What’s new in neonatal innovation and research this week?

Join Ben and Daphna for a lively Journal Club episode of The Incubator Podcast, recorded after a long NICU day but packed with energy and insight. They begin with an update on the newly released NRP 9th Edition, preview their excitement for the upcoming Delphi Neonatal Innovation Conference, and then dive into five remarkable studies shaping neonatal care.

From the use of CARPEDIEM for renal replacement therapy in the tiniest infants to a meta-analysis on high-dose vitamin D supplementation, the hosts explore how evolving evidence can transform bedside care. They examine a novel trial of nebulized nitroglycerin for PPHN, the role of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in optimizing PEEP for infants with severe BPD, and new insights into NEC risk factors even among exclusively human-milk-fed babies.

With their trademark mix of curiosity, humor, and critical reflection, Ben and Daphna make complex studies both understandable and relevant for everyday NICU practice.
