SIMPAP, also known as Simple CPAP, is an innovative device developed specifically to provide Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) during neonatal transport. This homegrown solution has been granted an Indian patent (no 507802). Its design is both practical and efficient, weighing around 150 grams and requiring no electricity or elaborate circuitry. Instead, it operates using the pressure supplied by a gas source at a flow rate of 2 liters per minute.
The survival rates and outcomes for preterm and low-birth-weight infants are heavily dependent on effective enteral feeding. These infants encounter distinct feeding challenges, such as variations in their ability to feed and differing nutritional and fluid requirements compared to their normal-birth-weight counterparts.
A custom designed laryngoscope for neonatal intubation current laryngoscopes have design flaws when intended to be used in neonatal population. this has led to significant number of intubation failures. apart from that, the pressure indentation caused by current laryngoscopes cannot be over emphasized.
As the name indicates, POD ICU refers to a mobile single-bed intensive care unit that can be deployed in situations requiring immediate medical attention, such as pandemics, mass casualties, or disasters—whether natural or human-made—where high-quality care is essential on-site.
Neonatal care is getting advanced day by day. using point of care. ultrasound has become a part of daily routine management. however to perform point of care ultrasound one needs to be thoroughly trained to learn on real babies is met with lot of constraints due to ethical issues involved in utilizing real babies for training SIMBU gives a near real life experience of doing ECHO, head ultrasound and lung ultrasound.
Blue light phototherapy is commonly used to treat hyperbilirubinemia, effectively lowering bilirubin levels and minimizing the need for exchange transfusions. However, prolonged exposure can cause side effects, including dry eyes, blurred vision, headaches, and circadian rhythm disruptions, particularly affecting night shift healthcare workers.
