What to Expect at CHOP’s Newborn/Infant Intensive Care Unit: Expertise & Compassion The Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia 2024-06-09 | Learn what to expect if your baby is admitted to the Newborn/Infant Intensive Care Unit at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). https://www.chop.edu/centers-programs/newborn-infant-intensive-care-unit-niicu Having a baby admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit can be a stressful and overwhelming experience. The goal of this video is to help you and your family understand what to expect when your baby is admitted to the Harriet and Ronald Lassin Newborn/Infant Intensive Care Unit (N/IICU) at CHOP, and to reassure you that your precious baby is being cared for by the best, most experienced team. The N/IICU at our Philadelphia Campus is a state-of-the-art, 100-bed facility dedicated to providing highly specialized care for newborns and infants. It is a Level IV NICU. This means that we are able to provide the highest level of medical care for newborns and infants. As one of the top-ranked units in the nation, we use cutting-edge technology to provide the best care possible for very sick babies with health issues related to prematurity, birth defects, lung, heart and gastrointestinal conditions, and other disorders. We have cared for babies as young as 23 weeks gestation and as small as one pound at birth. Families travel from around the country and the world seeking care for hyperinsulinism, severe lung disease and other conditions. We are a center of excellence for the management of infants with severe chronic lung disease (also called bronchopulmonary dysplasia), and we have special expertise in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). For more than 50 years, we've cared for babies with all types of conditions and congenital malformations. We care for more than 1,200 patients every year. This experience has prepared our team for any and every medical condition present in newborns and infants. Our unit is one of the biggest and best in the world. Your baby’s N/IICU team includes a senior neonatologist, a nurse practitioner or physician assistant, residents and fellows, specially trained nurses, a nurse case manager, dieticians, pharmacists, and respiratory therapists. We have a staff of more than 500 neonatal nurses. This often allows us to assign a dedicated nurse to oversee your baby’s care. At most, one nurse may be assigned to oversee the care of two babies. This allows us to maintain the close-knit feel of a small N/IICU. In addition to our core team of care providers, other team members include physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, child life specialists, social workers, chaplains, music therapists and psychologists, as well as incredibly knowledgeable doctors in every pediatric specialty. We take a personalized approach to care that’s guided by evidence-based knowledge our team has gained over many years of experience. Highly specialized medical equipment and monitoring devices help our team better understand your baby’s needs. We work hard to make our N/IICU a comfortable place where babies can heal and parents can feel at ease and empowered. We make sure you and your family understand the medical devices your baby needs and why they need them, and we encourage parents to participate in decisions and discussions around their baby’s care. There are comfortable chairs next to every bedside, as well as a kitchen and some private sleep rooms and showers available for all N/IICU families. A camera called an “Angel Eye” is attached to your baby’s bed so you and your family can see them remotely. Our N/IICU has bedside pumps, private pumping rooms and lactation consultants. We also have a state-of-the-art human milk management center, where a whole team works to make sure your baby gets the nutrition they need to grow and heal. We encourage family bonding and will guide you and your family on how to be close to your baby. We support skin to skin contact and reading out loud to your baby. We also encourage you to personalize your baby’s room with decorations, photos from home, sibling artwork, and things that make you and your family feel comfortable and relaxed. Child life specialists can talk to siblings about the medical equipment they may see and answer any questions they have. We also offer opportunities for N/IICU families to connect with each other through activities like peer support groups and therapeutic crafting classes. Our entire team is here to support you and your family every step of the way. We encourage you to ask questions, communicate with our team and make use of all the services we offer. Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia also now has a second Newborn/Infant Intensive Care Unit (N/IICU) located within our inpatient location in King of Prussia, Pa. This unit provides level 3 care for seriously ill newborns, including access to surgical subspecialties and expands access to CHOP for critical patients in the greater Philadelphia area.

Golden Hour: Expert Delivery of Babies with Birth Defects The Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia 2024-03-15 | Learn how Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia supports infants with congenital anomalies during the critical first hour after birth. https://www.chop.edu/goldenhour The first hour after a baby is born is an especially critical transition period. This is why it is referred to as “the golden hour.” Babies emerge from the womb, where they’ve been completely supported by their mother, into the world, where they have to breathe and survive all on their own for the very first time. Many babies with birth defects cannot make this transition on their own. The goal of this video — narrated by neonatologist Natalie Rintoul, MD — is to define golden hour care and explain what makes the team in CHOP’s Garbose Family Special Delivery Unit (SDU) the best in the world when it comes to providing it. For babies with congenital anomalies, the care provided in the first hour of life is directly related to their future health, so it is critical to have the most experienced specialists there from the very beginning. For nearly 30 years, the Richard D. Wood Jr. Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment (CFDT) at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) has been one of the largest centers worldwide dedicated to babies with birth defects. With the 2008 opening of our Garbose Family Special Delivery Unit (SDU) — the world’s first birthplace for babies with anomalies within a freestanding children’s hospital — the CFDT introduced a new paradigm of specialized delivery. Our neonatal and obstetric teams were united in one location, eliminating the need to transport fragile infants and keeping families together. This expert team is dedicated to making the most of a baby’s precious golden hour. We deliver the largest number of critically ill infants with birth defects in the nation. We have one of the most experienced teams in the world when it comes to delivering and immediately caring for babies with serious and life-threatening conditions such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), congenital heart disease, spina bifida, sacrococcygeal teratoma, conjoined twins, gastroschisis, omphalocele, cleft lip and palate, fetal lung lesions including CCAM/CPAM, and others. We have been caring for critically ill newborns for decades. The care we provide in the golden hour is the culmination of countless hours of planning and collaboration. Our team members discuss each baby’s needs in detail to make an individualized plan. We also focus on supporting mothers and their partners throughout this process. Our goal is to improve outcomes for the most vulnerable patients by providing resuscitation that is evidence based, that integrates important physiologic data in real-time to help the team perform the best interventions possible, and that is informed by our experience with the previous 6,000+ deliveries in our SDU. In addition to the vast team that cares for mothers and partners before, during and after delivery, we also have a dedicated team of specialists caring for the baby. This team includes neonatologists, neonatal nurses, advanced practice nurses, respiratory therapists, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, pediatric surgeons, pediatric anesthesiologists, and pediatric radiologists. We have developed evidence-based tools to guide golden hour care for each type of diagnosis, and we lecture around the world to share our methods and knowledge. We’ve also created an interactive digital coach that integrates with patient monitors and equipment to guide decision-making. After a baby is born, they are carried to our stabilization suite filled with an expert team that is ready and waiting to provide all the support the baby needs. The team places the baby on a warming bed, assesses their breathing and circulation, and uses state-of-the-art devices to monitor their brain, lungs and heart. This care is often referred to as “delivery room resuscitation.” If a baby needs surgery immediately, they will be brought to an operating room right next door to the delivery room. Once the baby is stabilized, they continue to receive specialized care in the nearby Newborn/Infant Intensive Care Unit (N/IICU) or the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU).

Why do babies get the hepatitis A vaccine? – Healthy at Home with Dr. Handy | CHOP The Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia 2024-03-05 | Listen as Dr. Lori Handy discusses hepatitis A, a virus that causes inflammation of the liver. Symptoms can include fever, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and jaundice. Although some people associate hepatitis A infections with international travel, this virus also causes infections in the United States. Risk factors can include experiencing homelessness, but outbreaks have also been linked to consuming contaminated foods, like shellfish, raw vegetables and frozen fruits, like strawberries. Babies are recommended to get vaccinated against hepatitis A at the age of 1, but vaccination can protect anyone from this virus in the case of a future exposure.00:00 Introduction00:27 What is hepatitis A? 00:53 Risk factors for hepatitis A01:15 Hepatitis A and contaminated food01:43 Hepatitis A vaccineFor more information about the “Healthy at Home with Dr. Handy” series or other Parents PACK programs, please visit our website, http://vaccine.chop.edu/parents.Video created by and for the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

Do DNA Fragments in COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines Cause Harm? The Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia 2024-01-03 | Dr. Paul Offit explains why it’s virtually impossible for DNA fragments in COVID-19 mRNA vaccines to cause harms, such as cancers or autoimmune diseases. Dr. Offit describes what would have to happen in order for DNA fragments to cause harm by explaining three protective mechanisms in our cells that DNA fragments from mRNA vaccines cannot overcome. First, the cytoplasm has immune mechanisms and enzymes that destroy foreign DNA. Second, the fragments would have to enter the nucleus, which requires a nuclear membrane access signal that these DNA fragments don't have. Third, even if they were able to enter the nucleus, the fragments would need to have an enzyme called integrase to become part of our DNA, which they also don’t have. These facts should be reassuring to anyone concerned about a health risk caused by DNA fragments in vaccines.To learn more about vaccines, please visit http://vaccine.chop.edu.

What is the difference between the common cold & “the flu”? – Healthy at Home with Dr. Handy | CHOP The Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia 2023-12-06 | Dr. Lori Handy explains that the common cold is often caused by rhinoviruses, although other viruses, like some coronaviruses, enteroviruses, and adenoviruses can cause the same symptoms. The flu is caused by just one virus, the influenza virus.Symptoms of the common cold include a runny nose, congestion, cough, low-grade fever and tiredness. Influenza can have similar symptoms; however, what really differentiates the flu from the common cold is that some people have much more severe symptoms, including quick onset of high fever, muscle aches, fatigue, significant cough and congestion. They may feel run down for several days. Some people will require hospitalization, and sadly, some will die. Dr. Handy also talks about the influenza vaccine, which is recommended for everyone 6 months of age and older, and the benefits of getting vaccinated. 00:00 Introduction00:29 Causes and symptoms of the common cold 00:53 Causes and symptoms of influenza01:34 Influenza vaccineFor more information about the “Healthy at Home with Dr. Handy” series or other Parents PACK programs, please visit our website, http://vaccine.chop.edu/parents.Video created by and for the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

It occurs once in every 1,000 live births. The hip joint is made up of a ball (the top part of the femur bone) and the socket of the hip (the acetabulum). In infant hip dysplasia, the hip joint may be unstable because: the ball does not settle deep enough (or at the correct angle) into the hip socket, the socket is not deep enough to cover the ball of the femur, or a combination of factors including those above. The symptoms of hip dysplasia in babies are subtle during the newborn period. It is painless in infancy and early childhood but can cause pain and disability later in life if left untreated. At Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), orthopaedic doctors including Wudbhav N. Sankar, MD, assess and treat hip dysplasia in babies. Our team reviews each patient’s case and recommends treatment based on the child’s individual needs and the family’s input. The spica cast – one of the most successful non-surgical treatments for infant hip dysplasia – can be challenging for some families in the short-term, but most agree the benefits far outweigh the difficulty.
