What our customers are saying

"We are in Cloudnine Hospital, Kailash Colony. We had a very good experience here. My wife was suffering from high blood pressure. So, we had to go for a C-section and my son had to be kept in the NICU. When I saw my son, I was worried. But, in the past four days, under the guidance of Dr. Vinay Kumar Rai, he has improved drastically and now we are very confident to take him home. We had a very good stay and we are now going home with a baby with a big smile on our faces. And I suppose we have got lots of friends over here for life now. Thank you"

"My son Tanish was sick so we admitted him to the hospital. Dr. Prasanna treated my son. He is such a nice person. He has a lot of patience to listen to our words and answer all our questions. 1 appreciate his confidence and patience and my son is doing well now. We are getting discharged from the hospital. We are very happy with the service from Cloudnine. I would like to thank Dr. Prasanna and the hospital staff who cooperated very well and treated us. Thank you so much"

*When I was 30 weeks, unexpectedly I had to deliver. Dr. Kishore Kumar had to do my delivery at midnight 12 O'clock. I was here in the hospital for 47 days and my baby was in the NICU for 32 days. All the doctors, including Dr. Nandini, Dr. Girish and Dr. Kishore Kumar were very cooperative and treated the baby very well. They took good care of us. Thank you".

Mrs. Spandana

This is some text inside of a div block.
It was the night of 23rd September 2021.26th week was going on. When Bhumi started feeling mild pains. We ignored it assuming it was cramps and baby kicking inside but slowly the intensity increased it seemed like she was going into labour. We rushed her to the hospital, and she was medicated to relax the uterus but destiny had other things in mind for us. We prayed for healthy babies at week 32 but our time had come, 24th September Bhumi bravely faced the pains and the contractions in the induction ward, Dr.Datar checked her and informed us that she has gone into labour but required C-Section delivery since it was high-risk pregnancy and babies were extreme premature. We were worried and confused since she was in labour whether to go for normal delivery or C Section, but then we had many queries about the health of babies and mother Ultrasound showed the babies at average weight of 800 grams. Then walked in the Hero of the Story. The Saviour. The Warrior. The Angel. Dr. PIYUSH SHAH. He calmly and patiently explained us each and everything and answered all our queries satisfactorily. He said at 26 weeks and 800 grams we have a good chance of survival. We decided for C Delivery. Prayers had started for us since long back Dr. Piyush first time gave his trademark reply "Fingers Crossed". Later in the night she was prepped for the LSCS Operation. We prayed a lot that whole day and then at night around 10.15 pm she was taken inside the OT...We met Dr. Tanushree for the first time just before the operation where she briefed us about few things. Our first Miracle Baby arrived at 11.07 pm Doctor exclaimed "it's a Girl" at 840 grams...I heard the cry and my heart started beating, as the baby was very tiny, she was immediately transferred to the NICU. The Indian Cricket Team may have 5 different coaches but that day I had team of more than 10 -12 personnel to bring our babies in this world, Dhaval got a chance to get a glimpse of the babies, then it was second baby at 11.08 pm "it's a boy" at 780 grams and then at 11.10 pm "it's a girl" at 740 grams, our 3 babies had arrived prematurely but ready to fight, survive, and win the battle. A big thanks to Dr. Piyush for playing the Jain Stotra, Bhaktamar Stotra and Navkar Mahamantra at time of delivery in the Operation Theatre truly obliged to him for that and it was also played 24*7 in the NICU for their whole stay, it was one and first of the many deeds he did for us and many more were to come. The babies were shifted to NICU and they were so tiny that 1 square foot of cloth was sufficient to cover them. That day 24th Night, Dr Piyush and the Team was there with our kids till 4 am and next day he was back at 7 am, he was looking after our kids and we were sleeping peacefully. It was the start of our Roller Coaster Journey of 57 Days which will be etched in our hearts forever. We would daily visit the kids, ups and downs started in the initial days, 2-3 days after admitting in NICU there were issues with the closure of small hole in the heart which was later cured in around 10 days, and slowly their feed and weight started increasing. They were on ventilator (incubated) till 8 days and then on NIV for 7 days and then on CPap for next 30 days. Initially feed was provided through tube inserted through the abdomen and later through the mouth. Dr. Piyush was very supportive and inspiring for Bhumi to give her milk for the kids which boosted their immunity. First time we were informed that one of the kid required blood and plasma, we were very frightened but then later explained that it is normal and not to be worried about. As slowly weight started increasing, we cheered for our babies when they crossed small-small milestones of 1 kg, 1.5 kg, 10ml ,15 ml, 20 ml feeds. We saw our fighter babies pass through each obstacle from Ventilator to NIV to CPap to Free Flow to Normal breathing. Every day they were creating new memories and hopes for us. From the critical care area to normal area to ready for discharge area. It was a tremendous feat for which Dr. Piyush had said that Bhumi is like the Queen of the Chess Game and everything was in her hands . These words were very motivating whenever we were tensed, upset or any ups and downs, he and Dr. Tanushree too motivated us always to stay positive which was very helpful for us. 2-3 times our children were given blood transfusion to maintain the haemoglobin levels. One of our baby was diagnosed with a small blood patch in the brain during the head scan but it was a minor issue and resolved on its own. Then came the day when Bhumi first time took the baby in her hands for KMC it was the day which made her a complete as a mother.it was a satisfying moment for her to hug the child, talk to them, give her warmth, love and all the affection, she truly enjoyed those moments and the small kicking and holding acts done by the kids, later she started taking both the kids for KMC and almost was at the hospital for full day with the kids. She was given proper training of handling the babies by the very helpful NICU Team of sisters which helped her a lot and gave her the courage to confidently handle the babies. Later on the kids also underwent ROP (Eye Scan) and one of the baby had reached Stage 2 of ROP, again that time Dr Piyush told us not to worry unless I call you, the baby required Laser Treatment which was very well handled by Dr Rohit and NICU Team. After numerous x-rays, eye check-ups, blood reports, anti-biotics, sonography, medicines, breathing support our babies made it out of the NICU totally healthy, safe and sound, and there were tears of joy in our hands when we took babies in our hand. The surreal feeling cannot be described. The Nurse Team and the Mausi team took great care of our kids Day and Night. On our every visit to the NICU we had observed all sisters extremely alert, highly disciplined and professional in approach, they work untiringly for all the kids and took equal care of all the kids, hats-off to each one of them for and big thanks for everything. Today we understand when we are writing this feedback around 20 days after discharge when we are with the kids how much efforts go in this thing. The care team lead by Dr Piyush made it very easy for us for the future, trained us well to take care of such small, pre matured babies after discharge, to feed them, change nappies, giving meds through droppers each and every minute thing was conveyed to us. All the credit goes to Dr Piyush, Dr Tanushree, On Call Doctors Dr Farah, Dr Nidhi, Dr Kaustubh, Dr Deepa, Dr Ankush, The Nurse Army (the true caretakers of our babies) Neha Sister, Ashita S, Bincy S, Sonali S, Deepti S, Amala S, Nikita S, Elena S, Diksha S, Pooja S, Rashmi S, Ankita S, Gincy S and Josmi S. Also thanks to all the 3 mausi - Anu, Farzana and Shabnam for all their untiring services for the kids. Our family thanks them for everything and are truly obliged to them.

Benefits for Tummy Time in Babies | Dr. Seema Gaonkar
Tummy time for the baby means you are putting the baby on tummy. So what does it mean? Your baby is most of the time sleeping on the back when the baby is born and that is a natural position for most of the babies. When you put the baby on the tummy with supervision which kind of exercise for the baby what you're going to do and it is advised by the doctors also. When is it advised? It is advised usually after the neonatal period that is around 20 to 30 days of life. In fact a newborn also can be done but since they are very tender, vulnerable we don't advise it. After two to three weeks of time usually we advise the mothers to do some tummy timing for the baby till they want the baby to be done. Some babies are happy to do it after four to six months, some babies don't do they start doing other activities, they don't sit for it. So what is Tummy Time done? Tummy time means you put the baby on the tummy with face or chin should be lifted up so that the baby should not be hitting on the floor and the mother should be or anybody attender should be supervising the baby so that baby doesn't get you know any discomfort with that. Ideally it should be done not on full tummy. It should be done at least after baby is fed for 40-45 minutes so that the vomiting hazards also or choking hazards also are prevented. Why is it Tummy Time done? Tummy time is mainly done one is because it helps for the baby to get into the next developmental milestones like rolling or turning to one side or the both the sides. It helps the neck muscles to grow because as they grow around two months, three months their neck muscles will be developing more so their head control will be starting. So this position will help them to get the tone of these muscles of the neck, face and the back and also it helps them to get away from the colic. Colic is something which happens in babies over second to third week of time that is when they produce lot of gas in their tummy. So when you put them for tummy time that also helps them to relieve the gas. It acts like a burping method for them to be happy on that. There are babies who are very happy on tummy time there are babies who don't like tummy time. How much time you can do? It is like two to three times in a day also you can do start with once a day for initially begin with three minutes or two minutes and slowly increase the time and the number of times you do it as your baby enjoys. It should be done on a firm surface but important thing is somebody should be supervising the baby when the baby is doing the tummy time but it is really beneficial for their neck muscle
Bulging and Sunken fontanelle in newborn. What does it mean | Dr. Seema Gaonkar
Bulging and Sunken fontanelle in newborn. What does it mean? Causes, Diagnosis, and when to see the doctor? - Dr. Seema Gaonkar
Soft spots on Newborn Baby Head | Fontanelle -Dr. Seema Gaonkar
So soft spots on the baby head. Basically these soft spots are called as fontanelle in medical language. They are actually not soft spots they have their firm scalp layer but they are basically the areas in between the skull bones. Skull bone is not a single bone it is a multiple bones which are communicating and those bones in between those bones you will have this soft spots. So why are they there? Because you know when they're born their brain is not completely grown and when they come from the mother's pelvis it's a hard bony structure with some soft structures when baby has to come out through that narrow passage they have to negotiate, the head has to negotiate the head being the hard part and the big part it has to negotiate negotiation means it has to you know mold. When they have to mold obviously it has to be open if like an adult head all the sutures all these skull bones are fixed then it can't be able to mold or overlap on one another. So to do that molding first thing is the sutures are not closed and there are in between soft spots so that when the baby comes out easily molds and baby comes out and slowly those sutures again open up. Second important reason why these soft spots are there is because when the baby is growing, when the babies come out the head size is quite less compared to an adult head size. It's around 33 to 36 centimeters so it has to grow to almost 15 centimeters more in a size going for the adult head. So the brain growth has to happen in next two to two and a half years. So for the brain to grow it needs space otherwise if all the sutures are closed the brain can't grow. Correct? So the brain has no space and the skull will have abnormal shape. So that is why this nature has made like there are some spots soft spots what you see and there are sutures which are not at closed and they are just having some fibrous closure or fibrous structures in between. So as and when the head grows they will be giving space for it to grow. Later when the brain growth is almost complete these structures will slowly slowly slowly close and will become the permanent one vault of the skull. That is why these soft spots are there. Now are these soft spots too delicate? No, they are not delicate. Soft spots though they feel delicate for the parents they have their own thick membrane of scalp structures. If you touch them gently or you know you massage the head there won't be any damage to the baby. So there is no harm in doing any of these activities with the baby and what is the significance of them other than you know just growth of the brain or anything? What they matter is also they tell us that if they are not closed you know they have to close in certain age you know. So when they're closing? There are two basic head spots that is front is called as Anterior Fontanelle, back is called as Posterior. Actually there are other spots also on the sides but the significant are these two. So the posterior one can close anywhere from birth to three months and the front one which can close from one and a half years to maximum of two years. Ideally it should close by one and half years. So what if they don't close? Usually if they don't close there are certain reasons for it like one is thyroid problems what you say hypothyroidism, some some genetic problem like down syndromes or some babies with rickets where there's Vitamin D deficiency in those babies especially the Anterior Fontanelle may not close at the particular time. In some babies it may close very fast so that the brain growth also it won't give the time for the compartment to increase like in hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism and there is a condition called as craniosynostosis where there is a premature closure of these sutures happen so that the brain is not getting space to you know grow only. So the head size will go in a variation size it won't grow in a round shape what an adult size so either it goes longitudinally or on the back so abnormal shapes of the head also can come because of early closures of the or yet birth only closures of the sutures and the soft spots. That's the significance of these soft spots.
Autism Spectrum Disorder in Newborn Babies | Dr. Seema Gaonkar
Autism actually now we tell it as autism spectrum disorders that is ASD. It is kind of very devastating thing for a parent to have because this could be a lifelong problem but the early detections, early management definitely helps for it. What it is? Autism is actually a developmental disorder in which the baby usually from the toddler age itself after one year or one and half year you'll see that there is some amount of deviation from the normal development, normal behavior, normal emotional quotient. All these things are seen in a baby with the autism. Is it a genetic disorder? Yes it has certain genetic connections. There are some genetic mutations which happen but most of the time cause is unknown. In the same family there are many children only one child could be autistic but there is a risk of second child also becoming autistic. So it has plus minus genetic relations happening but what does the child affected with? Usually in the autistic child the development one is obviously the milestones get delayed or the milestones which they already had attained during their first year of life will become you know diminishing, they start vanishing, the child who started to speak something like Amma or Appa has certainly stopped or a child who started to stand up with the support or something suddenly stop standing up and sits and starts worsening, regression of milestones what we say that can happen or they may never get those milestones at all. It is not only about the development they are also emotionally having lot of other things. They suddenly become too sensitive for small things and they don't show any sensitivity for some things like if the mother has got some fire on their fingers and she suddenly reacts that baby has no reaction if it's like having that autistic spectrum disorder. They also have other things mainly the social problems like they can't interact, they don't make the eye contacts and they will try to be away from the people the gathering they get very irritated or suddenly they become show sudden reactions when lot of people come unknown people come and sometimes when the people are of their age the toddlers are there they will not be able to communicate with them they will have some adjustment problems or they don't just communicate with them and they don't take turns like we see in kids when they play they do one thing and the next person will wait for the turn they don't wait for the turn they don't know that they need to wait for the turn. So such social you know interaction, social communications that also will be difficult for them. Also they will have certain repetitive behaviors either finger movements or you know twitching of the mouth or sometimes they'll be doing the same work again and again and again and again same cubes they're putting removing but if you restrict from there they get very violent with that sudden violent behavior. So many things are there actually it's a big chapter Autism is a big chapter. So in general they behave they have emotionally different they have socially little different disconnections they are developmentally delay, their speech may delay all these things and usually as the this question states like it's neonate there's nothing like autism in a neonate. You can't figure out autism in the neonate. This usually to the maximum you may be able to figure out before one year nine months to you know one year but definitely we can figure it out before 18 months. Ideal time is at least by one year to 15 months. So that time you can figure it out. 18 months definitely you should figure it out so that you can do early interventions. The later it is you know diagnosed or later it is figured out the later the interventions the damage done is more and how do you diagnose it? How do you diagnose? It it's not like some blood test you can do and diagnose Autism. It's not so easy and many of the times the busy OPD practices doctors have no time or they don't have sensitivity enough to ask questions but we should at least ask the questions basic questions like whether a baby has attained the milestones, how is the social interactions, how is the emotional reactions. Most of the times parents themselves come up with the problems but that may take three years four years sometimes after they go to school or something. So when they are in that six months to one and a half year window period itself some checklists are there.

Frequently Asked Questions & Answers

What is an intensive care unit?
An intensive care unit (ICU) is a specially designated hospital section where patients with severe illness or injury are kept. It is also called a critical care unit. A team of professionals delivers treatment who also track the patient around the clock and treat him or her. ICU personnel are specially equipped to use several advanced medical equipment to better track and treat the patients.
What is the difference between emergency medicine and Intensive care?
The long-term treatment of people who have a disease that affects their lives is carried out in intensive care whereas short-term care of such patients happens in emergency medicine. Doctors and nurses recover patients in the emergency room and then transport them for further treatment to the intensive care unit (ICU) or another hospital section.
What kind of medical treatment takes place in the ICU?
Patients are severely sick in the ICU. They are also connected to many monitors that allow healthcare professionals to track their vital signs on a minute-to-minute basis. Patients also have intravenous tubes (IVs) in their arms and legs so that drugs and fluids can be pumped straight into their veins. A tube is also put inside the body to remove and collect urine. Equipment such as breathing machines or dialysis machines are also connected to life support machines.
What does Cloudnine offer?
Cloudnine centers are configured with an Adult High Dependency Unit and a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, certified as the highest intensive care level by the National Neonatology Forum.
Is it possible to visit a member of my family or a friend who is in the ICU?
Yes, Family members can visit. It is essential to be part of the healing process for the family. The involvement of loved ones will encourage the patient. Privacy is maintained, noise and infections are managed. Also, there is a time limit as the patient needs time to rest. Sleep is also very necessary.
In the ICU, what kinds of medical problems are treated?
We treat patients in the ICU for several reasons. Shock, respiratory failure, and sepsis are the most common ones.
What does shock mean?
Shock is a situation in which vital organs don’t get enough oxygen because of low blood pressure. Many medical conditions, such as heart attacks, significant blood loss, severe trauma, or sepsis, can cause shock.
What is respiratory failure?
Respiratory failure results in dangerously low levels of oxygen or dangerously high levels of a waste gas called carbon dioxide. Lung conditions like pneumonia, emphysema, or smoke inhalation may result in respiratory failure. Diseases affecting the nerves and muscles that regulate breathing, such as drug and alcohol overdoses, can also cause respiratory failure.
When in the ICU, why should a patient be restrained?
Sometimes, disease or accident causes disorientation, confusion, or agitation in patients. We must be worried about protection when this happens. You may find restraints on the hands, ankles, or elsewhere of a patient. This ensures that patients do not pull on the equipment such as IV lines or tubes, or attempt to get out of bed while they are too sick to walk alone.
