Thank you so much Alison! We would LOVE to do an entire video on Xrays- but we're concerned about copyright issues as well as HIPAA issues! We just put a plea out under the community tab for viewers to email us interesting X-rays etc. In the meantime- we are also asking some researchers for permission to use their X-rays. So stay posted!

Hi Dr. Tala! Love your videos. Could you make a video on vital signs and some laboratory values for neonates? For example, what’s on an iSTAT, ICU panel, etc.

@TalaTalksNICU

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Doing a series on labs is a great idea- especially the basics. Interestingly each hospital calls their groups of labs by different names and has different labs within each group. E.g Your ICU panel may be another hospital's CMP or renal profile etc. But going through the general chemistries and gases (inc. iCa etc.) is definitely something we should be going over! Thank you! Until we get around to these videos- you may want to check out the CBC ones- where we covered WBCs, RBCs, platelets etc. Thanks again!

@TalaTalksNICU

Hello!!! Thanks again so much Dr. Hassan! Gestational diabetes is thought to directly decrease surfactant production and release, which is why these infants have a higher incidence of RDS.

Thank you very much for the useful knowledge. Can you tell me more about the latest treatment updates for RDS? Since listening to your KZread channel, I have learned a lot for clinical practice.

@TalaTalksNICU

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Lan! This is SUCH an important topic in neonatology- and there have been so many differing opinions on steroids. We need to do a whole video on steroids! We know they are great to get a baby extubated and they probably decrease BPD, but we don't generally give them for acute treatment for RDS. More information to come!!!

Can we give surfactant in case of pneumothorax complicated RDS. Thank you.

@TalaTalksNICU

2 жыл бұрын

Hello Rasoul! Yes! this often works really well. (If the pneumothorax is small and not too symptomatic- then giving surfactant sometimes mean you don't need to do anything else). And even if the baby popped a pneumothorax in the setting of RDS- even if you needle/ place a chest tube, giving surfactant would likely prevent further pneumothoraces. What do you do in your unit?

LISA Administration when the baby still breathing on it own and has ventilation support via CPAP instead of insure?

@TalaTalksNICU

9 ай бұрын

LISA is less invasive surfactant administration- so we keep baby on CPAP, and we use blade to visualize cords and then pass a small catheter through cords. Then push in surfactant with syringe. It's less invasive because baby stays on CPAP (no aggressive PPV breaths) and also the catheter we're 'intubating' with is much skinnier. Does that answer the question?!

Hi Dr thank for your nice information. I want to know future risk of Rds in infant

@TalaTalksNICU

3 жыл бұрын

Great question Roshan. There is definitely a genetic component to RDS. So generally if a mother had a child at 36 weeks with bad RDS, there's a good chance her next child will also have issues with RDS if that infant were born even slightly early. If babies are born at a very early GA then they will have RDS no matter the genetic component.

@TalaTalksNICU

3 жыл бұрын

To answer your questions: 1- Depending on severity of RDS, it can have problems in the future (mostly if develops into BPD). These symptoms would be similar to asthma, decreased ability to expire quickly, and some bronchospasms. And 2- RDS and hyaline membrane disease refer to same disease. TTN and MAS are both different. (We have videos on all of these, if you are interested) Good luck with your information gathering!

Has dexamethasone got anything to do with the immaturity of infant lungs

@TalaTalksNICU

2 жыл бұрын

Hello! Dexamethasone given prenatally (to mothers) has been shown to increase surfactant production as well as potentially help the lungs mature. (So has betamethasone- another steroid- which may also be better at preventing neonatal death). Generally though, after babies are born we don't give steroids to help surfactant maturation- but rather to decrease any swelling so we can get babies extubated. Does this answer your question?!
