Thank you Dr Tala. I love your nicu videos. I am a pg1 and trying to find a video platform for general pediatrics (similar to your style). Any recommendations Dr. Tala ? Thank you again.

[anava]

I have been following your videos for awhile now, and I absolutely love your channel ! Will you be coming out with more patient based scenarios with blood gases and how you would react to them ? Same with PPHN types and interventions you would do for each of those scenarios ?

Dear DrTala, I would like you share the management of neonatal hypoglycemia. Thank you

Hi Dr. Tala! Thoughts on a 46 weeker on nasal CPAP with the following numbers: capillary gas 7.35/68 (co2)/ 43 (o2)/ 37.7 (hco3); when taking an arterial gas the next day the numbers were 7.36/61/107/34.3

[MsPinkDiamonds]
