Great presentation from Great man as usual. 207 viewers in 12 hours. Means people are just like me visiting your page about 3 times daily waiting for new great presentation. Thanks again and again . God bless you Osama.
thank you:-) i am a new nicu nurse who only worked with adults primarily neurology/neurosurg and am trying to learn all about neonates!! this was so helpful
I want to thank u doctor very much , I am in 5th year medical student & completely depend on your lectures .. thanx alot is there another lectures in neonatology ( Respiratory distress , infant of diabetic mother ) ?
Thanks professor for wonderful video. I would like to know the Pathophysiology of “ Hyponatremia “ for a neonate who’s supplemented with Glucose “ sugar water “/ Dextrose ! Thanks once again
You are very welcome. Simply giving free water with no electrolytes can cause dilutional hyponatremia. Free water is not recommended for babies not eating solids yet. Classically after 6 months its okay to give free water if the infant is taking solids. In another word, milk only in the first 6 months of life. Thanks
Dr. Naga, did you make your own bilrubin monogram with the parameters (gestational age and risk factors)? I do not seem to be able to find one with those parameters - If not, do you mind sharing a link to it? thanks
Thank you - I had the article downloaded - just was only looking at the first one - very grateful for your lectures - they are helping many aspiring pediatric care providers
It may help, but because of risk of sunburn and we do not know how much is safe to be exposed directly to the sun, therefore is not recommended as a routine or alternative therapy for jaundice. But if the conventional therapy is not available, give parents these instructions to prevent sunburn: Exposing your baby to sunlight through a window might help lower the bilirubin level, but this will only work if the baby is undressed. Make sure the temperature in your home is comfortable and not too cold for your baby. Newborns should never be put in direct sunlight outside because they might get sunburned. If the total bilirubin is elevated to the high risk zone then frequent testing is required (within 4 hours from starting the therapy) to ensure the total bili is not at a dangerous level, and follow up is critical to prevent kernicterus. If not improving then hospital admission or ER visit is a must.
