  • Just fabulous!

    I am a Veterinarian from Melbourne, Victoria over in Australia. Currently on maternity leave after having my first baby. I stumbled upon your podcast as a way of trying to keep my brain active during this season of life as I’m at home with my little man. I love him so much but he’s not a great conversationalist (only 15 weeks) and having your podcast playing whilst I’m driving or hanging out at home has helped me in so many ways. I’ve always pondered a switch to medicine in a human sense (I’m cu... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#433 - πŸš€ Can a Wearable Incubator Safely Extend Skin to Skin Duration?
Q: What is the plan for broader adoption and trials?
Feasibility studies are ongoing in multiple locations, with an initial small RCT planned in the United States to quantify increases in skin-to-skin time, followed by larger trials to assess developmental outcomes; CE marking in Europe is anticipated next year to enable broader expansion outside the US.
#433 - πŸš€ Can a Wearable Incubator Safely Extend Skin to Skin Duration?
Q: What evidence supports its safety and effectiveness so far?
Current data include safety studies, nurse feedback published in journals, mannequin simulations, and anecdotal patient data showing increased skin-to-skin time, reduced hypothermia during transfer, and improved perceived safety and convenience among parents and staff; randomized trials are planned but not yet completed.
#433 - πŸš€ Can a Wearable Incubator Safely Extend Skin to Skin Duration?
Q: What is the SkinCubator and what problem is it trying to solve?
The SkinCubator is a wearable incubator designed to keep the infant in a thermal neutral environment while allowing continuous skin-to-skin contact with the parent, thereby addressing safety concerns, tube management, and the logistics of transferring a tiny baby for extended bonding sessions.
#415 - Finding Optimal PEEP at the Bedside With Electrical Impedance Tomography?
Q: What does evidence from your paper suggest about identifying optimal PEEP using EIT and how confident should clinicians be in changing settings?
The paper demonstrates that EIT-guided PEEP titration can reveal different optimal pressures than traditional methods, with observed reductions in over-distension and sustained improvements in lung mechanics, though decisions must be individualized and monitored in real time.
#415 - Finding Optimal PEEP at the Bedside With Electrical Impedance Tomography?
Q: Can you tell us what kind of information you are gathering at the bedside with EIT and whether it is qualitative or quantitative?
EIT provides quantitative trend data showing regional ventilation distribution across the chest, which clinicians interpret as a qualitative-to-quantitative picture of how well different lung regions are inflated and how this changes with ventilator settings.
