamance Regional Hospital, and Nash Hospital.
