Learning More About The NICU

EPISODE 45: In today’s episode I visit with a Neonatologist who has been practicing in the academic and private practice settings for over 49 years. He served a ten-year term as a member and Co-Chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) Steering Committee, to create guidelines for neonatal resuscitation. He is an expert in the field of neonatal encephalopathy. He is an educator of patients and physicians and an advocate for babies in the NICU. Guest: Dr. Jay Goldsmith In this episode, we cover asking the important questions, like: • What is the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)? • Who cares for babies in the NICU? • How can I help if my baby goes to the NICU? • How many babies are born prematurely in the United States? If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or supporting someone who is, this conversation is about educating yourself. The goal is to help you feel informed, supported, and empowered.
