The continuous positive airway pressure apparatus is another type of equipment that can help your baby breathe. This device provides a continuous flow of air into the lungs and helps to keep the airway open. Air enters through a mask or tube that is installed in the nose of the baby.

The baby can also get extra oxygen through a mask or nasal cannula.

nutrition needed for your baby may be inserted into the baby’s vein. The tube may also be placed in the area of the artery for monitoring blood pressure, levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood.

If the baby is not yet ready to eat from its mother's breast or bottle, a gastronomic tube delivers milk directly into the baby's stomach. The nurse gently inserts through the mouth or nose of the baby a soft, flexible tube into the stomach.

Many newborn babies develop jaundice. Their skin is yellow, because a substance called bilirubin is produced faster than the baby’s body can output it. Under the influence of such rays, bilirubin generated in the baby's body is converted into a harmless substance until the baby is able to do it by itself. With the help of phototherapy, bilirubin takes the form which is much faster excreted from the body. During this procedure, the child is exposed to phototherapy lights, a special mask services as eye protection.
