Thank you so much Brandie!!! Literally can't tell you how motivating comments like yours are. Really keep us going! We hope you enjoy your job as much as we all do! Thanks again :)
I'm a neonatologist in Vietnam. I've been working in this area for almost 3 years but I just found your channel recently by accident and it really attracts me to watch all of your videos. Most of things I'm familiar with but I can not explain it thoroughly like the way you present in each video. Keep up this great work and I really hope to watch videos about Inotropes and application of NO inhalation in treatment some neonatal disorders.
Yay! So happy you're watching all the way from Vietnam. We'd love to visit a unit there some day! We definitely need to do a video on inotropes (although I feel like the ones people use seem to be very unit dependent!). We made a video on pulmonary hypertension and we touch on inhaled NO in that one. We try to avoid using iNO in preemies (although I will say, every now and again we have a premature infant who responds to it). Do you use iNO in premature infants? Thank you so much for taking the time to comment!
@@TalaTalksNICU really sorry for replying late cause I've not checked notifications recently. Actually, I changed my workplace from children hospital in which is equipped with full machinery, devices and specified doctors (like ped-cardiologist - radiologist - neurologist...) are always available of all time to a hospital mainly specified for obstetrics and gynecology, my department includes neonatologist only. As a result, our NICU department faces with lots of difficulties in treating extremely premature babies and even premature, term babies accompanied with comorbidities. iNO is still on a process of trial in my department and we just use it in selective cases (pulmonary hypertension on term babies due to meconium aspiration, pneumonia). I wanted to know more about using experiences on inotropes since I don't understand it fully and very few materials I could find mentioning about it clearly in neonate. Really admire your work and your hospitality.
Hi , I am a paediatric consultant in srilanka.I really enjoyed your you tube channel.It is very informative and very helpful for doctors who manage neonates.Thank you and keep it up!!!
Thank you for valuable lessons!!! I used to read these concepts from different books...now I can hear them sublimated in short, clear sessions... Thank you, dr Tala
Thx for all the sharing. As a physio working in NICU, I learn a lot from ur video. The premie’s energy expenditures I did spend lots of time on, but still find that a bit harsh to make them clear. With ur videos, all the obstacles are solved! Looking forward to ur next video. Gd day!
Hello Henry! I completely agree- it is tricky- because it's such a grey area! I hope this was clear enough- although EVERY single time a video comes out I think of something else I put in it! ha! Thank you so much for your support- we really really appreciate your comments :)
Me: “I need to supplement some studying I’m doing on fluid and electrolytes. I wonder if Tala has a video on it…” Tala (eleven days ago, reading my mind): 😁 You amaze me! Thank you for your clear, concise videos. They help me to be a better NICU nurse.
HAHAHA Alison! We're in your head! Thank you SOO much for taking the time to write your lovely lovely comments, for subscribing, and for being the type of NICU nurse who is always looking to do even better!
Great video as always!! Just here to leave a couple of ideas to talk about so that you never run out of possible content :) - Congestive heart failure and drugs to treat it - Jaundice in the first 24h of life - The very first moments of the management of a newborn that need help transitioning. What is being done first? In what order?
We love your comments Christoph!!! When you say congestive heart failure- do you mean any heart failure- like from a PDA or VSD, or more specifically with like a myocarditis or from a CHD. We use the word heart failure to describe lots of situations in babies, most of which are very different from adults in heart failure. But we could talk about drugs we use to make the heart pump better? Is that what you mean? We covered a series on jaundice - so maybe take a look there. Let us know if there is something else about jaundice you think we should cover. And YES! The GOLDEN HOUR is such an important topic for a video!!! We need to do that soon! Thanks so much- and keep the suggestions coming :)
Hello Nicole! We're having a really big problem with showing X-rays because everything is copyrighted and we have privacy issues using X-rays of patients we are taking care of.So we'd love to do this if we could get our hands on films!!!!
Wonerfull presentation Dr.Tala.I am following all your presentation .Good continue with new topics eagerly waiting to hear from you. Please talk about pneumothorax in infants.Thank You.
Hello Reena! Thanks so much for all your LOVELY comments. We have pneumothorax on the list- we're just trying to figure out how we can simulate a needle thoracocentsis as well as chest tube placement-without using an actual baby! We promise we'll get there! Thanks!!!
Hello!! Thanks so much for watching!!! We do really need to do this- just not sure how to cover it without it being super super boring! Ha! Maybe we should film lots of short segments covering one electrolyte abnormality each!!! Will happily take any ideas?!!
Yes- that is an important topic. Honestly HTN is pretty rare in the NICU- and so when we have it- the most important thing is to figure out what caused it- and then treat appropriately. Is it a coarct? a clot in the aorta? Steroids? CLD? Renal issues? ETC Well get there though!!!!
Hello Lauren! It's funny- every hospital calls their blood tests by something else. LFTs I get- and we're thinking of doing a quick nugget on those soon. But what is U and E? Urine analysis? FBC is blood count I guess! ha! (Our first videos were on different aspects of the CBC- platelets, WBCS and anemia- so maybe check those out). We're about to put out videos on TPN- so we think we'll follow that with electrolyte videos too. Thanks so much for subscribing and for writing to us :)
Thank you so much. The calories really depends on the age as well as the weight of the infant. All premature infants , 32-33 weeks will likely need at least 24kcal/oz. From 34- term (37 weeks), they'd probably need 22kcal/oz. Generally term babies are on 20kcal/oz formula. This is a rough guide! Lots of variability in sizes of babies, glucose levels etc etc
Ohhh that's a good one. We've just started on the BPD video- so that's great you suggested that now, so we can discuss that in the video itself. Thanks so much!!!
Thank you ma, your videos are always very explanatory and easy to understand. I am a medical student currently in paediatric postings. Pls can you do a playlist on nephrology: nephrotic syndrome, nephritic syndrome..AkI, CKD. Thank you ma
Hello! Thats so great that as a medical student you're looking for alternate ways to add to your studying- so impressive. We really need to start a kidney course- we haven't covered any of those!! Thanks so much for being here!
Hi Jaxson! THANKS SO much!!! Those are excellent suggestions- the BPD will be the soonest- but definitely planning on hydrous and PVL too. We didn't have CHARGE syndrome down at all- so that's a really good one (and more common than we'd think!) Thank you again :)
@@TalaTalksNICU do you think you guys would be able to include the difference between Intralipids, SMOF, & Omegaven in this fluid series? I was recently learning for the CCRN that intralipids can contribute to hyperglycemia due to free fatty acids and glycerol, which increase the rate of gluconeogenesis. What I didn’t find out is if hyperglycemia would be an indication to switch to a different lipid infusion with a different class of FFAs. I also don’t know why we use one over the other, other than to say that smoff and omegaven are easier on the liver for long term use… I just don’t know why they are easier or what the pathophysiology is…
Oh that's such a great idea! We're planning a series on symptoms and what to do about it.... (after heart diseases though!)- so we'll add this to the list!
Hello Bindu! Thanks for watching! Do you mean to listen to heart sounds? or literally how to feel the chest to evaluate whether there is a very active precordium?
Im asking about the dose adjustment in neonatal acute renal failure due to sepsis , im asking about the calcuation of glomerular filtration rate to adjust the dose of antibiotic ,what is your opinion about the schwartz formula؟ , im rely on it for dose adjustment
Hello! That would have been great thing to cover!!!! It depends on which antibiotic is being given- obviously if it’s renally excreted then dosing needs to be adjusted. If it’s a medication we can follow levels- eg gent or vanc then we follow levels early and adjust based on those. If we don’t follow levels then we’ll adjust for the recommended renal dosing. We go based on urine output and Cr generally!
Thank you so much! Also love that you're watching from Pakistan- love knowing where everyone is- and that the whole world is working in the same direction to make babies better :)
hello, i am a nicu nurse from the netherlands. suggestions include NIRS, HeRo, total bodycooling, cadiotonics, neonate seizures, PVL, and sepsis.I look forward to your explanation. The videos are very clear.Thank you very much.

Hope you're well and enjoying your role :)
Hello Mohammed! Thanks for your comment and suggestion. While this is a great topic- most institutions have completely different equipment- and so I'm not sure exactly what you'd like us to discuss? Which ones do you use? Or would you like us to go over generalities? Thanks for being here!
Hello Beverly! Good to hear from you again! Arianna and I have been going back and forth as to how we can best film a neonatal seizure video without an infant having seizures. Part of the problem, as you know is the privacy problems. I could discuss it and 'act' out the seizures, but I'm not sure that would be too helpful??
Hello!!! I’m not sure if you looked but we made two videos on HIE ( if you go to home page you’ll be able to find them?). Maybe check those out and if there’s information we missed or you’d like- then let us know!!

Sometimes it's something in the fortifier they don't like- and we have to try other ones.

Great. Very great
May I add to your marvelous lecture the value of feeding test for such babies, and the danger of hyperosmolar feeding in NEC.
Yes! Those are great points- it was hard picking a few to be succinct!
Great video as always!! Just here to leave a couple of ideas to talk about so that you never run out of possible content :)

Hello!! Thanks so much for watching!!! We do really need to do this- just not sure how to cover it without it being super super boring! Ha! Maybe we should film lots of short segments covering one electrolyte abnormality each!!! Will happily take any ideas?!!
Please do a video on thermoregulation! I would love a video on care of a baby in an isolette/radiant warmer
This is an excellent idea- and also probably the most important thing in the tiny babies- look for this soon!
Thanks Tala
Thank you again so much Themby! Hope you are doing well :)
Awesome 👌
Thanks so much for watching!
Very informative maam tx u so mch being a NICU nurse its helps me to gain knowledge
This comment makes us so happy! Exactly why we started channel! Thanks so much for being here!
Many thanks

Dear Dr Tala and team, ❤❤❤, pls discuss neonatal hypertension, is stat furosemide recommended, thanks 🌹
Yes- that is an important topic. Honestly HTN is pretty rare in the NICU- and so when we have it- the most important thing is to figure out what caused it- and then treat appropriately. Is it a coarct? a clot in the aorta? Steroids? CLD? Renal issues? ETC Well get there though!!!!

So what is the average weight gain per week for preemie baby?
Shooting for about 15-20g/kg per day after first 7-14 days of life or so.
Neonatal seizures please, like examples of neonatal seizure signs and symptoms
Hello Beverly! Good to hear from you again! Arianna and I have been going back and forth as to how we can best film a neonatal seizure video without an infant having seizures. Part of the problem, as you know is the privacy problems. I could discuss it and 'act' out the seizures, but I'm not sure that would be too helpful??
Why does a baby who is large for gestational age have less energy reserves?
Not so much less energy reserve but needs more to satisfy metabolic requirements- so harder to keep up!

some preterm do not tolerate the 24 cal formula
You're absolutely right- sometimes it takes time for babies to build the enzymes or the tolerance to higher calories.
