    omgosh this video explained everything i have always wondered about my time in the NICU! i was adopted out 38 years ago as a very tiny tiny newborn baby. i was born 22 weeks prematurely back in 1984. i was told i had a PDA done a type of heart operation but never fully understood was it was or how it was done or why. i have a big long scar running all across my left side of my body under my arm.
    i also have damaged vocal cords which now makes me sound like i am sick or something. i have a low, soft, raspy speaking voice. wow,thank you ma'am for your video,your awesome!!!!!!! 💗

    If the circulation is not duct dependent I use medical management for sure. Though it might close by its own.
    Early closure of ducts helps in relieving respiratory distress and helps in early discharge.
    We use Actitomenophene as first line drug.

      That's a tough one. If the patient is on 21%, tolerating feeds, growing and with no other issues, it's very difficult to rationalize giving any medications. Institutions and providers all practice slightly differently.

  • @goecmj

    If you do another "potpourri" one, would you include there how you keep track of all the variability in what is and isn't acceptable blood pressures depending on gestational age? At what point (looking at BP only) should we start thinking pressor support vs watchful waiting? Thank you for all that you do!

    • @TalaTalksNICU
      @TalaTalksNICU  Год назад

      This is such a great question JH! We did a blood pressure nugget on widened blood pressures (eg twice diastolic < systolic is wide). A lot of people use the ballpark of gestational age ~ mean arterial pressure. But this is also overly discussed. At bedside the most important thing is how does the baby look like? Good perfusion, pink, active, good pulses, normal HR, good UOP? These should guide us as much as BP. Sometimes trying to improve a borderline BP is worse than just watching it (eg fluid blouses, dopamine etc). So honestly I think the answer would be looking at the full picture- and using GA as a very rough guide!!!

    Preemies that are vented and have a large PDA usually have dramatic swing in Saturations. Is this because you’re loosing oxygenated blood to the ductus? Also, if giving PRBC to keep hct up help with the swinging of sats?

    • @TalaTalksNICU
      @TalaTalksNICU  Год назад +1

      Hello Nicole, that is a great question. Most likely it is because most of the blood is going to the lungs through the ductus, greatly deceasing the perfusion to the extremities. In this way- giving blood would probably improve Oxygen carrying ability. I def try to keep hct higher if there is a significant PDA.

    Hello! Thanks so much for the video. Is the QP to QS ratio similar to the LA to AO ratio?

    • @TalaTalksNICU
      @TalaTalksNICU  2 года назад

      This is a great question Britney. Basically both parameters are trying to predict how bad the left to right shunt is, but they measure different things. Qp/QS is a measurement of flow. (Q stands for flow). So it measures (or estimates) the amount of blood going to the lungs as opposed to the blood going to the body. So for example there's a large PDA, and half of the blood leaving the aorta actually goes to the lungs (in addition to all the blood coming back from the body)- so the Qp/Qs ratio here would be 1 + 0.5/0.5 or 1.5/0.5 so 3:1. This would be horrendous! But I'm trying to make the point!!
      The LA/ao ratio is a measurement of length. So if loads of extra blood is going to the lungs, loads of blood will be leaving the lungs. Where does that blood go? To the left atrium. So if the left atrium is enlarged (compared to the 'width' of the aortic root- which should stay pretty stable), then you can assume that the heart is stressed because of all that extra blood filling the left atrium. Does that make sense??

    At the end of the talk you say that the bigger the baby is the easier the procedure is. I wonder, is there optimal age for doing PDA occlusion for a child, in case PDA is small

      @TalaTalksNICU  8 месяцев назад +1

      Urgh- I think we should get a cardiologist to talk more about this process. Because I think that was too much of a generalization!!!! Sometimes the ducts are too big to close!! And different anatomy can affect how easy it is to close. Generally though the bigger the baby the easier to access the ductus at least!

    If pregnant women shouldn’t take ibuprofen because it can close the DA in utero, would you say that pregnant women shouldn’t take acetaminophen either? Thank you!

    • @TalaTalksNICU
      @TalaTalksNICU  3 года назад

      Hi Hannah! Great question! So really the biggest risk for closure of the PDA (for ibuprofen etc) is after the third trimester. Earlier it can affect kidney function in the fetuses though- so never a good idea.
      Tylenol does not seem to be associated with early closure of the DA- which I can’t explain. Maybe the dose isn’t high enough? Interestingly recent studies do suggest there may be a relationship between Tylenol intake and behavioural problems..

    • @TalaTalksNICU
      @TalaTalksNICU  Год назад +1

      Oooh great question! It hasn’t been shown to be as effective as nsaids but it’s still probably better than nothing- and you don’t have to stop feeding infants while they’re on it! Wish we had better answers about pdas!!!!

    Hi there i would love for you to let me kkow your thoughts, my son who was born full term at 38 weeks and 2 days and is currently 4 months old has been found to have PDA and the measurment is 1mm, cardiologist said that he expects it to close as the great artieries grow and close it, he wss asymptomatic so no symptoms, he is 7.2kg and is feeding well, but i do see that he pulls away from the bottle when i give it to him he is exclusively breast fed, also he started to sweat a few times whilst feeding but the cardiologist said he can not put it to the 1mm PDA. CAn you let me know what your opinion is on this matter and if he is thriving snd gaining weight and doesnt have any further issues should i do the wait it out game?cardiologist also said that there is a very quiet murmur that he was able to hear. Do let me know please as i am extremely stressed out because of this

    • @TalaTalksNICU
      @TalaTalksNICU  7 месяцев назад

      Hello! Sorry taken a few days! It sounds like the cardiologist is completely on top of this and I’m sure they know details much better than me! 1mm is pretty small for a 4 month baby. The symptoms we would see from a concerning pda would be breathing fast and not gaining weight. Sounds like he has neither of those- and so based on everything you’ve said I’d wait it out and see if it closes by itself.

    At what age can this infant with PDA go for surgery.
    What is the drug of choice for PDA

    • @TalaTalksNICU
      @TalaTalksNICU  2 года назад +1

      Great questions Jampel! In the hands of a good surgeon- there is really no baby too small for a PDA ligation (they can do them on jets or oscillators on 700g babies).
      And there is no real 'drug of choice'- historically we have used indomethacin, or more recently ibuprofen. Now more institutions are using acetaminophen (Tylenol)- which may be slightly less effective, but has the added advantage that we can give it enterally and feed through the course.
      Does this answer what you wanted to know?

      If the shunting is left to right there won’t be a ductal difference. If the shunting is right to left there will be! Go watch PPHN video too- that may help?
