Hi everybody, I would like to ask about the I:E ratio in an HFO-VG setting in case of ELGANs. Do you use an I:E ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 in HFO-VG on the VN800 for ELGANs 22-23 wks below 500g BW? Also would you worry of causing atelectasis using an I:E ratio of 1:2 when the infant is on low MAPs like 8 or 9 cmH2O, Frequency of 12Hz at DOL10 ? -
This is an illustrative example of social inequalities - how breastfeeding rates vary by socioeconomic/-demographic factors in the UK. What do you think about it? My personal thoughts - the neonatal community need to be aware and take this into account when counseling etc, but (IMHO) this boils down political strategies how to overcome societal gaps (so a difficult perspective!) And (again IMHO), this is not UK-specific results, they are probably generalizable to most context (Sweden, for sure!) -
Any experience with a case of A 21 trisomy, with clinical manifestations of transient abnormal myelopoiesis (TAM) but no blasts detected in the blood? Experiencing a case of late preterm, 21 trisomy, IUGR, serologically -ve for HSV, CMV and Parvovirus infections, anemia, hepatomegaly, elevated transaminase by 10 folds, serum T. bilirubin reaching 15 mg / dl and ascites. Did this scenario justify treating with low-dose cytarabine?
