Department of newborn

In the neonatal intensive care unit of MC Erebouni, the first days of life are spent by children born from complicated and premature births. The status of the highest, third-level Maternity Clinic providing perinatal care obliges medical staff to always be ready to provide appropriate medical care even in the most difficult cases. 

The department is headed by Professor Pavel Mazmanyan, Consultant on Neonatology at the Ministry of Health of RA.

The neonatal service has created conditions that meet modern standards for providing treatment and care for sick and premature newborns. The management of the medical center purchased the best equipment for intensive care: incubators of Japanese production “Atom Medical "and open resuscitation systems, phototherapy lamps, monitors, artificial lung respiration devices of Swiss and German companies "Hamilton" and "Stepfan", which allow for high-frequency ventilation. The latest device of the German company "Medin" allows you to carry out the entire volume of non-invasive respiratory support, including using high frequency.

The department has adopted the idea of continuous perinatal care, which involves counseling and training of pregnant women before the birth of a child. After discharge from the Maternity Clinic, an outpatient service was also created to monitor children, where children receive medical care. In the new service, parents can also get advice about the features of care, nutrition and development in the first days and weeks of a child's life. The service is also equipped with a sonographic device for studying the brain of children.

It allows you to do neurosonography of the brain in newborns and young children with Doppler. A screening program for hip dysplasia has also been introduced in the Maternity Clinic of MC Erebouni.

Hip dysplasia is congenital, due to improper development of the hip joint and can lead to dislocation of the head of the hip. This problem occurs in 1000 newborns out of 6-7 and requires professional intervention. Early sonographic examination is a necessity, since in case of late detection, a disability may be registered. By the way, a dislocation diagnosed after the third month of life is already considered late.

 For the early detection of dislocations in the hip joint, MC Erebouni has purchased an ultrasound mobile device of the latest generation, on which a screening study of all newborns is carried out.
