Jaundice is one of the most common problems facing health care practioners in NICU. As we approach the 50th year of phototherapy this talk will explore some of the outstanding questions concerning diagnosis and treatment. Particular attention to the use of transcutaneous measurement and controversies pertaining to thresholds for treatment below 35 weeks gestational age will be discussed. Lastly we will explore how our current approach to jaundice may influence the risk of developing severe hyperbilirubinemia and chronic bilirubin encephalopathy (kernicterus) in a Canadian population.
Hypoglycemia is one of the most common problems encountered by the practitioner in newborn care. How low is too low and how does the age of the patient influence these thresholds?

On this path we encountered some results that were definitely “sweet” and others that left a “sour” taste in our mouths. In this talk you will be follow the story of our center which produced a cautionary tale that demonstrates that you shouldn’t always believe everything you read!
