Technologies for babies needing resuscitation

As San Diego’s only freestanding women’s hospital, Sharp Mary Birch for Women & Newborns provides outstanding gynecologic procedures for women and exceptional infant deliveries. The hospital is equipped with a Level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), which, among the numerous capabilities of providing support for premature babies, can deliver a full range of respiratory treatment.

Sharp Mary Birch is also a part of Sharp HealthCare’s Neonatal Research Institute, which is led by Dr. Anup Katheria, the director of the program. Dr. Katheria conducts significant clinical trials to discover the best ways to care for newborns.

Among his research, Dr. Katheria has examined the benefits of briefly waiting to cut the umbilical cord (called delayed cord clamping) when a baby is born.

At Sharp Mary Birch, doctors use the LifeStart trolley, which can fit onto various delivery bed sizes, to help keep the newborn close to mom during resuscitation. To monitor the infant’s heart rate, the hospital also has the NeoBeat, which allows doctors to quickly observe the baby’s health using Bluetooth technology.

Dr. Katheria discusses the LifeStart trolley and NeoBeat, which are used as part of Sharp Mary Birch’s efforts to help provide babies the best start at birth.
