[@madelynhiggins1344]

Hi Dr. Tala! I am new to NICU and I was wondering if you could please do a video about the basics of the oscillator and JET? I am having difficulty understanding the difference between the two. Thanks!! I really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos; I have learned so much from you 😊

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Hello Madelyn- hope you're loving the NICU! We already filmed a couple of videos on the oscillator- and we'll be putting one out on the jet in the New Year. Thanks for the reminder! And thanks for the lovely comments :)

[@Zeldybear]

Thank you Dr. Tala for another great video! The NG/OG tip was helpful and one I will use often! I checked the math on a baby I took care of a few days ago and it worked out perfectly. 😍

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Ugh yes! We're sorry! We have been asked for this several times and haven't made it happen yet. We will make this our New Years series! Thanks so much!

[@shameemmahmood-aberasturi9985]

Where is the NICU professional site? I would love to be apart of it!

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Hi! It's a Facebook group- search for it and then you have to ask to be added!

[@alihand6647]

Could you do a renal talk? Thanks!

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Yes! This really needs to happen on sooner side!

[@neoneo-cz7zh]

I know for direct hyperbilirubinemia no role for phototherapy but some expert neonatologist started phototherapy in an extreme preterm with direct cholestasis with impaired liver functions is that right??

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Hello! This is a great question! Remember that even if the direct bili is high we are still worried about a high indirect bili crossing the blood brain barrier. So for example if you have a 800g baby who is 5 days old. If the total bili is 20- even if 8 of it is direct- that means the indirect component is 12 which is too high for this premie (especially as direct bili can also displace indirect bili from albumin and make it easier to cross). Does this make sense?

[@neoneo-cz7zh]

@@TalaTalksNICU thank you so much for interesting videos I learn a lot from you please continue more and more

[@neoneo-cz7zh]

I hope to see more videos concentrating on extreme preterm resuscitation

[@user-wj8ec7mf1c]

I cant understand number 47

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Just that to you can use the timer on the bed to time an event or a process (so if the infant is having a seizure for example). This was a tip from what of our viewers :)
