    #430 - 🏖️ [COOL TOPICS] - Can Early Intervention for Post Hemorrhagic Hydrocephalus Change the Trajectory for Preterm Brains? (ft. Dr. Kelly Mahaney)

    Send us Fan Mail Dr. Kelly Mahaney, Assistant Professor of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Stanford and researcher focused on the role of iron in post hemorrhagic hydrocephalus, joins the podcast to challenge the traditional watch and wait approach to IVH complications. She describes Stanford’s early radiographic intervention pathway, which has reduced shunt dependency from 90% to 45% in reservoir-placed infants, explains why waiting for clinical symptoms means waiting too long, and outlines her effort to build a statewide CPQCC nested network to standardize and study early intervention practices across California NICUs.

    #429 - 🏖️ [COOL TOPICS] - Is the Lymphatic System the Circulatory System We Have Been Ignoring in the NICU? (ft. Dr. Sanjay Sinha)

    Send us Fan Mail Dr. Sanjay Sinha, interventional pediatric cardiologist, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at CHOC and UCI, and Co-Director of the UCLA Congenital Lymphatic Imaging and Intervention Program, opens a new chapter for neonatologists on neonatal chylothorax and lymphatic disease. He explains how to recognize lymphatic mimickers at the bedside, why woody edema should raise the index of suspicion, how MR lymphangiography is reshaping diagnosis and surgical planning, and how early targeted intervention is dramatically reducing NPO time and hospital length of stay in a population that was previously managed with a prolonged watch and wait approach.

    #428 - 🏖️ [COOL TOPICS] - Are Soft Skills Actually the Hardest Skills to Master in Medicine? (ft. Dr. Clara Song)

    Send us Fan Mail Dr. Clara Song, neonatal intensivist with Southern California Permanente Medical Group, Chair of the AAP Section on Neonatal Perinatal Medicine Executive Committee, and founding leader of the Women in Neonatology group, shares the lessons from her Cool Topics talk on quiet power and soft skills in leadership. She explores how communication, emotional intelligence, and servant leadership drive team performance more than technical expertise, breaks down the four personality types every leader needs to understand, and offers a practical framework for structuring communication so every type of team member actually receives the message.

    #427 - 🏖️ [COOL TOPICS] - Are Neonatologists Being Fairly Compensated for the Work They Do? (ft. Dr. Robin Steinhorn)

    Send us Fan Mail Dr. Robin Steinhorn, Professor and Vice Dean for Children’s Clinical Services at UC San Diego and President of Children’s Specialists of San Diego, tackles one of neonatology’s most uncomfortable conversations: compensation. She breaks down how to identify reliable benchmark data, explains why neonatologists are generating more RVUs than ever while pay has not kept pace with workload complexity, addresses gender discrepancy trends in the literature, and offers practical strategies for individuals and division chiefs to use rigorous national data when advocating for fair compensation at the institutional level.

    #426 - 🏖️ [COOL TOPICS] - What Does It Really Take to Build a Medical Home for NICU Graduates? (ft. Dr. Susan Hintz)

    Send us Fan Mail Dr. Susan Hintz, Medical Director of the Fetal and Pregnancy Health Program and Robert L. Hess Family Endowed Professor at Stanford Medicine, delivers this year’s Cool Topics keynote on collaboration, shared purpose, and the lessons learned building high risk infant follow-up infrastructure through the CPQCC. She challenges the neonatal community to move beyond the handoff to a pediatrician and think deliberately about true medical home design, including coordinated care teams, clearly defined roles across subspecialty and follow-up clinics, and better use of community based resources to support families long after NICU discharge.  Support the show As always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

    #425 - 🏖️ [COOL TOPICS] - Are We Missing Neonatal AKI Right in Front of Us? (ft. Dr. Caitlin Carter)

    Send us Fan Mail Dr. Caitlin Carter, Clinical Director of Nephrology at Rady Children’s Hospital and associate clinical professor at UC San Diego, joins the podcast to challenge how neonatologists recognize and follow up on acute kidney injury. She explains why creatinine alone is insufficient, how biomarkers like NGAL can detect tubular injury before function declines, and why AKI too often disappears from the discharge summary. She also outlines published consensus guidelines on post NICU nephrology follow-up, with clear thresholds based on gestational age and AKI severity.

    #424 - 🏖️ [COOL TOPICS] - How Should We Feed the Most Immature Babies in Our NICUs? (ft. Dr. Tarah Colaizy)

    Send us Fan Mail Dr. Tarah Colaizy, Professor of Neonatology at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital and Medical Director of the Mother’s Milk Bank of Iowa, challenges the one size fits all approach to nutrition in periviable infants. She shares the Iowa philosophy of individualized, principle driven feeding management, explains why rigid protocol adherence can backfire in the most immature babies, and walks through her unit’s glycerin protocol for meconium obstruction of prematurity. She also discusses the practical realities of frequent low volume lab monitoring and the importance of patience over speed in enteral feeding advancement.

    #423 - 🏖️ [COOL TOPICS] - Should Neonatology Break Free from Pediatrics? (ft. Dr. Satyan Lakshminrusimha)

    Send us Fan Mail Dr. Satyan Lakshminrusimha, Chair of Pediatrics and Pediatrician in Chief at UC Davis Children’s Hospital, makes a compelling case for rebranding and restructuring neonatology as a field. He argues for adopting the title of neonatal critical care physician, addresses the stark disparity between NICU revenue generation and neonatologist compensation, and outlines a step by step resuscitation framework for the field, from restoring professional identity to establishing a dedicated neonatal residency pathway and ultimately recognizing neonatology as its own independent department.
