Please add - is there a rooe fot exchange transfusion in sckerema

No.we don't

Dear Stefan, i do not have access to that article. Will it be possible to share?Thanks

used it when the response to other drugs is poor. Very useful

How fast is the response you have observed for early intervention for babies who have had some neuological assault like seizure, hypoglycemia? Any articles which prognosticate?

I have seen 2 newborns recently with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. Both of them settled down with diazoxide.How common is the transient form?

Useful chart

i can thankfully remember the help i received during my early career as a neonatologist in a remote town in india. Long live 99nicu

i am an old hand. Now coming back!!

Very much innovative

good questions. we keep our 1000gms-1100 gms babies in the room with the parents and not in nicu after their medical conditions are stabilised . All relatives are taught KMC.

Hello, Here is our observation we made in our nicu about congenital pneumonia. Please go through and if you need any clarification will be happy to give The retrospective study was an unpublished one Neonatal Pneumonia, A major cause of respiratory distress.doc

ONTOP learning from AIIMS will be very good. i am attaching the screen shot of the web page you need to send an e mail to puneet.nagi@yahoo.com

no.Baby didn't have UVC

We recently had a newborn referred with hepatic vein thrombosis. Baby had blood and mucoid stools. The total count was high and hence blood c&s sent and commenced with i v antibiotics.symptoms abated. no organism grown in culture. We were hesitant to start LMW heparin because of diverse opinions.But continued with iv antibiotics. Rpt ultrsound showed developing collaterals. What is the probability that the child will /will not have chronic liver disease. Can LMW Heparin melt away the thrombosis? thanks selvan rathinasamy

Ours is a small unit.i have used paracetamol for ductal closure in babies with low platelets. In one neonate with stage 1 a nnec. Used rectal route. We Were able to tide over the crisis .ductal closure achieved and features of ccf subsided.

In india ,we do not need to get permission to use probiotics. but many neos have reservations in using them though the fears are unfoynded.

Anniversary wishes to all members of 99nicu family

thanks dr.stefan
