I loved it! Here’s a little compilation of podcasts that I’d shared with my staff Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Update: This is a fantastic QI project with several learning points Reducing Unplanned Extubations in a Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: The Elusive Benchmark. https://www.qxmd.com/r/33575517 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We started off with 28-34w and for those on neonatal unit only (plan to include delivery room once unit confidence builds up). For this category we use sucrose + swaddle only. However we’ve been facing an occasional vigorous baby, who we have had to revert to premedication and ventilation. We need to find a middle ground for these babies. Maybe LMA/ fentanyl/ ramifentanyl?

My colleagues here at a tertiary unit in England, seem to have taken a liking and preference to the vygon surfcath. It’s definitely worth considering Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes please. The dose and concentration of dextrose with dose of insulin would be helpful. Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
May I ask what concentration dextrose do you use in your unit (and the insulin dose) in managing hyperkalaemia, please? Is it a set concentration glucose or do you aim for 8-16mg/kg/min of glucose delivery? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you for asking this question! We use a Philips Affiniti 70 device in our unit (we are tertiary NICU in England). We are on the lookout for a second scanner for pure cardiac ultrasonography purposes. Few other tertiary units in our region use a GE Vivid S70N. Would be good to know what others use and do kindly share your experiences please.

I’m considering use of Microsoft access to build unit handover database at a tertiary NICU. Any suggestions as to how people might have used one/ any available templates, please? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone using safe and time-efficient ways of calculating common infusions, such as morphine/ muscle relaxants/ inotropes/ prostaglandin etc? I’ve come across spreadsheets with weight as variable and some stickers. But looking for ideas and to gain from other good practices too! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We tend to involve paediatric respiratory team/ consider corticosteroids/ rule out pulmonary arterial Hypertension/ consider alternate day azithromycin. If oxygen requirement persisting beyond 40-42weeks, we would have MDT to transition to paediatrics where depending on effectiveness of above measures, they would consider tracheostomy and home duopap.

Another interesting post. Does the risk of minimising dead space and tube occlusion by kinking (if and when left unsupported) significantly outweigh risks of unplanned extubation, breach product warranty and its consequences? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
