What a fabulous talk breaking down the physiology of pulmonary hypertension. Thanks @CardioNeo for speaking at our @NWNeonatalODN neonatal conference!

[NW Neonatal ODN @NWNeonatalODN]

Our next speaker joins us virtually from Canada 🇨🇦

Gabriel Altit, Consultant Neonatologist at Montreal Children’s Hospital presenting “Pulmonary Hypertension in the Preterm Infant: Insights and Updates #NWNODN2026

[AMITAVA SUR @allthingssmall8]

@CardioNeo We have this exact one in our unit now. Requiring MAP 9-10 on HFOV VG of 2ml/kg. Was stated on 11-12 but titrated down based on FIO2 response. But I see your point

[AMITAVA SUR @allthingssmall8]

@drbretty Always use NIPPV in < 28 weeks in our unit with greater extubation success

[AMITAVA SUR @allthingssmall8]

Abdominal USG should become routine in suspect NEC @Neofocus_UK

[Katie Chetta @Chetta_milk_lab]

🚨It's finally out! Our unit's diagnostic approach to NEC: A standardized universal protocol for using adjunct abdominal ultrasound at the time of diagnosis for suspected necrotizing enterocolitis | Pediatric Radiology

We will never go back to using abdominal radiograph alone for NEC!

Always trying to drive the message home- BPD is real and we need to be proactive

Best part of conference is catching up and sharing ideas #BAPMtogether @NWNeonatalODN team

[AMITAVA SUR @allthingssmall8]

@AlldoJ @BAPM_Official @NWNeonatalODN @NNAP_RCPCH Non invasive includes all modalities in the analysis. We specifically looked at HFNC in air and found it didn’t influence the numbers

[AMITAVA SUR @allthingssmall8]

Our analysis suggests BPD & s-BPD are increasing over time in UK with more use of NIV at 36 weeks. Interestingly a proportion wean off between 36-40weeks, consideration for optimal time of discharge? https://t.co/c6a1bs8cmf @BAPM_Official @NWNeonatalODN @NNAP_RCPCH #neotwitter

[AMITAVA SUR @allthingssmall8]

@NicUof @BAPM_Official @NWNeonatalODN @NNAP_RCPCH Actually non significant increase in mortality but it might be contributed by deaths <24 weeks

[AMITAVA SUR @allthingssmall8]

@PrakashLogana10 @oshea_jem @drbretty @CardioNeo @Dr_KSGautham @ambaln Not routinely, no.

[AMITAVA SUR @allthingssmall8]

We have implemented routine use of bowel USG with help from radiology for confirmation of NEC. This has helped our surgical referrals. Needs wider acceptance from interdisciplinary teams @mkrettiwt @NWNeonatalODN @draloksharma74 @dr_montasser

[minesh.khashu (tweeting in individual capacity) @mkrettiwt]

SIGNEC DESIGNATED 17TH MAY AS GLOBAL NEC AWARENESS DAY ALONG WITH @NECsociety PLEASE USE THIS DAY AND THE MONTH OF MAY TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT NEC AND TEACH AND TRAIN YOUR TEAMS ON VARIOUS ASPECTS OF NEC, ESPECIALLY QI & NEC
