Medical365 neonatal records software manages APGAR scoring, phototherapy, TPN infusion calculations & NICU bed monitoring for Indian maternity hospitals.
Neonatal records software is a specialized critical care medical record module engineered for Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU), Special Newborn Care Units (SNCU), and labor room resuscitation teams. It manages immediate delivery room documentation (APGAR scoring at 1, 5, 10 mins), neonatal vital monitoring, total parenteral nutrition (TPN) fluid calculation, phototherapy management using Bhutani nomograms, and newborn genetic screening.
Addressing high-volume OPD congestion, diagnostic fragmentation, and statutory healthcare regulations.
The neonatal period—the first 28 days of life—is the most fragile phase of human survival. India accounts for nearly a quarter of all global neonatal deaths, with prematurity, low birth weight, birth asphyxia, and neonatal sepsis posing severe clinical challenges. In high-volume Indian maternity hospitals and tertiary NICUs, managing sick neonates requires intensive physiological surveillance and micro-precision medication dosing.
In conventional NICU environments, nursing and medical documentation is overwhelming. Staff must maintain multiple paper flowsheets: hourly vitals, ventilator settings, micro-drip infusion rates, blood gas analyses, phototherapy logs, and fluid balance charts. Calculating neonatal Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) fluids (glucose infusion rates in mg/kg/min, amino acids, lipids, and electrolytes) using paper worksheets is slow and carries high risks of electrolyte imbalances or fluid overload.
Medical365's Neonatal Records module unifies newborn care from the labor room through NICU discharge. With automated APGAR recording, computerized TPN fluid calculators, interactive Bhutani hyperbilirubinemia nomograms, and comprehensive discharge summaries, Medical365 elevates clinical safety for the smallest, most vulnerable patients.
Engineered with medical sub-specialists to eliminate manual charting friction and enforce clinical protocol rigor.
Captures 1-minute, 5-minute, and 10-minute APGAR scores (Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, Respiration), gestational Ballard score, and NRP resuscitation steps (bag-mask, chest compressions, intubation).
Automatically calculates total fluid requirements (TFR in ml/kg/day), Glucose Infusion Rate (GIR in mg/kg/min), amino acid titration (TrophAmine), lipid emulsions, and sodium/potassium/calcium additive volumes.
Plots serum total bilirubin against postnatal age in hours on the AAP/Bhutani nomogram, categorizing risk zones and recommending phototherapy vs. exchange transfusion thresholds.
Logs invasive and non-invasive respiratory support parameters (HFOV, CPAP, High-Flow Nasal Cannula), arterial blood gas metrics (pH, pCO2, pO2, HCO3, base deficit), and calculates oxygenation indices (OI).
Tracks congenital hypothyroidism (TSH), G6PD deficiency, CAH screening, and Otoacoustic Emission (OAE) / BERA hearing screening results prior to hospital discharge.
Auto-generates comprehensive NICU discharge summaries detailing birth weight, discharge weight, head ultrasound findings, ROP screening stages, and outpatient follow-up schedules.
High-resolution data flow architecture connecting point-of-care capture, diagnostic instruments, and national health registries.
A transparent 5-stage digital pathway standardizing patient care from initial requisition to longitudinal review.
Pediatrician records APGAR score at birth, weight, head circumference, and cord blood pH in the delivery room.
Neonate admitted to NICU incubator; admission diagnoses, gestational age, and phototherapy orders logged.
Doctor specifies target TFR (e.g. 120 ml/kg/day) and GIR (6 mg/kg/min); system calculates exact infusion rates.
Serum bilirubin is plotted on age-in-hours nomogram; phototherapy duration and irradiance levels are monitored.
Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) eye exam results logged, and structured discharge summary dispatches to parents.
Medical365 Neonatal Records comply with National Neonatology Forum (NNF) India accreditation standards, American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) neonatal care guidelines, and WHO early essential newborn care (EENC) benchmarks.
All neonatal intensive care logs, maternal linkage records, and prescription data are encrypted under AES-256 compliant with the DPDP Act 2023. Newborn health summaries integrate directly with the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM).

Seamless bidirectional data sharing across all hospital clinical departments and diagnostics.
Clinical, technical, and regulatory answers for hospital directors and medical specialists.
The system computes GIR automatically: GIR (mg/kg/min) = [% Dextrose × Infusion Rate (ml/hr)] / [6 × Weight (kg)]. This ensures preterm infants maintain euglycemia without dangerous hypoglycemia or hyperosmolar spikes.
Yes. The module enforces mandatory ROP screening schedules for infants born <34 weeks or <1750g, recording international classification of ROP (Zone I-III, Stage 1-5, Plus disease) and laser photocoagulation treatments.
Yes. Dedicated nursing fields log daily hours of Kangaroo Mother Care (skin-to-skin contact) and weight gain velocity (g/day), promoting evidence-based newborn care.
Medical365 includes a 1-click Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) emergency drug guide based on the infant's birth weight, displaying exact volumes for Epinephrine (1:10,000), normal saline boluses, and Naloxone.
Yes. Hospitals can share daily weight progress charts, feeding milestones, and secure incubator photos with parents via the Medical365 parent mobile app, reducing parental anxiety.
Yes. The newborn's chart is automatically cross-referenced with the mother's obstetric file, providing immediate access to maternal blood group, antenatal steroid administration, and GBS status.
