Quesrion for NICU nurses

[parlanchina]

My baby with pulmonary hypertension was getting a routine procedure - intubation and PICC line placement. Something went wrong and she felt the poke of the needle and went into a PH crisis. They had to also go up on her sedation because of this. My question is, in your NICU when you have a baby with PH, do you have anesthesiologist present during intubation and PICC line procedure? I feel something went wrong.

As others have said, these are questions you should ask your baby's care providers as we cannot provide medical advice. We wish your baby well.
