so interesting to screen all well babies with pulse oximetry .... i am working in quite busy unit and unfortunately ,sometimes, babies are discharged earlier than 24 hours..a questionable realability of such screening!!!!!! second, we have noted many well babies with structurally normal hearts( by echo.) and still have sat. difference between upper and lower limbs more than the -the recommended 3 % difference- again neonates with complex ht. disease and no significant sat. difference.....although we are using sensetive masimo devices.... i am afraid our colleagues in cardiac service will suffer alot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have posted similar photo of one baby with Waardenburg syndrome .on image library. but our patient failed ABR

We have tried most of treatment modalities in a resistant case of PPHN-including iNO,sildenafil,inotropic support,PG,and eventually iloprost-aerosolized form-....it worked well on conventional dragger 8000 but unfortunately DID NOT on sensormedics.....a technical diffculty-I guess-because of different flow rate.. could you tell me your experience of using iloprost with sensormedics!!! thanks. atef

I do believe that teaching ,educational videos are of great help to all practitioners ...as much as image library is useful,interesting,and challenging tool...a video library at 99nicu will be a valuable enriching window to all of us. what do you think?!!! Atef.
