Send us a textIn this episode of The Incubator Podcast, Ben and Daphna sit down with certified birth doula and lactation counselor Latoya Southwell for a wide-ranging conversation about the role doulas play in supporting families before, during, and after birth. LaToya shares her personal and professional path into birth work, and how her experiences shaped a culturally sensitive, trauma-informed approach to supporting laboring people—particularly those from historically marginalized communities.The conversation covers what doulas do (and don't do), how they differ from midwives, and how they advocate for safe, informed, and emotionally grounded birth experiences. LaToya talks candidly about how she prepares clients for unexpected outcomes, including C-sections and NICU admissions, and how doulas can collaborate with healthcare teams rather than be in conflict with them.She also introduces the Baby Café initiative—an informal peer support network she co-founded to reduce isolation and provide postpartum support for new mothers—and explains why preparing families for postpartum is just as critical as planning for labor.This episode is a practical introduction to the real work of birth doulas—and an invitation to rethink how care teams can work together to improve outcomes and experiences for parents and babies alike.

Phototherapy is one of the most effective and quietly revolutionary treatments in public health. Every year, hundreds of thousands of newborns around the world develop severe jaundice and for most, a simple blue light can prevent irreversible brain damage or even death. But access to that light isn't universal.In this episode, we explore the science of jaundice and bilirubin, why newborns are particularly vulnerable, describe the mechanism by which blue-green light helps clear toxic levels from the body, and the global inequality in access to this life-saving intervention. We also highlight public health wins, like the innovative Crib A'Glow device and impactful interventions in countries like Myanmar.From the history of phototherapy's discovery in 1950s England to the modern challenges faced in low-resource settings, this episode brings you deep into the intersection of neonatal care, technology, and global health.Citations:Impact of Universal Bilirubin Screening on Severe Hyperbilirubinemia and Phototherapy Use - PMCFAQs About Phototherapy | Newborn Nursery | Stanford MedicineNeonatal hyperbilirubinaemia: a global perspective - The Lancet Child & Adolescent HealthNeonatal jaundice: phototherapy - PMCBurden of severe neonatal jaundice: a systematic review and meta-analysis | BMJ Paediatrics OpenNeonatal Hyperbilirubinemia: Evaluation and Treatment | AAFPAcceptability and operational feasibility of community health worker-led home phototherapy treatment for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in rural Bangladesh | BMC Pediatrics | Full TextGlobal Prevalence of Severe Neonatal Jaundice among Hospital Admissions: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis - PMCDisclaimer:The information in this episode of Transmissible: A Public Health Podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

Send us a textIn this episode of From the Heart, Dr. Nim Goldshtrom and Dr. Adrianne Bischoff walk through a complex neonatal case involving sudden decompensation shortly after birth. With few early clues and no clear diagnosis, the team discusses how to approach circulatory shock, differentiate pulmonary hypertension from congenital heart disease, and manage critically ill neonates before imaging is available.Using this case as a reverse journal club, the hosts break down relevant literature and decision-making pathways: when to start prostaglandin, when epinephrine makes sense even without low blood pressure, and why relying only on numbers like MAP can be misleading. They also examine the role of therapeutic hypothermia in unstable infants and the potential cardiovascular consequences of cooling.Later, the conversation focuses on left ventricular dysfunction, balancing systemic and pulmonary circulation via the ductus, and using bedside markers like lactate and perfusion to guide treatment when echo isn't immediately available. The episode closes with thoughts on autoregulation, cerebral protection, and the evolving role of emerging technologies in neonatal hemodynamics.A real-world deep dive into diagnostic uncertainty, evolving physiology, and decision-making under pressure in the NICU.

Send us a textIn this episode, we speak with neonatal nurse scientists Dr. Marliese Nist and Dr. Kathy Dudding to explore the evolving understanding of neonatal pain and stress in the NICU. Together, we look at how outdated assumptions about infant pain still influence clinical care, and what providers can do to better recognize and respond to the signs of stress in fragile newborns.Our guests discuss how even routine care can be a source of stress for preterm infants, and why thoughtful, individualized approaches—such as comfort touch and parental involvement—can make a meaningful difference. They also highlight the lack of standardization in pain protocols across NICUs and the limitations of existing assessment tools.This conversation offers practical takeaways for clinicians at the bedside and makes the case for system-wide change in how we approach pain management and developmental care.

This week we speak with Professor Vladimiro Vida of U. Padua about a recent ECHSA large scale study assessing surgical outcomes of newborn cardiac surgery in Europe. What trends have become apparent in the past 10 years and why are outcomes generally better overall in this complex patient group? Why have outcomes for single ventricle surgery not improved as much as other newborn surgeries? Is there a relationship between center volume and outcomes? What interventions might result in improvements in outcomes of Norwood palliation? Dr. Vida provides his insights this week. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.athoracsur.2024.07.023

Send us a textIn this special anniversary edition of the Journal Club, Ben and Daphna celebrate four years of The Incubator Podcast while diving into a compelling lineup of neonatal studies. The episode kicks off with a review of a phase 2 multicenter trial on the safety of furosemide in preterm infants at risk for BPD. Despite widespread Lasix use in NICUs, data on dosing and safety have been lacking—this study finds no significant increase in serious adverse events but emphasizes the need for larger trials to better define its role. The team then explores a study from India comparing 7- vs. 14-day antibiotic courses in culture-proven neonatal sepsis, showing that shorter courses may be safe and effective in select populations.Additional discussions include a randomized trial from Australia evaluating “sigh breaths” during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation and their effects on lung volume and oxygenation, a study examining how kangaroo mother care boosts breast milk intake, and a large Japanese cohort study detailing neurodevelopmental outcomes of infants born at 22–31 weeks. Finally, a meta-analysis on prenatal cannabis exposure underscores risks of low birth weight and preterm birth. With depth, humor, and clarity, Ben and Daphna guide listeners through evidence that shapes neonatal care.

Theodor introduces us to the Consult Cards — a thoughtful, low-tech innovation designed to support families navigating the overwhelming world of neonatal intensive care.Rooted in his love for consults and desire to improve communication during high-stress conversations, Theodor created a deck of color-coded, parent-friendly flashcards that cover essential NICU topics: diseases, respiratory support, nutrition, imaging, and vocabulary. Drawing from his own study strategies and guided by feedback from NICU family focus groups, these cards aim to reduce anxiety, improve understanding, and foster meaningful engagement between families and the medical team.We discuss the process of developing, evaluating, and iterating on the cards, and how Theodor hopes to expand their reach. More than just an educational tool, the Consult Cards empower families to participate actively in their baby's care. If you're passionate about patient-centered communication and innovation in neonatology, this conversation will move and motivate you. For collaboration opportunities, Theodor's contact details are: theodoruzamere@gmail.com As always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

(NEONATAL ISOERYTHROLYSIS ) MEREDITH HODGES - LUCKY THREE RANCH Meredith Hodges of Lucky Three Ranch, Loveland, Colorado shares with us Establishing Management Practices for N.I. (Neonatal Isoerythrolysis) a condition that is more common in newborn mule foals. Discuss a plan of action with your vet to prepare for the N.I. foal.N.I. can threaten the life of your mule foal before it is even born. Proper management during the first few days of the mule foal's life is critically important. It is highly recommended to check with your veterinarian before breeding mules. Testing the mare before delivery is essential. Good records are important for clear communication with your vet. Mule Talk is an Every Cowgirl's Dream production - www.EveryCowgirlsDream.Com www.MuleTalk.Net Meredith Hodges Interviews: www.LuckyThreeRanch.Com/Podcast-Appearances/

Send us a textIn this inspiring and deeply informative episode of The Incubator Podcast, Dr. Audrey Miller, neonatologist at Nationwide Children's Hospital and newly appointed Medical Director of their BPD Service, joins the hosts to unpack the intricacies of chronic lung disease care and her rapid career ascent. Miller outlines the five key principles guiding her team's nationally recognized approach to BPD: ventilator strategies tailored to BPD physiology, aggressive infection prevention, proactive pulmonary hypertension screening, prioritization of linear growth, and uncompromising developmental care.She shares the rationale behind “slow lung” ventilation, the importance of recharacterizing infants as they evolve from micro-preemies to complex chronic patients, and how individualized, patient-driven care often begins by doing less, not more. Beyond technical insights, Miller reflects on the professional mentorship and collaborative culture that propelled her into leadership just two years post-fellowship.She offers candid advice on tackling imposter syndrome, embracing delegation, and building confidence in administration—while remaining anchored in purpose. Whether you're a fellow exploring BPD, a clinician curious about slow lung strategies, or an early-career neonatologist navigating your next move, Miller's perspective is both practical and empowering. This is a must-listen for anyone thinking seriously about the future of chronic care in neonatology.

Send us a textIn this Journal Club episode, Ben and Daphna review several impactful studies shaping neonatal care. They begin with a secondary analysis of the ETTNO trial, which examined whether liberal transfusion thresholds reduce intermittent hypoxemia or improve neurodevelopmental outcomes in extremely low birth weight infants. Despite prior concerns, the study found no benefit to liberal thresholds, supporting current restrictive practices. A JAMA Network Open study follows, revealing that late preterm infants are least likely to receive mother's own milk at 12 weeks, underscoring an overlooked group in breastfeeding support efforts. Dr. David Rube joins the show to discuss a two-year follow-up of the IN-RECSURE trial, which investigated whether lung recruitment before surfactant administration leads to improved long-term outcomes—ultimately showing no difference in death or disability. The hosts also explore a meta-analysis on umbilical cord blood therapy for children with cerebral palsy, highlighting benefits in motor function for younger children with milder CP when treated at higher doses. Additional topics include the association between funisitis and cerebral palsy in extremely preterm infants and the AZTEC trial's conclusion that azithromycin does not reduce BPD. The episode concludes with a review of best practices for discussing autopsy with families in the NICU setting.

Send us a textIn this Tech Tuesday episode, Ben and Daphna welcome Xina Quan, co-founder and CEO of PyrAmes, to introduce a groundbreaking neonatal device: the Boppli. Developed from Stanford research, the Boppli is a non-invasive, wearable blood pressure monitor that provides continuous, real-time readings—without the need for cuffs or arterial catheters.FDA-cleared for babies under five kilograms, the Boppli uses a soft, adhesive-free band that wraps gently around an extremity. Backed by 3,400 hours of clinical validation, the Boppli has shown accuracy approaching that of invasive arterial lines according to the team at Pyrames.Ben and Daphna explore how this innovation could reshape blood pressure monitoring for hypotensive and unstable neonates. Quan shares her vision of the Boppli becoming as commonplace as pulse oximetry in NICUs—empowering care teams with precise, painless data they can finally trust.As she puts it, “Half the battle is having good data—this is a way to finally get it.” As always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.
