I’ve been a NICU nurse almost 2 years now and your videos are the best! They make so much sense and I learn something new every single time!

I'm a neonatologist in Vietnam. I've been working in this area for almost 3 years but I just found your channel recently by accident and it really attracts me to watch all of your videos. Most of things I'm familiar with but I can not explain it thoroughly like the way you present in each video. Keep up this great work and I really hope to watch videos about Inotropes and application of NO inhalation in treatment some neonatal disorders.

studying for my final midwifery exam and these videos have been so helpful in understanding my SCN content. thank you so much for this!!

[alospm]

Me: “I need to supplement some studying I’m doing on fluid and electrolytes. I wonder if Tala has a video on it…”
Tala (eleven days ago, reading my mind): 😁
You amaze me! Thank you for your clear, concise videos. They help me to be a better NICU nurse.

Great video as always!! Just here to leave a couple of ideas to talk about so that you never run out of possible content :)

- Congestive heart failure and drugs to treat it
- Jaundice in the first 24h of life
- The very first moments of the management of a newborn that need help transitioning. What is being done first? In what order?

[adrijanavojinovic]

Thank you for valuable lessons!!! I used to read these concepts from different books...now I can hear them sublimated in short, clear sessions... Thank you, dr Tala

[osamaalagamawy]

Great. Very great
May I add to your marvelous lecture the value of feeding test for such babies, and the danger of hyperosmolar feeding in NEC.

[lannafisher]

Would love a video on blood results, specifically U&E’s, LFTs, FBC and what these results mean 😌

[henrypaknotes]

Thx for all the sharing. As a physio working in NICU, I learn a lot from ur video. The premie’s energy expenditures I did spend lots of time on, but still find that a bit harsh to make them clear. With ur videos, all the obstacles are solved! Looking forward to ur next video. Gd day!
