[@thenicudoc]

Added to the list. Thanks for the suggestion

[@felipeguinancio7456]

Thanks again Dr Fort. Really enjoying your channel. Another question, do you think babies with severe sepsis, edema, reduced urine output may have some benefit of regular doses of albumin? Thanks again

[@thenicudoc]

If you have hypotension or you have edema and you get a serum albumin level that is low, then replacing with albumin (and sometimes following with furosemide in the case of edema) can help the baby. Hope this answers your question.

[@felipeguinancio7456]

Sure it does. Thanks again

[@smforhad5993]

what about the dose of NaHco3 & albumin?//

[@thenicudoc]

Do you mean combined? It us always important to know what it is you are treating and not to give everything. This in a preemie could potentially greatly increase the risk of IVH and would not give combined. I recommend give one, observe a change and then give the other if able.
