Programs and Services
Physicians with the Division of Allergy and Immunology offer services for the management of allergic disorders as well as for those with immunologic disorders.
Audiologists in the Division of Audiology at Cincinnati Children’s provide newborn hearing screenings to infants admitted to the NICU. An auditory brainstem response (ABR) hearing screening is completed in about 10 minutes while the infant sleeps. A small earphone and three electrodes are utilized to stimulate and monitor the hearing nerve. This screening rules out any significant degree of hearing loss; it does not rule out a mild or progressive hearing loss.
The Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) Center offers compassionate, expert care to infants diagnosed with BPD, also known as chronic lung disease in premature infants.
The Heart Institute cardiology experts deliver the highest quality of care for our newborns.
Specialists provide sibling support and education materials to facilitate transition to home. Child Life specialists also provide materials to support a developmentally appropriate environment for newborns.
