How to WORK-UP and treat HYDROPS // what are outcomes like?!

[@Kaitybardot]

Thank you! Your videos are my go-to as a new grad NICU RN.

[@TalaTalksNICU]

THANK YOU! That makes us so happy! Congrats on your new role :)

[@haleystreever6155]

I’m a newbie NICU RN too and these videos help me so much!!!

[@raminanouri1506]

Thanks for an excellent video! I would like a video on chylothorax

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Yes- Thank you - we definitely need to cover that soon. Thanks!

[@anaisc6678]

Thank you so much for your videos. I'm a nurse but new to NICU and there is so much to learn. I love referencing to your videos. Literally had a hydrops baby two nights ago.

[@TalaTalksNICU]

So happy they're helpful Anais. Thanks o much for letting us know- so motivating getting comments like yours. And ps- congrats on finding yourself in the best field! ha!

[@asermahmoud7273]

Thank you for all this information. Can you please arrange videos about ECG, Non invasive ventilation and how to adjust it according to ga

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Thank you so much! We actually hadn't planned an ECG lecture - but may be fun to do one on the most common and concerning ECG abnormalities we see in the newborn period. We have a couple more videos coming that we already had planned- and then well be starting the non-invasive series- hopefully starting March :)

[@sunil5394]

Looking forward to a talk on a talk on a metabolic work up in a baby with suspected metabolic disorder.

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Yes! It's coming soon- we promise!

[@evarot9585]

Thank you for the amazing video! Could you maybe also make a video about "metabolic emergencies"?

[@TalaTalksNICU]

YES! I (Tala) have written half of it- so we'll get it out in the next month or so. (I know this has been asked a lot- so I do apologize we haven't gotten around to it yet)

[@maryamshaikh6615]

what happens if hydrops baby also had cystic hygroma in neck and amniotic fluit in heart and lungs what should we do??

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Hello- I'm not sure what you mean about amniotic fluid within heart/ lungs. With hydrops- infants end up with fluid around heart and lungs. They need to be delivered if it comes to this. Good luck

[@maryamshaikh6615]

@@TalaTalksNICU i’m asking why hydrops happens in fetus

[@TalaTalksNICU]

@maryamshaikh6615 oh sorry I didn’t get it! We cover that in part 1 of Hydrops- so maybe check that out? If you go to home page- there is a playlist of Hydrops. If you have questions after that let us know!!!

We’re so glad you found it helpful! Thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@sophiabrockie905]

Hi Tala and team! I’d love to see a video series on identifying sepsis and common causes in the neonate. I know you’ve mentioned sepsis multiple times throughout videos but I’d love to hear more about evidence based practices for addressing sepsis. Not sure if it’s too broad of a topic or if you have already created a series on this! Thanks!

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Hi Sophia! You're absolutely right- it's such a massive topic that we've been nervous to get into it. But we need to cover some basics- it's been long enough! (Actually ridiculous we haven't talked about sepsis yet!!)

[@marionparsons2292]

@@TalaTalksNICU Hi Tala! As a related topic - I'd love to have a better understanding of antibiotic selection. When there are no culture/sensitivity results yet, how do MDs decide which to prescribe? Another topic that I'd suggest would be liver function tests - ALP, AST, ALT, GGT, albumin, direct bili - what do they mean? Not just the literal function of the marker (i.e. enzyme that converts this AA), but what do high and low levels mean for the baby's status?

[@TalaTalksNICU]

These are all excellent suggestions. We should have you as an official consultant! And I love the specificity of the antibiotic one- maybe that’s the bite size we could start with. Similarly with the LFTs! Could talk about labs all day :)

Very informative lecture. Could you please post the Feto maternal guidelines for hydrops? Or where can I find them

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Whoops! We didn't put that reference in! Sorry and thank you so much for pointing that out! I'll update the page and here it is for you: Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM), Norton ME, Chauhan SP, Dashe JS. Society for maternal-fetal medicine (SMFM) clinical guideline #7: nonimmune hydrops fetalis. Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2015 Feb;212(2):127-39. doi: 10.1016/j.ajog.2014.12.018. Epub 2014 Dec 31. PMID: 25557883. Thanks!!!

[@haleystreever6155]

I would love a video explaining the difference between the Jet and the Oscillator- I’m a Level IV RN and my unit uses the Oscillator so I have a good grasp on that but I we don’t use the Jet so I’d like to have an understanding incase I ever go somewhere and need to use it!!

[@TalaTalksNICU]

YES! We do need to get around to the jet. We made two videos on the oscillator so maybe check those out- and we're going top cover the jet soon. Hope you're enjoying your role!

[@narayanrizal586]

Great!!

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Thank you so much!

[@MH-hw4uh]

Thanks again for your thorough video. You are so knowledgeable. As I mentioned in your first video my daughter lost her baby at 17 weeks due to this condition. Her blood test showed that she has Parbo virus. Not sure if I pronounced properly. Can this be cured in the mother after delivery. Do you think if she gets pregnant again the baby would get the same illness? Thanks for any response ❤🎉

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Hello- I’m so sorry about your grandbaby- how sad and tragic for the whole family. It is so unlucky she got parvovirus while pregnant :( Mother would have cleared this and hopefully have some antibodies against it so would be very unlikely to get again. Wishing you all luck and health and healing xxx

[@irynaskalenko4961]

Thank you for the video, a lot of information that is very valuable. At the second screening at 19.4 weeks, they found free fluid in the fetus's abdomen on ultrasound, 8 times more than necessary, the heart works perfectly, strong, all organs work well, they found 1 artery and one vein in the umbilical cord, but this does not affect the fetus, it corresponds to its development period, even a little ahead. The question is, how great are the chances of maintaining the pregnancy and if there are recommendations, I will be very glad to your advice ❤️, I really want to give birth to a healthy girl, all previous attempts ended in miscarriages, I am 38 years old

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Hello- congratulations on your pregnancy. It sounds like you have excellent doctors who spotted the issue and they're following you well. If it's just fluid in the belly then these babies often have gut issues- and have a better outcomes than other causes for hydrops (assuming there is fluid elsewhere). I wish you luck and health and peace XXX

[@laraeb2514]

I am behind on watching your videos, but once again, another freaking fabulous video!!!! So comprehensive and informative, I love that you even addressed the decision points regarding an emergent c/s in the presence of high mortality....I kinda want to relocate just to work with your team, I promise I can carry my weight I have the energy of a newbie with 20 years experience 😂😂 Also the KB test....I don't believe I have ever pronounced it correctly thankfully most know what I'm talking about when I say KB.

[@TalaTalksNICU]

HAHAH KB! yup- don't think i'll say that again. Well you sound perfect for any job on the planet- the curiosity and energy and love for the job still there- with the experience. Come join us!!!!Thank you SO much for the lovely compliments!!
