    dawngloves replied to 2curlygirls's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We can tape using either a Y or an H, nurses preference, but we must double it. I prefer H's myself. You should talk to your clinical specialist or nurse manager as to what your unit's guidlines

    dawngloves replied to ICURN7's topic in Ob/Gyn

    ICURN7, what type of pt is this to you? I mean is she a home care, OB, ICU. Does she have SCA? I think you are doing the right thing by empathizing with her. It is not your job to give her an opinion...

    dawngloves replied to jack4408's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Not common here. If the baby is going home we start adding Neosure.Easier to obtain and less expensive than HMF. I don't see why you couldn't use Neutramigen for term babies with soy and milk...

    I stand by my post.No matter the setting, DR, newborn nursery, NICU, if your pt is satting less than 95 % and you have no diagnosis, you would be negligent not to give

  17. Don't give oxygen?

    dawngloves replied to LNDRN19's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I have to agree with BBG. I don't want anyone to think they can't give a baby in the nursery o2 because it might be a hypoplast. Even NRP guidlines suggest giving 100% o2 at deliveries and there is no...

    dawngloves replied to RainDreamer's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    There are many monitors out there that adults can use using blood from their forearm. They came out about 5 years ago. I think the technology is improving so much that less blood is required and the...

    dawngloves replied to LizzyL&DRN's topic in Ob/Gyn
