Excellent explanation. If you get chance can you teach us about basic understanding of ECHO. Thank you

[@TalaTalksNICU]

I'm definitely not an expert on echos- i'm trying to improve but you would be better served by a cardiologist or someone with extensive experience of evaluating the pictures (not just the numbers the cardiologists give us). For now- check out kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZDddmZnibF_jqMsi=wtKWTlWLzs-_hezH It's a fantatic resource!

Should we be treating the diastolic pressure with a vasopressor in infants with PDA who have "adequate" MAPS but wide pulse pressures to prevent NEC?

[@TalaTalksNICU]

OOFFF - PDAs are tough. The problem is- if you give a vasopressor with a PDA- then the blood leaving the left side of the heart- will 'see' the higher pressures in the body and then the lower pressure system in the lungs- and even MORE blood may be shunted to the lungs and away from the body. Ideally if we have such low BPs and we're not getting sufficient blood flow to the kidneys/ gut etc- then often the answer is to close the PDA.

Hello can you do videos on what a NICU nurses role is in a delivery and necessary clinical skills as a NICU nurse like would a NICU nurse intubate or would that be the doctors or RT role or would the NICU nurse have to place an IV or does the ARNP do it ? Etc.. Thank you I love your videos they are so informative.

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Hello! I love the idea of that video- thank you so much- I'll convince some friends to do it (Arianna never wants to go on camera!). Thanks so much for being here and for your encouraging words XX

[@anneshields8188]

I find it hilarious that most centers want a cuff pressure, even if on central blood pressure readings. Why would this plastic cuff tell you more than a state of the art transducer?

[@TalaTalksNICU]

I know!!!! Esp when there’s a solid UAC in place! I’ve had this conversation a few times with people! With any PAL or for a UAC in a tiny baby in for longer than we’d want- I guess you never know when it will start “flattening” so it’s nice to have some correlation- I guess??? But still- do we need q3 cuff pressures?! Not sure what the answer is!!

[@abdirahmanabdi6586]
