Hi! I'm an L&D nurse and had a question for you NICU nurses. When you have a NB with Patent Foramen Ovale, what is the rationale behind using continuous blow-by per NC? I think it has something to do with pressure gradiants, but not sure exactly what; and I can't seem to find this info. Hx on the case that makes me ask: LGA term NB, on O2 originally p delivery, then weaned. About a day later started desatting c feedings, so O2 was restarted. NB was sent for echo, which found PFO, then neonatologist recommended NB have cont blowby RA by NC. This is not a case I am personally involved in, just something that happened in our (small) "well-baby" Nsy that piqued my curiousity about the rationale behind this Tx.
