Homework: Babies may have apnea due to IVH, hypoglycemia, flexed position, coanal atresia, or sepsis; Caffeine can help decrease inflammation in the lungs, increase long compliance, and increased chemo-sensitivity to increased CO2
This is amazing.. thank you. I love caffeine too.. I was also hoping that you’d comment on caffeine “side effects” and when NOT to use or consider the dosing..such as in Tachycardia, NEC..
You’re right- I should have discussed possible contraindications. Maybe we should make a short video about that? I keep psyching myself up to make shorts- they just don’t seem very us!!
3 reasons to use Caffeine 1. Stimulates respiratory drive to help prevent AOP 2. According to research Caffeine may reduce a PDA 3. As a prophylaxis in the very early preterm infant when close to extubation. 5 reasons why infants have apnea - immature CNS, IVH, Sepsis, Airway obstruction, prematurity.
There are some causes which are causing AOP such as : sepsis, Nec, PDA, IVH, metabolic disorder, hypocalcemia, hypoglycemia Caffeine can give orally or Iv for loading dose is 20mg/kg and after 24 hrs starts maintenance dose of 5 mg/kg if recurrent apnea may increase to 10mg/kg once daily. Thats all my answer 🙏

Any benefit of caffeine for tiny babies on CPAP?
Yes definitely! If tiny babies not intubated - should be on Cpap to prevent events (and hopefully decrease BPD etc)
how about apnea in term newborn ? can you have a detailed video for approaching this kind of situation? thank you from Viet Nam.
Hello!!!! Yes! We should cover this- I really want to start a series of symptoms and then follow it through that way. What we should do next!!!
Thank you so much
Thank you for being here!!!
First comment.. 😘
Love this! Ha! Makes us feel like a real UA-cam channel!!!
Thank you mam ❤
Most welcome 😊
What happens if you bring a baby home and after a month has the events still ? Is that normal ?
