Most moms will carry her baby to term, while one out of ten will have a premature birth. Prematurity and low birth weights are leading causes of developmental disabilitiessuch as cerebral palsy. A new study involving University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers shows that liquid Epsom Salt may be protective.

Overview:
Each year, about four million people in the United States are admitted to intensive care units with complex medical problems that require the highest level of care. This program covers medical advances in critical care treatment that are enabling people to survive serious health challenges. Topics include including the latest thinking about ventilator support as well treatment for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
Part One:
What is intensive care?
Conditions that may require critical care
Features of a Medical Intensive Care Unit
Role of ventilators
New thinking on ventilator use and oxygen
Recovery period following intensive care
Part Two:
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
ARDS causes
ARDS diagnosis
ARDS treatments

On Monday, November 6, 2006 at 2 PM EST, Join experts from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital of NewYork-Presbyterian for a webcast discussion about CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure). These experts will review aspects of the procedure, take questions from participants and discuss opportunities for working with your hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Units to share best practices.
Bubble CPAP or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure is a low-tech, labor-intensive therapy performed on newborns with Respiratory Distress Syndrome to prevent Chronic Lung Disease. Pressurized oxygen is delivered through prongs in the baby’s nose allowing continuous lung inflation. With Bubble CPAP, babies breathe with istance as opposed to a machine breathing for them. Bubble CPAP is a non-invasive technique unlike alternatives (i.e. surfactant and ventilators, both require intubation.)

Caregivers at Texas Health Resources are using Bubble CPAP — Continuous Positive Airway Pressure — to address the issues that can arise in premature infants born with very low birthweight.
The intent is to reduce chronic lung disease.
Bubble CPAP provides a little bit of boost when babies are breathing spontaneously, to ist their own respirations and help to maintain lung inflation at the end of their breaths.
It is noninvasive and allows new parents to bond with their baby in a way that is not possible when an infant is on a ventilator.

This is my own demonstration of an electronic neonate. It’s a doll modeled after the Baby Think It Over parenting dolls. Many people wanted to buy them so a sister company manufactured them for the general public with slight differences in their electronics and appearence.
