[@SridharKs]

Thank you, Ayesha

[@dileepkful]

Now you have finally got something for us junior doctors working at NICUs. Many thanks sir. Could you please make some videos on topics like sepsis, nutrition, ventilation etc...

[@SridharKs]

Sure, thank you

[@salemessid2748]

Such a remarkable presentation with a very rich and marvelously simplified content, thank you very much for sharing. I have some questions if you may: 1/Should we avoid low PCO2 for all intubated babies or just when managing babies with PPHN that are cooled for asphyxia? 2/What's the surfactant's dose? 3/How does a LV dysfunction leads to an elevation of pressures in the left atrium (please do correct me if I'm mistaken, but we were taught that the heart dysfunction in newborn is global and it' hard to determine LV from RV dysfunction).

[@SridharKs]

Good morning, thank you. Prof Satyan is indeed a great teacher.

[@SridharKs]

Regarding low PCO2, you can apply the principle that anything in excess is harmful. Same applies to ventilation. Just ventilate to support and tide over the problem. Low co2 means you are overdoing ventilation, so avoid in any ventilated baby. Of course you know the higher risk of PVL with hypocapnoea too (cerebral vasoconstriction)

[@SridharKs]

Dose of surfactant is 100 mg per kg. Regarding neonatal heart, with increasing use of bedside echo, we are more aware of such changes. Of course, we are talking of very rapid transitions and titration of medication, which might involve repeating echo frequently within a day. Any logical effect on pump will apply to neonates too, and this is an example

Thank you. Please share with your team

Thank you very much for the value information. my Question which value should you maintain for the blood pressure ( systolic and THE middle blood pressure FOR premature and full term ).

[@SridharKs]

Hi, you could use the centile charts for systolic and mean pressures that are available in most text books (95th centile and 5th centile). However, remember that clinical assessment is more important and the rough guide of gestational age in weeks for lower limit of MAP is acceptable in first 2-3 days (it goes up with age)
