It would have interesting to know the basis for diagnosing Mild HIE. Was it Sarnat and Sarnat or Thomson and any ABG criteria used

we use a mixture of glycerine and normal saline in a ratio of 1:1 when required. IT has worked well for us.

Great discussion. We are also in a low resource setting in Odisha ,India. We do not have a human milk bank. I have also had to use formula feeds even for some newborns in the wards because of documented borderline sugars. This is especially for prime gravidas and post LSCS mothers. The rationale being it is better to prevent hypoglycemia and its consequences and not be very strict about formula especially in the first 24 hrs. We always give formula after checking blood sugars. "Not enough Milk" is the most common complaint during post natal rounds. Any role of galactagogues and if so which ones in your experience. Any major difference between preterm formula and term formulas as their are cost implications No mother is allowed to buy any formula as per the IMS act. It is always hospital supply.

Great initiative! Will contribute and learn

Could anyone let us know the exact dose of MCT powder(as available here).Any role of oral Coconut oil which is rich in MCT especially in resource poor settings

How does one manage skin of an ELBW baby and till what PMA should it continue

Is there any role of DHA supplements in preterm babies especially ELBW

Thanks for all your inputs. Good to know that there are no strict guidelines. Do you all heparinize these lines especially for ELBW and 25 weeke rs

When an ELBW neonate is on Amino acid infusion what is the upper limit of blood Urea that must be considered before stopping or reducing the amino acid infusion

How long can a Umbilical Artery line and an Umbilical Venous Line be used in an ELBW neonate when PICC line is not available. Various centers follow different protocols. Your views please

We are frequently using this practice all over India with good results

Great job. Is this similar to the Life start trolley being used in UK?

Outcome depends on cause. Just had a a preterm baby with sclerema due to hypothermia. He has recovered with appropriate treatment

Thanks
