[quote=Anonymous]I read the same article you did yesterday - VHC is IIIB and Childrens is IIIC, the highest AAP designation. From the article: Virginia Hospital Center's NICU is a Level 3B and can care for babies at and above 24 weeks gestational age. Approximately 10 percent of babies born at Virginia Hospital Center require NICU care. The medical capabilities of Level 3B include providing a higher level of respiratory support for babies requiring high-frequency ventilation with an oscillator, and providing nitric oxide for babies in need of help to circulate blood with higher levels of oxygen. Babies requiring surgery would be transferred to a medical facility with pediatric surgical specialists and/or subspecialists that best fit the needs of the patient and family.[/quote]
