Hi Dr. Tala! I started working in NICU a less then ago and your videos have always been a great resource! I really enjoy watching and learning from them! I was hoping you might be able to make a video on inotropes, the different kinds, how they work and when they might be used in neonates ect. xx

[@tariqaziz9136]

Very well explained. Anal patency is one of the important aspect of examination which was missed. Much love from Pakistan.

[@TalaTalksNICU]

You’re right! It’s a KZbin thing! We go through these checks if we include anything in genital area. We filmed that part too and we need to release! I agree- missed so often!

[@goecmj]

Thank you for all your videos! Still a huge fan! Do you have any recommendations on checking femoral pulses? I find that they are quite difficult to palpate.

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Thank you so much! So happy you’re here. No secrets - just lots and lots of exams! Sometimes it takes me a few seconds to feel them too. Really they’re in the medial thigh area. Sometimes I do the blood pressure cuff trick and press a little harder and then release to feel if frees up pulse!

Thank you ,Dr Tala! I am watching you from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

[@emysabet9083]

wow, excellent detailed newborn examination, but I think you missed external genitalia examination( hypospadias, scrotum, undescended testicle, & ambiguous genitalia.)..

[@TalaTalksNICU]

We did on purpose! A KZbin thing! When genitalia is included it becomes an advertising issue so KZbin not paid as much and they’re less likely to recommend video. So we filmed it but plan on putting out a separate one. We also have a short NCLEX genitalia one if you want to check that out?

[@hubiguri1671]

Thanks for this video! Perfect repetition before my exam in neonatology tomorrow :)

Amazing as usual, But why u didn't mention anything about genitalia exam?

Hello! Thank you so much! We get weird messages from KZbin when we included anything that may be deemed inappropriate. So we planned on making a separate video. There’s one NCLEX one for now. Sorry!!!

[@zzel12128]

great video! what's your opinion on crocheted octopuses for premature babies?

[@TalaTalksNICU]

LOVE them!!!!! In the unit anything which can provide a baby comfort (smell/ feel etc) I think is a good thing. (As long as clean and the baby is being monitored). At home nothing should go in crib with baby! As an aside- I find them so cute! Ha!

[@lynettevanrooyen1]

Its supposed to help babies grab then as the umbilical cord, but truly more of a infection risk

[@tamale4864]

If baby is a micro premie, is it normal for outer helix to be absent?

[@TalaTalksNICU]

It can be just really flimsy and almost look like a thickened bit of of skin. Sometimes babies may have dysmorphic features but it’s hard to actually recognize them as they get older because there is still so much growth and development of facial features!

[@Chris-di6nl]

can't ear pits or ear anomalies give a clue into potential renal concerns? since they develop at the same time in utero? or is that an old wives tale

[@TalaTalksNICU]

No you’re absolutely right! Ears and kidneys develop at similar times and their development is controlled by some of same genes- (eg CHARGE syndrome). Because of this we used to get renal ultrasounds whenever we saw very minor ear abnormalities- and then we realised how low yield this is. If you have any major abnormality (lacking an ear, microtia etc) especially with any other abnormality- then would get an ultrasound. I wish I brought this up now- it’s an excellent point! Thank you!!

why do cephalohematoma cause jaundice?

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Sorry- I did not explain that well. Cephalohematoma is actually a bleed- or a collection of blood. So when that blood breaks down it releases bilirubin. (So just more likely to have jaundice. Babies with caputs are not because that’s just edema- not blood)
