    meanmaryjean replied to Rayrayma's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Hemodialysis in the NICU

    meanmaryjean replied to BrandNewBabyNurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I like the sedation idea. Our PICU / NICU only do PD and CRRT (Sounds like maybe a transfer is in order to a facility where this is common practice if they truly want to grow her to transplant
