First, what is the ideal protocol for BP measurement in neonates?
Realizing that it is sometimes challenging to meet all these requirements in the #NICU.

What are the normal BP values in newborns by gestational age?
In #preterm and LBW infants, in day 1 of life, BP correlates with birth weight and GA. This correlation is not as evident in healthy, term infants.
BP increases in the first postnatal days.

#BornTooSoon
A newborn’s chances of surviving and thriving largely depend on where they are born.
♥️In high-income countries most #BornTooSoon babies survive.
💔In the poorest countries, half of those born at or before 32 weeks will lose their life

Just published: Team uses mNGS + culture-based techniques + negative controls 👉 Identify fungi + bacteria in complex communities in the first pass meconium (stool) of infants☝️Indicates that the neonatal gut microbiome starts to form in the womb: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
2/2 The organisms they identified colonizing the fetal #intestine prior to birth 👉 were identified in the meconium of both term-born and #preterm newborns☝️And machine learning suggested that #fungal gut communities develop in complexity w/ advancing gestational age at birth.
3/3 Quote from paper 👉 “The demonstration of live #microorganisms in the #newborn gut represents a monumental shift from the sterile #womb hypothesis that dominated perinatal biology for the last century...”
