What IS Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia - (Neonatal Chronic Lung Disease)?? BPD Part 1 - Tala Talks NICU

[@fatmatamunu3169]

Thank you so much Dr Tala, i am a paediatric resident doctor in Ghana. Your videos are lifesaver. I can imagine the amount of time and effort you use in making these videos. May God continue to reward you. Dr Tala please when you are less busy you can also make videos on : 1 neonatal sepsis and TORCHES Infection, 2: Anemia 3: Tetanus. Once again, thank you so much.

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Thank you so much Dr. Munu for taking the time to write and give us such encouraging comments. We filmed a video on anemia (an early one!) so maybe check that out. We didn't have tetanus on the list- but honestly here in the US we see it so rarely. I wonder if you would like to give a lecture on tetanus?! We promise we will get around to the other ones !

[@jaz8989rn]

Thank you so much Dr. Tala! I'm a RN that is coming back to NICU after a traumatic experience. I was re-reading my old notes and unsure how much I was retaining until I found you. I love your videos, you explain the rationales and physiologies without getting too complicated, it's just enough to understand why we do what we do. I appreciate your family-centred and supportive attitude. I am pairing my policy review with your videos and I am feeling a lot more informed and confident which is huge for me as I re-enter the NICU environment! Honestly thank you so much, you are amazing.

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Wow- that was such a lovely message- thank you. I'm not sure if your traumatic experience was personal or related to the NICU, but good for you for being willing to get back on the horse. That must have taken a lot of strength and determination. We are so happy these videos help you -and we really hope your future the NICU is as smooth as can be. Good luck!!

[@candymaeyeung462]

Dr. Tala, I’m so grateful for all your videos. They’re great for my learning as an NNP student. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise to all of us 🤗 A request for future videos: Overview of Inherited Metabolic Disorders: key points in history taking, assessment and investigations? Thank you! ❤

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment- congratulations on your studies! We have been asked for IEM - inborn errors of metabolism- so many times- and we really NEED to cover it! Our plan is the next couple of months!

[@marinajohn4022]

Hi Thank you so much for the teaching.A request if you could Please do a session on metabolic bone disease and its pathophysiology .Could you please explain why do we supplement both phosphate and calcium even when it is usually the phosphate that is lowxx

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Hello Marina! I have been away- so I'm sorry this answer took so long! YES! we definitely need to do a lecture on bone disease, osteopenia of prematurity and generally calcium and phosphorous. It is really hard to make sure that a growing premature infant gets the calcium and phosphorous their mother would be giving them in utero- if everything is going great (i.e. absorbing feeds, normal PTH, enough vitamin D etc)- then we can just about make it. If anything goes wrong- e.g. the infant is NPO on TPN etc- it's really hard to get the balance the baby needs. Calcium may be normal in the baby's blood, but this is a small part of the baby's calcium. If the phosphorous is low, and the alk Phos is high- then bodily calcium (especially the bones) is probably low too. We promise we'll get to it!! Thanks so much for watching and for commenting!

Great information

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Thanks so much for letting us know- we're so glad you think so!

[@stillbreathing100]

that was a wonderful intro to BPD.. understood the concept of old vs new BPD.. Anxiously waiting for the part 2… so two small question.. 1. a 35 weeker preterm,if he is oxygen dependent at 1 week of life, would it be considered BPD? 2. is RDS a-pre- requisite for bpd or can bpd occur without rds

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Hello!!! Excellent questions a- so depending on which definition is used- that infant could be diagnosed as having BPD (that's the advantage of needing Oxygen for 28 days and where you are at 36 weeks) b- RDS isn't a pre-requisite- but BPD is a disease of premature infants- so even of they didn't have horrible RDS (i.e. high Oxygen and 1 or more doses of surf)- they are still at risk of BPD. In fact we see quite a few of these- infants who never even needed intuition or surfactant- but somehow they still end up with bad lungs. But by definition all premature infants are born with some level of surfactant deficiency- so they all have RDS- even if it is 'mild'. Does the help?!

[@stillbreathing100]

@@TalaTalksNICU yes. Understood both points. So if we have a premie with RDS, and initially after some period of oxygen dependency, the baby remains off oxygen for a few days and then again becomes oxygen dependent (maybe duebto sepsis or pneumonia or aspiration .(in short, if there is an oxygen free period in between).. can we still label the baby as having BPD.

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Generally yes. This is sometimes the course of BPD- that they look like they're weaning and we'' be able to get them off Oxygen or to home Oxygen, and then something may happen (pneumonia, aspiration etc) that puts babies back on Oxygen or much higher support. Sometimes we don't even know the reason: they just tire out and become incredibly hypercarbic. (In these situations I always think the body grew relatively more than the lungs did- and so effectively outgrew good functioning lungs. I have no proof of this- but it seems to happen not infrequently).
