Crazy how they come in pairs and theres- always! So glad you found this helpful!

Hello- we're so glad this has been helpful all! Thanks so much for taking the time let us know. Also- so impressive you're looking for education in alternative places- on like a NICU youtube channel. Says a lot more about you than about us!!! Thank you :)

Oh yay! Good luck!!!! Thanks for writing to us!!!

Wow! Thank you! That comment made our day!!!! Please check out the other ones and let us know if there are any videos you’d be interested in?!

Thanks so much Mercy for your lovely words. We really appreciate you being here :)

That makes us so happy! Thank you for watching and thank you for letting us know where you are! We imagine beautiful views from your NICU!!

Sooooooooo happy you found it helpful!! Ha! Thanks for being here :)

Ok I think we’ll try to do this one next!!! It’s time!!!!! Thanks for being here!

You are so right! We made this video a couple of years ago and have since realized how we need to be including so many more pictures and graphics. Slightly improving but we still have a ways to go!!!! Thank you!

We always love your comments! Thanks so much for your continued support :)

We're so happy you found this video helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time to write to us :)

Thank you- we appreciate your support!

Thank you :))))

Hello! We haven’t made a C-section video- I’m assuming you meant from a neonatal standpoint! Honestly when OBs are doing a C-section it’s normally to save the baby or save the mama (or better for either for some reason) and so most of the time we have to deal with it!!!!

Thank you for the lovely sentiment Bernadette! We really appreciate you being here :)

Thank you for watching Kebede!

You're so welcome- thanks for being here :)

Hi Cecile- this is a great idea. It's funny- when I was in residency- we had so many issues with osteopenia (and alkaline phosphatase >1000, with poor little babies getting fractures)- now we're all so much better with nutrition, and we have much better choices, that it's much rarer. But it is a very important topic- especially since we're still on a fluid and electrolyte kick!

Thank you so much for continuing to watch our channel!!! We appreciate your support :)

Yes! This is a great idea for a quick video! Essentially- it is encouraged in units that have more fungal infections. We can definitely cover that. Thanks for that idea!!!

Thank you Joey- and again- thanks for subscribing!

Yes! We’re planning on this video soon! Thanks so much for the suggestion!

So glad it helped! Love those a- ha moments!!!

Hello! So glad you like the videos. So generally the only babies we check for sugars are the ones at risk (SGA, LGA, IDM and premature). Protocols are pretty much set by different hospitals. Generally, the first sugar is checked soon after birth ~1 hr. Even the threshold for hypoglycemia is different in different hospitals (somewhere around < 45). If sugars are normal then they're checked qAC for 12- 24 hrs. If abnormal- then a different pathway followed- we use glucose gel if needed. Does that help?!

Thank you for watching and taking the time to thank us!!

Thank you so much :)

So glad you think so- thank you!

Hello!I'm assuming you're referring to congenital hyperinsulinism? (This used to be called nesidioblastosis)- and it's basically a 'tumor' of the islet cells in the pancreas- that continuously over-secret insulin. (So unlike the normal IDM neonate- the hyperinsulism is transient- with CHI- the high insulin levels never go away). Many of these are genetic in origin. Ultimately they are treated with aggressive feeds (if milder), medications and sometimes surgery- where a large part of the pancreas is removed. (We will cover a video on hypoglycemia at some point!) Thanks foe asking this question :)

Yes- probably should have emphasized that more. Definitely a higher risk of developing PPHN (RDS, perinatal depression, septal hypertrophy). We look back at so many of these videos and think how we could have improved upon them! We're constantly trying!! Thank you!

Thank you so much! And thanks so much for subscribing Minhaj :)

Thank you so much Beverly! You've been such a loyal supporter :)

We're so glad you liked it Sumathy! Thanks for letting us know :)

Thank you!!!

Hello! Excellent question! Each hospital has slightly different protocols- so there really isn’t a standard. Generally sugars are checked before feedings (so we have the lowest possible sugars). So normally this is ~ q 3 hrs. There is so much controversy about which sugar levels are acceptable and what to do about it that I’m guessing every protocol is within standard of care. I wouldn’t be surprised if we all decrease how often we’re checking sugars in asymptomatic neonates in the near future.

Yes- this is great too- we're going to start a 'symptom' type series- so we'll cover this then too. Thanks for being here!

Thank you so much for watching and commenting :)
