“The 99nicu Meetup:The Future of Neonatal Care” has concluded, and as the 99nicu Team wraps up our post-meetup tasks, one of the most challenging was selecting the best poster from the Poster Session. I must admit, it was no easy feat. Listening to the presentations during the 99nicu Meetup, I couldn't help but ponder: What will the real future of neonatal care be? Will it be driven by new technologies, AI-based diagnostic algorithms, novel monitoring devices, or perhaps new applications of "old" drugs? Surprisingly, the future of neonatal care might be less futuristic than I naively expected. Regardless of new technologies, it seems that the cornerstone of effective neonatal care will remain rooted in honing our soft skills- communication, empathy, collaboration and active listening. As we navigate the future of neonatal care, stepping out of our comfort zones becomes imperative. As we strive to push the boundaries of neonatal care, we need to remember that our efforts ultimately aim to benefit families and their precious infants- and we need to learn to listen to their needs, sometimes help them to ask the right questions, and empower them to truly become parents while still in the NICU. These soft skills need to be utilized not only while communicating with parents, but also within healthcare-providing teams. Innovation often involves navigating a winding and bumpy path, and it's crucial to support those leading the charge. In this journey toward progress, let's stand united in supporting our colleagues, movers-and-shakers, out-of-the-box thinkers. Pushing boundaries isn't easy, especially when faced with resistance from all sides. We could all benefit from a kinder and more supportive work environment. With this longish intro, I would like to announce that the winner of the Best Poster Award is dr Roser Porta from Spain, who presented “Artificial Intelligence in the survival prediction of preterm newborns at the limits of viability in Spain”. We congratulate you for your work within this project and wish you further success in your AI-powered journey towards the Future of Neonatal Care!

The purpose of this workshop is to increase the skills on the use of NAVA ventilation and lung ultrasound (LUS) in the NICUs. This is the first time we combine both modalities to offer the participants two new ways to enlarge their treatment and diagnosis options. Some previous experience and theoretical knowledge of NAVA and LUS as well as suitable equipment is of advantage (Servo-i or Servo-n ventilators, US machine with a LUS compatible probe). The workshop will focus on - interpretation of the Edi signal - interpretation of LUS findings - utilization of the monitoring capabilities - making a diagnosis using LUS - individualization of the treatment - implementation of LUS in the NICU - implementation of NAVA in the NICU We aim to get together a group of NAVA and LUS users at the same level of experience. We encourage you to participate as a team of both doctor and nurse participants. The course includes both theory sessions and bedside teaching with the patients on NAVA ventilation in the NICU. LUS examinations will also be performed with NICU patients. Each participant is invited to present a patient case which has a teaching point on either NAVA or LUS. TIME AND PLACE The course will be held in September 19-20, 2024 in Turku, Finland by Dr Hanna Soukka, Professor Liisa Lehtonen, Dr Frank Fuchs and Dr Nadya Yousef at the Turku University Hospital. REGISTRATION AND ACCOMODATION You can apply for the course by contacting Hanna Soukka at hanna.soukka@utu.fi. The registration fee is 800 € + taxes including the lunches and refreshments during the workshop. The participants are responsible to arrange their travelling and accommodation by themselves at their own expense. For more information, contact Dr Hanna Soukka, hanna.soukka@utu.fi Turku University Hospital Majakkasairaala, Savitehtaankatu 5 Lecture hall Bengtskär, 3rd floor Turku NAVA 2024.pdf -
I heard a fantastic talk in a recent conference by dr Ryo Itoshima from Nagano Children's Hospital in Japan. He shared plenty of insights into their practice (eg. prophylactic antifungal medicine, does anybody practice it?), and shared this manual of Neonatal Research Network of Japan describing handling of infants born <28 weeks of GA: https://plaza.umin.ac.jp/nrndata/pdf/NICUManual.pdf It's freely available online, almost 100 pages of knowledge Enjoy!

What a wonderful topic! Thank you for bringing our attention to this! When you say "network", I'm immediately thinking about the Vermont-Oxford Neonatal Network, Canadian Neonatal Network and iNeo network. I recently had an opportunity to listen to prof Prakesh Shah lecture on the role of the Canadian Neonatal Network in improving the quality of care in Canadian NICUs, so my first step would be to look into their publications. http://www.canadianneonatalnetwork.org/portal/CNNHome/Publications.aspx

Although it's something we have discussed many times, I want to say again- I'm truly sorry that Twitter has become THIS place. You @Stefan Johansson were the one who introduced me to Twitter. I have observed and admired the way you interact with people there- with respect and curiosity, and it made me want to be more active there too. I hope we can have these spontaneous-but-clinically-relevant-and-evidence-based interactions also here in our 99nicu.org space. ❤️

Such a nice overview of the situation!!!! Thanks @Gustaf Lernfelt for the work you put into this topic!!!

Will it be recorded? Neobiomics also hosts a webinar tomorrow, and I think the timing collides Would love to see this one too though!

Hi, I found this one paper: Platelet Transfusions in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0095510815000391?via%3Dihub they address also requirements before surgery, but they acknowledge lacking data for preterm infants. The paper is from 2015. While looking for something newer, I created a ResearchRabbit network of papers, you can check it out here: https://www.researchrabbitapp.com/collection/public/0LJWEY98ZW When you click "Later work", it will display papers which are connected with the papers mentioned in this thread Maybe you will find something interesting. Good luck!

Hi, what a great resource! Is this the same project as the one described in our Link Directory --> Educaction (please see attached below)? If yes, I can update the link there

@Stefan Johansson Why is this marked as "hidden"? Is it because he is registered in another server or is this some setting that we can adjust as moderators?
#NeoMeeting for conferences? What about something not strictly work-related, but more community-related? Eg. #NeoLife so we can encourage also lighter discussions?Can we use this space to also discuss hashtags for the NICUverse? We could use one of these images to encourage users to add hashtags, and maybe suggest some of the trending ones? (or the ones we want to trend). @Francesco Cardonathoughts?
@RyoItoshima would you like to tell us about your practice from Japan?Hi @BetsyP, thanks for reaching out! I listed some possibilities here: https://99nicu.org/clubs/page/4-donate/ . I think that supporting the cause via the Polish page is right now the easiest one- this money will reach the Polish team soon and they can shop and plan transportation accordingly. It seems that the collection box is "full", but the objective was rather low at the start, so it is ok to contribute: https://pomagam.pl/en/ccdr4w?fbclid=IwAR0jKqCo96_Yr1e26Ft7ks-QS1FkcjM7UgIzuFi0CTvbnjhKIaPSD7b6eFgIf you feel you can offer help, please let us know in this thread. *Right now we are trying to understand what are the actual needs there, so please visit this page again soon for updated information*. Please specify where are you located and what are your possibilities (eg. accepting patients from Ukraine, arranging transfer, arranging transportation of medical equipment, collecting medical equipment).If you are aware about a verified fundraiser for children or medical needs in Ukraine, please let us know in this thread.It's great to see so many responses here. First we need to learn what are their actual needs right now. Through Polish Neonatal Society we are trying to understand how we -as international community- can provide support to them. We need to remember that most likely this invasion will take a while, and we need to be able to respond to their evolving needs.Polish Neonatal Society is in touch with the Ukrainian society, and they are raising money for disposable equipment for the units and also for arranging evacuation if needed. The situation there is dynamic. I’m talking with the creator of the fundraiser to provide description in English so I can share it with you.The last days have brought fears and sorrows to thousands of homes worldwide. We encourage you to support verified organizations bringing help to children in Ukraine. You can support the Emergency Fund of Save the Children Foundation, which provides essential humanitarian help to children and their families. Also, UNICEF has launched an emergency response fund to support children in Ukraine. If you are aware of any fundraiser specifically aim to support Ukrainian neonatal or pediatric patients, please let us know. Stay safe. 99nicu.org TeamFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU K it. Sorry!!!!!Hi Ali, I'm pretty sure you've seen that, but for anybody not familiar with HFOV- maybe this RCT will shed some light: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33890156/
