Using a photo-opaque cover on the sternum may allow you to use transcutaneous bilirubin measurements while on phototherapy with accuracy.
Spare some pokes to the wee ones!

Neonatologists have been using sodium bicarbonate for 30 years without any evidence to back its use. Setting up @BASEtrial has revealed the huge variation in practice in the UK but the challenge is the lack of equipoise in both directions.

Metabolic acidosis is common in preterm infants. Do you correct it? Acetate in TPN, sodium bicarbonate or no correction? Does this impact outcome? Open access @JPerinatology - rdcu.be/d2gXV - need for high-quality RCTs such as @BASEtrial to guide evidence-based practice

Study finds dose response (in graphic) to skin to skin care (STSC) for #preemies < 32 weeks at birth
Effect seen with a mean of 17 minutes of STSC per day!
We can and should aim to do better!

Dear #neotwitter and @AAPneonatal - based on a request from some colleagues, I will start posting a #Neographic every Sunday with minimal text so that you can use these figures for your PowerPoint slides. Starting with a simple figure of fetal circulation & PPHN heart @songMD

Longer skin to skin care time in the delivery room reaps great benefits with breastfeeding !
Just 45 minutes or more can make a big difference!

Donor human milk reduces the risk of NEC in very preterm infants: RR 0.53, 95% CI 0.37 to 0.76; RD β0.03, 95% CI β0.05 to β0.01; 11 trials, 2261 infants
Probably little or no effect on lateβonset invasive infection or mortality before hospital discharge
