Hello Dr Tala, I'm watching your videos from Vietnam. Thank you so much for all of these interesting videos. Would you please tell us about hemodynamics disorders (hypotension, shock) in neonate. Thank you!!!

Hello! Thanks much for watching and for taking the time to comment. We have been asked to cover hypotension a few times- and honestly I think I've been putting off because it's SUCH a controversial and massive topic! We will get around to it though! Thank you!

You are so knowledgeable. My daughter recently lost her bay boy to this condition in her 17th week’s pregnancy. 😢

[@TalaTalksNICU]

I’m so sorry- that is just so painful. I hope your daughter is managing ok now- it’s so tough.

[@MH-hw4uh]

@@TalaTalksNICU Thank you so much. It has been a tough past 3 weeks. Yes, God makes the difference in our lives and is our greatest strength. Last week she occupied herself in making memories in sweet ways, that does help the family heals. Just glad for that. One thing we realized is that this Angelic Baby brought us peace in our hearts that was never there. It’s unexplainable. We will see him again in heaven. Thanks again for your videos. 💙

[@samualloy]

Thanks so much for these great videos and very helpful to help find my feet. In a child or adult, a low or high output cardiac failure would almost always preferentially present as pleural +/- ascitic effusions but rarely pericardial. Does the site of effusions give you any clue as to the aetiology of the hydrops?

[@TalaTalksNICU]

That is such a great question. As you know hydrops by definition means fluid in two spaces. So you could make an argument that if it's a GI issue for example- you're more likely to have ascites with something else, or if it's a CPAM, you're more likely to have a pleural effusion with something else. But honestly- often by the time we're diagnosing hydrops- babies have extra fluid everywhere!

[@nimadesai2152]

Could you please post part 2 of hydrops

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Yes! Our next two videos are tetralogy of Fallot and then part two of hydrops! Thanks for your patience :)

[@CC-ek5pk]

My baby girl has all areas of fluid build up. Caused by Turner’s syndrome. She always has a very large cystic hygroma. 20 weeks 5 days and her heart is still beating. We opted for natural demise so we can meet her. Difficult journey. My heart hurts for all who have lost their babies. 💔

[@TalaTalksNICU]

I'm so sorry for this extremely difficult time. I hope you got to hold her and love her for some time. She will always be in your heart XX

😢 My son had hydrops. I didn’t know until 33 weeks gestation and had an emergency c-section. He lived for 8 weeks and passed away in the NICU. This was in 2013. I don’t know what caused this condition in my son.

[@TalaTalksNICU]

I am so sorry Alisha. That is so heart breaking. It's so awful when we never have a cause. I hope you have found some peace in his memories. 8 weeks too- he fought so hard :(

[@MerriMom]

@@TalaTalksNICU thank you! I took lots of pictures and took care of him any way I could. I got to hold him a couple times. I was there almost every day. He was over an hour away from home, and I had a 2 year old at the time. Now I have a rainbow baby who just turned 7 years old. I’m thankful for her every day and for every day I got to spend with my son.

I’m so glad your time with him was precious. And now a 7 year old and a 12 year ? Old too- fun ages :)

Hi Dr, My baby (26week premature) was stay 45 days at NICU.she died 46th day.Dr said she is perfectly alright at the morning.but suddenly she had a bleeding in her nose and she died after 4 hour.why it's happening?.plz reply me doctor..? (Platelet count 85000 nd hb 9.9 at morning)

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Oh Jisna- that is so sad, I'm so sorry for your loss. Obviously I don't know at all what was happening with your baby, but if this were an exam question I'd assume that something made the platelets low- most likely a really bad, unlucky infection or NEC. They come so quickly sometimes, and we can't stop them fast enough. I hope you get the answers you want and find some peace in your future.

[@jisnak.p7659]

[@TalaTalksNICU]

I'm so sorry for your loss. If IgM was negative then it is unlikely you had an active rubella infection (may have had in past, or had vaccine). Many mothers have issues in pregnancies which we never figure out and then go on to have healthy pregnancies and babies. We wish you peace, luck and health XX
