Not POCUS, but we are developing a smart NG tube to provide temperature, ECG and airway pressure monitoring in preemies. The MedTech Innovators cohort has a competition for best video. please view the video, and consider voting for us here: lnkd.in/gGabXdmG

Lovely case series from Yaginuma et al showing the potential severity of hepatic calcification with a malplaced UVC - pediatr-neonatol.com/article…. POCUS is the answer! Watch Ben Kozyak's amazing talk here - nicupocus.com/pocus-lines.ht…

Two tremendous NICU POCUS articles on training and program development out this week from the undisputed US champs Maky Fraga and Shazia Bhombal (nature.com/articles/s41372-0…)(nature.com/articles/s41372-0…). And be sure to join neopocuscollab.com for all the latest updates!
I'm arriving late to the lung POCUS party, but this consensus statement (with free full text!) gave me an extra nudge - bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.co…. Great guidance and example images of surfactant deficiency, atelectasis, etc.

Thought of the day: Nobody mastered physical examination in a single day, so expecting to achieve competency from a short #POCUS course or workshop is impractical. Even the best-run sessions are only the beginning of a motivated learner’s journey. Beware of the Dunning-Kruger effect and keep practicing.
Oh, and if you start losing your nerve about ignoring the PDA at day 15-20, remember that the natural history of lung disease of prematurity is to worsen up until day 14-21, and then spontaneously improve... pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3957…

Amazing job by one of our finest medical students @CafroCarol5227 who got an @SocPedResearch award and a clear and loud ovation for her platform presentation in neonatal hemodynamics #PAS2025 @URMed_GCH @NeoHemodynamics #proudmentor
If you only read 1 paper on the PDA this year, READ THIS ONE. 'Very early(<72 hours) or early (<7-14days) routine treatment to induce PDA closure (regardless of hemodynamic significance) ... does not improve outcomes and is not recommended.'

'It is likely that the presence of a PDA is a marker for more extreme immaturity and a biomarker for worse outcomes, but treatments to close the PDA may not significantly impact such outcomes.' If I thought I could carry off a tattoo, that's what I would get!

Thanks Adrianne. This is such a CRITICAL message. Yes there may be variation in response across vascular beds, across doses, across species. But we realistically have NO IDEA whether dopamine is increasing or decreasing the PVR/SVR ratio when we use it in PPHN.

Interesting new product - a hydrophilic ultrasound probe cover (or sleeve for sterile procedures) that is activated by water, and removes/reduces the need for ultrasound gel! I have no relationship with the company, just think it's a wonderful solution: civco.com/products/ultrasoun…
This should be a great session from the Neo POCUS Collab. Register at jhjhm.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Dear #neotwitter and @AAPneonatal - based on a request from some colleagues, I will start posting a #Neographic every Sunday with minimal text so that you can use these figures for your PowerPoint slides. Starting with a simple figure of fetal circulation & PPHN heart @songMD
