Team members provide coordinated care to families facing rare diagnoses such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), bladder outlet obstruction, twin-to-twin transfusion and myelomeningocele. Specialized interventions provided in our NICU include Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), therapeutic hypothermia, and inhaled nitric oxide.
