Google www.kangarooboard.com I am specifically talking about resuscitaires in Delivery.

Can anyone recommend a device that stores resuscitation equipment. It would have to be the type that would be used on a resucitaire...........similar to Kangaroo Boards that I have seen. Looking for something to save rummaging in the drawers...similar say tothose drop down toiletry bags that hang up. Thanks.

Not at all familiar with bar codes for checking drugs or breast milk, so bear with me. How many scanners would you need in a NICU?????? I would imagine quite a few depending on size of unit & room lay out, otherwise you would have to be continually finding the scanner. We have a 24 bed NICU & 20 bed SCN.

Interested if you are doing regular re positioning on these infants, say turning from side to side. For example month old corrected 28 weeker 900gms. H/O Klebsiella pneumonia. On HFOV for a week with right upper lobe collapse. Do you nurse supine with head mid line or 3hours with right side up & 1hour any other position. What about chest physio. Thanks

What typr of feeding tube do you use.. The type you replace every 3-7 days? Silastic tubes that are replaced every 30 days? Does anyone know if there is any indication/references the silastic tubes may lessen the incidence of NEC? Thanks Lynda

What brand do you use..Hudson/FisherPaykel ?????? Mask or Prongs or alternate? Anything used to prevent damage to nasal septum? Special nursing care? How do you wean OFF CPAP? Anyone using Bubble CPAP? Any tips/recommendations? I would like to contact someone working at Columbia Mothers & Babies New York re their use of nasal CPAP.......any suggestions how I might do this? Thanks Lynda

Thank you for the article. I have lots of reading/learning to do. We only have the Natus Ear muffs................I think ear plugs may be a whole lot better.

Thanks, I appreciate your reply & your way of explaination. I work in NICU & have been using the Sensormedics in recent times. I must admit I am having a bit of a tough time getting my head around the terms Power & Amplitude. To me it is just so different to conventional ventilation. Also people keep talking about "Centering the Piston" & I haven't figured out whether it really is that important. Can you recommend any online teaching regarding HFOV. Thanks again & well done.

Can you please explain about the piston & the purpose behind centering it?????????
