That's so great - thank you for the lovey compliment- I'm so glad RTs watching too. There's so much vent stuff we want to cover- so I'm really hoping an RT friend of mine will help!!!

New-ish RT here starting in the NICU 🙋🏻‍♀️ been loving your videos and how they break down these topics school didn’t have the time to cover (thank you for always shouting us out! 🥲) I’m sure you more than likely already know but for anyone who doesn’t… the iNO machine most places have has a place to attach the ambu bag to continue iNO while bagging! You/the RT just has to make sure the dial on the front matches the amount that was being given before bagging ☺️ I was hoping you could cover the differences between the oscillator vs the jet if you haven’t yet! Just being told active vs passive ventilation isn’t as helpful as people think it is 😅

Hello! So happy you’re in the unit! Yes! Took me time to figure it out- they’re tricky those portholes! Thank you! Would be great to do a video on logistics like that! And yes! Hahaha the active vs passive thing- such a textbook- almost meaningless answer!!! We made a video on oscillators- and we’re filming the one in jets soon!!! Thank you!

Using iNO on a 25 wkr right now. ~400g, 100% O2. severe R -> L shunt. With NO we got her down to mid 30's. I flew with a cooling, HFOV NO infant not long back. She needed ECMO int he worst way. Severe MAS. This was a wonderful overview of the logic of iNO in these populations. Thank you. I learned a lot.

This is splendid! Honestly, I am a type of person who just skips the history part of any topic but today I enjoyed every second and was able to listen for more. Also, I would like to comment on the quality of this video as it is clear that there was a huge effort to bring it to this level. Thanx Dr. Tala

OH THANK YOU! we're trying! We realize at some stage we need to make the leap to a more professional production- but we seem to be eking by now with small improvements- so I'm glad you noticed a difference! And I'm with you- sometimes the history of something is so irrelevant ("in 1807...blah blah") but there's something about neonatal history- and how we got here. (So I can't take credit for that- the story is just fascinating!). Thank you again for being here :)

Another great video!!!

Is there any contraindications for iNO?

@TalaTalksNICU

Жыл бұрын

well- really no on paper. If you have methemoglobinemia this would be a bad idea (but why would a baby have this? lidocaine overdose?!) it is expensive and it is difficult to set up- and by the time a baby needs it, the baby is really sick, so it can be argued it shouldn't be used in lower level units (unless as a bridge to get baby transferred out). If the lungs are collapsed or there is an actual obstruction then the iNO won't reach the alveoli so it would be useless. But essentially- it doesn't really have a lot of side effects- so you can try it- and if there is no difference in an hour or so- you can d/c it.

Does nitric oxide take the place of curosurf? If yes, why? And if no, why? Thank you!

@TalaTalksNICU

Жыл бұрын

Not really...curosurf used for replacing surfactant in babies that don't have it (e.g. premature RDS babies), or in babies that have it but the surfactant has been inactivated by another substance (e.g. blood or meconium). iNO is used when the pressure in the lungs is high- normally from one of these underlying issues. Does that make sense?
