In this post, I link to and embed Dr. Larry Mellick‘s YouTube video, Infant Respiratory Failure Emergency, 4:14, Dec. 7, 2021.
A 4 month old 24-week premie presented to the emergency department hypothermic and lethargic. Additionally, the patient hypoxic, retaining CO2 and had severe respiratory acidosis. In this video we demonstrate our team’s management of the infant’s hypothermia and respiratory failure.
