Are you still building your NICU protocols from scratch, alone, hoping someone else has already solved this problem? Dr. Christina Muffy Sollinger and Dr. Sarvin Ghavam sent one email to a neonatology listserv asking if anyone wanted to talk about sharing clinical guidelines. Over 120 people responded before the listserv broke. That moment became NeoGuide, a national collaborative now bringing together clinicians from level four academic centers to small rural NICUs around the shared work of practice pathways and implementation science. Because it turns out we are not as divided as our variability suggests. We just never had a place to compare notes. NEC data has shown us that consistency of care matters as much as the specific protocol you choose. NeoGuide is building the infrastructure to make that consistency possible across institutions, not just within them. In this episode Ben sits down with Muffy and Sarvin to hear how it started, what it looks like today, and where it is going. 🎧 Listen now on Apple Podcasts: buff.ly/lODGJkI #nicu #neonatal #babies #medicine #newborn #innovation

Less antibiotics, same vigilance: our @StanfordChild neonatal hospitalist team shows that 10 years in, serial clinical exams in newborns are a safe, sustainable approach to antibiotic stewardship for early-onset sepsis. Read more: publications.aap.org/hospitalpediat…

I think we often do not give enough sodium to our premature babies in the NICU. TPN orders say 2-4mEq/kg/d is enough. This RCT won't change minds that it should be higher, but there was faster growth for the first few weeks on protocol of more Na. publications.aap.org/pediatricsopen…
