Hi everyone, I have a question about taking blood out of a arterial line by children under 26 weeks of age; - how many seconds does everybody take to get blood out of the line by these children and how many seconds do you take to put the heparine back. - Is there some literature about damiging the brain when you flush to fast (to put the heparine back)? - Does everybody flush by hand or do you use a device to flush? Hope that you can help. Greetings from the Netherlands

Hi! I am curious to know which apps you use in your clinical (or academic) work, on your smartphones and/or ipads. My favourites are: Evernote (for passwords, memos) Pubmed on tap Tapatalk (for browsing 99nicu ) Medcalc (for calculating a/A-ratios) Eponyms (quick ref for syndromes) Pediatrics (great journal app!)
