Education, Organisation & Evaluation

Do you have some guideline in yours department about contraindications of neonatal transport, according to which the child is not able to be transported and it is possible to let the child worthily die on the department where she/he was born?

The WHO has published international recommendations to improve the outcomes of preterm birth. I got to know about this document about a year ago while attending a Preterm Epidemology working group meeting hosted by the WHO. Given the fact that preterm birth is the most important risk factor for infant mortality world-wide, I think this document will be very important, especially for preterm babies born in low-resource settings.

hello every one regarding the initiative from AAP , STABLE program , i know its designed mainly for (pre-transportation/ post resuscitation) of sick infant ..

hi .. i dont know if iam in the right place to post my questions .. my friends .. whenever i come across a critical baby ,and with limitted facility , i feel sad that a lot of babies in my country died without knowing what was the cause ! working in neonate in libya (third world ) is a bit difficult , its annoying to face problems daily with no tools to stand up against them. here : frequently , we are presuming diseases rather than diagnosing them. for example : RDS with no improvment after surfactant , and with no echo technology , we presume PPHN as the main culprit and starting mg-sulphate is the next step (most of the time ). i want to ask : have any one b…

Dear all @ 99NICU I work in a busy level 3 NICU providing all NICU therapies including ECMO. We also provide intensive care treatment to a selected category of pediatrics patients up to 12-24 months in a designated are of the critical care department.

We have been requested to start discussing how we would like a new unit (NICU/special care) to be designed. The new unit should be able to combine facilities for high-end intensive care whi…

In the followup of nicu babies , neurodevelopemental assessment and early intervention have a great role to play in helping the baby.
