The premature baby was admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and received treatment for 60-days. In the NICU, due to respiratory immaturity commonly seen in extreme prematurity, the newborn initially required ventilator support, followed by gradual weaning under continuous monitoring.
