Thank you for your response. I try to reduce unnecessary examinations and treatments and perform only those that are necessary. In addition, I try to avoid treatments with low evidence levels and to include treatments for which new evidence has been shown. I am personally interested in circulatory management immediately after birth, early extubation, infection control, and factors that improve long-term prognosis, and so on. I would also like to promote more family involvement in our NICU. This is because it is the safest treatment with no side effects and has evidence that shows its benefit.

Genetics may have something to play a role. Worldwide, survival rates are increasing and complication rates are decreasing. I believe that tomorrow's outcomes will be better than today's as a result of advances in treatment. I am studying publications written by all of you, and I am implementing what I have learned every day in my practice.
