- NICU Visitor Restrictions
-
The Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) at Riley Hospital for Children and IU Health Methodist Hospital are putting visitor restrictions in place starting Monday, Nov. 18th. Only visits by parents plus four designated adults identified by the parents will be allowed on the NICU floor.
Siblings and children under 18 will not be permitted. These restrictions minimize risk of infection to patients already at risk and will be in place through spring 2020.
Same-Day Primary Care Appointments.
In a developing fetus, the circulatory system (arteries and veins) and lymphatic system (a system that fights infection) can develop abnormal clusters of blood vessels. These clusters are called vascular (circulatory) anomalies. Vascular anomalies can vary in size and appearance and can be found on the skin or on internal organs. When vascular anomalies involve the skin, they appear as pink, red, blue or purple areas that can be flat or raised.
Many vascular anomalies do not cause problems, but some can grow rapidly, threaten function or result in permanent disfigurement. Although these anomalies develop before birth, sometimes symptoms may not develop until a child is older.
There are many types of vascular anomalies in children. The most common types are infantile hemangiomas and vascular malformations.
Doctors with the Vascular Anomalies Program at Riley at IU Health treat all types of vascular anomalies, including:
- Vascular malformations
- Venous malformations
- Lymphatic malformations
- Capillary malformations/port-wine stains
- Arteriovenous malformations
- Hemangiomas
- Congenital hemangiomas
- Tufted angiomas
- Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma
