Tried prone the other night, didn't work. Haha, just giving ya grief! I will rotate them some on the Z-flow if needed, but usually I just change pressure points.

And preemies just tend to do that. It's what they do. Also, PDA? What are their pulse pressures like?

Indianapolis just began offering two new programs at different schools. IUPUI and University of Indianapolis. Within the last year or so.

The best assignment is 2 big fat heart babies! Give me a D-TOGV with a balloon septostomy at the bedside and/or a nice left heart on pressors. I recently took care of an endocardiofibroelastosis with some severe AS, which has been a very interesting learning experience. The sicker the better for me. I don't mind the little ones

What is everyone doing in their practice? When we admit the little 22-25 weekers, we have a "rule" (Don't think it's written protocol) to leave them supine with their head midline for 96 hours to prevent IVH. Unfortunately, not everyone does that, (I don't know why) and some of our newer nurses have even heard of that (a problem with education/orientation). The reason I ask is because I'm writing an EBP paper on this to complete my BSN. I'm also having trouble finding solid research on this, does anybody know of any good studies and articles on this topic? I appreciate the insight. I'm new to the forum, very interested to see what everyone is doing in their neo worlds!
