Neonatal care at the highest level

Highly qualified and experienced paediatricians specialising in neonatology and paediatric intensive care medicine will take care of your newborn baby. The team consists of experts from the Clinical Department of Neonatology, Paediatric Intensive Care Medicine and Neuropaediatrics at the Vienna University Hospital (AKH). Thanks to the close co-operation with the AKH, your baby will receive the best possible care. The head of this department, Prof. Dr Angelika Berger, MBA, carries out the examinations at the ward in Rudolfinerhaus as a consultant and, together with her team of experienced neonatologists and paediatricians, takes care of your child. This includes the standardised initial examinations after birth. Among other things, the heart, kidneys, hips and neurological reflexes are also examined and tested. And in the event of an emergency, they immediately take important measures: Newborns with adjustment difficulties or requiring monitoring are transferred immediately and risk-free to the General Hospital using a transport incubator. In order not to separate mother and child during this important bonding phase, we also offer mothers a transfer to the AKH.

Anaesthesia always on site

An anaesthetist is on site around the clock. Because he can be an important factor at the birth: For caesarean sections or epidurals – painless births in which the nerve structures in the spinal canal that are responsible for causing pain during birth are anaesthetised. If you would like to know more about this, we offer a pre-anaesthesia consultation with one of our anaesthetists before birth, appointments and registration via the Medical Director’s office on: phone +43 (0)1 36 0 36 6019.

Whether natural birth, epidural or caesarean section: our delivery rooms and caesarean section room are equipped for all birth options – to the most modern and best medical standards. In the event of an emergency, our experienced team of experts will ensure your safety. If you need even more support, our close cooperation with the AKH, namely the University Department of Gynaecology and the University Children’s Hospital, ensures comprehensive further care for mother and child – we coordinate a safe transfer.
