Level III NICU
Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) that has the ability to care for the most complex and severely ill babies. NICUs are categorized into Level I (normal newborn infants only), Level II (moderately ill infants), and Level III. However, the types of infants treated in Level II and Level III NICUs often overlap and are inconsistent from region to region.
This is Children's Glossary of Medical Terms - and much more. You'll find the basic definitions and, for many medical subjects, a larger medical context written by an experienced Children's pediatrician. All the definitions are in an easy-to-print format.
