Level II Neonatal Intensive Care Nursery

In addition to well-baby postpartum care, Sutter Delta’s birthing unit is home to a state-of-the art Level II neonatal intensive care nursery (NICU) for newborns who need a higher level of care, allowing mom and baby to stay together without having to transfer the newborn to another facility. Newborns who were born too early and/or have respiratory issues, feeding issues, dehydration or illness may need this higher level of specialty care.

Services provided in the NICU include:

• Infant withdrawal support
• Newborn respiratory distress care, including treatment for transient tachypnea (a lung condition in premature infants that can cause breathing difficulty)
• Newborn feeding intolerance care
• Newborn sepsis (bacterial infection) care
• Pediatric ultrasound and X-ray
