    I love your videos, as a new nurse it's so hard to find information that is neonatal specific and as soon as I found your channel I was so happy, the way you explain things is amazing!

      Thank you so much- this is exactly what we were all hoping for when we started this channel! We hope you love the NICU as much as we do!

    I am a new NICU nurse and just found this page today. The content is extremely valuable and helpful, so thank you for taking the time to break down some difficult to understand subjects. I've learned as a new GN and new NICU nurse that the NICU world is like none other in the hospital! So very much to learn and understand.

    I am a neonatal nurse from the UK and I have found you looking for a video on neonatal blood gases. I love how easy you make it to understand something I have struggled to get my head around and have been hooked on your videos since. Thank you so much xxx

    I've been a consistent viewer of yours for years. Im a NICU nurse and I watch your videos in the morning when Im getting ready for work to get my brain going. Im currently training for the resus team which is really scary to me but I find if I understand why we are doing things I feel a lot better. Seriously I can't thank you enough, you have helped me build my confidence and knowledge!!

    • @TalaTalksNICU
      @TalaTalksNICU  10 месяцев назад

      So you're the one! ha! Really cannot begin to thank YOU enough!!! Those first few videos were tough and Arianna and I were like "Are we going to continue doing this?" and then we'd get a couple of likes and keep going. So we owe a lot to you!!!! Resus team is scary but it's also so satisfying- and you obviously have the natural curiosity for it! So good luck! You'll love it!!! Thanks again XX

    I’ve been a labor and delivery nurse for over 10 years and have never had anyone explain it as simple and understandable as you did! Now I truly understand how to interpret blood gases instead of trying to just remember numbers. Thank you so much! Total game changer!

      I’ve been a midwife for 8 years and every now and then I try to refresh my knowledge on this and it’s always just as confusing every time lol. This presentation absolutely made it so much clearer! I loved the end explaining the association of fetal blood. Ive watched a few videos tonight and I’ve truly learned things in a whole new way.

      @TalaTalksNICU  2 года назад

      Hello! Obviously we've made decisions for infants to be given a tracheostomy (whether from CLD or airway issues) and we've been involved in the care- but neonatologists are not really skilled at trach. care! Would you still be interested in a more "this is when you need one" type video?

    ❤ I’m looking for help! I was an er nurse for 6 years. I left and went to nicu level 3. But for level one and two I didn’t get a good preceptor. I don’t know to manage time. I don’t feel like I know what I’m doing. She didn’t show me a lot and she didn’t give me any tips cause I had experience as a nurse. :(
    If anyone cause help!? I want to leave the unit because I’m struggling so much with time and … everything. Last shift I didn’t get to eat. ❤ please help. I don’t want to be negative and I’m not get much help on the unit. So I’m trying to go on my own and become better.
    Thank you for ANY HELP ❤❤❤

    • @TalaTalksNICU
      @TalaTalksNICU  Год назад

      Hi Rose! I'm SO sorry you're feeling like this. First- the fact that you care and that you want to be more helpful is an excellent sign! Second- having worked for 6 years in the ER, you are used to the routines and all the different procedures- so it's really hard starting at the bottom again. You're used to feeling lie you now what you're doing. Keep going, and asking questions, and offering help, and reading up, and being a positive force in the unit. Don't give up! They will be Lucy to have you :)

      Yes! Nancy! We promise it's coming- we got behind with requests- but we're planning two videos on NEC- probably soon after blood gases. It's such an interesting and important (and tragic) topic. Thanks for watching and giving us a suggestion!

    • @TalaTalksNICU
      @TalaTalksNICU  3 года назад

      Hello Aster. Congratulations on your baby. It is very difficult to make any comments on your baby without a full history and physical exam. I'm sure your baby is in good hands- I hope she is able to wean off CPAP soon. Good luck

  • @karllloydlicup8529
    @karllloydlicup8529 3 года назад

    Hi Dr Tala. How do you manage babies who have metabolic acidosis but with hypernatremia >150meqs serum Na? Do you still give sodium bicarbonate? Thank you.

    • @TalaTalksNICU
      @TalaTalksNICU  3 года назад

      Hello! You bring up a really interesting topic- usage of bicarbonate. During fellowship, if we had a metabolic acidosis with high Na, we'd use THAM, a non-sodium base to help correct the acidosis. Then in late 2000s, more data started coming out that bicarbonate probably doesn't do anything except make us feel better about the numbers (and maybe make the cells more acidotic). So I pretty much stopped using bicarbonate, and instead concentrated more on correcting the underlying cause. The contractility of a NORMAL heart isn't really affected until the pH reaches approx. 6.8, so maybe at that point, you'd consider it. (i.e., give it if infant coding). Cardiologists dealing with an abnormal heart (e.g. a HLHS etc) ask that we use bicarb in these infants because it's such a different population. So my answer would be don't use it, or use anything very sparingly. I'm sure others would tell you differently- so listen and read as much as you can- as you seem to be doing :)

    • @karllloydlicup8529
      @karllloydlicup8529 3 года назад

      Thanks! You’re definitely one of the best neonatologist! I really cant wait for more upcoming videos from you, Dr. Tala! You inspire me to read more and be more critical when it comes to management of my sick neonates patients. ☺️

    • @TalaTalksNICU
      @TalaTalksNICU  3 года назад

      We're so so happy you feel inspired to read- and thank you for the lovely compliment, but I'm sure, as you're probably realizing, the physician is just a small part of the puzzle. It's the entire team- from whoever trains you, to all the people you work with-other doctors, NNPS, nurses, RTs, the nutritionists, ST/OT etc. etc. that determines if a baby is getting the best care or not. Your enthusiasm is infectious though!!! Thank you!
