Examination

The very first examination (U1) takes place immediately after birth by the delivery team in the delivery room.

In addition tour team of midwives, nurses and physicians, we can also provide the specialist assistance of the University Paediatric Hospital Köln. Every day there is a paediatric physician from the hospital in attendance in our clinic. This medical supervision is especially popular for us all; with such a close working relationship we have direct contact to the university clinic in case a special problem arises.

After the 36th hour of life, the baby is given a new-born screening in the nursing room. This involves taking a couple of drops of blood from the baby's heel to test whether we can eliminate 10 metabolic disorders as soon as possible.

After the 72nd hour of life, there is the first examination (U2) by paediatric physician Professor Roth or one of his deputies from the university clinic.

Further examinations offered by our clinic:
All parents are offered the possibility of a hearing test or screening which can determine the degree of hearing, which takes place in our nursing room.

The examination is absolutely painless & stress-free to your baby.
