ADDITIONAL DETAILS

IMPORTANT Please note provider should be a pediatric hospitalist with neonatology experience or a neonatologist who is comfortable seeing pediatrics. NICU patients down to 32 weeks, newborn resuscitations and management of 32-week preemies and up. It is about 80% NICU and 20% peds.

We don't do central line placement outside the newborn period (UVC and UAC are technically central lines but only for neonates)
chest tubes, intubations for pediatric patients would most likely occur in the ED. ED docs and anesthesia would typically have significantly more experience here.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Neonatal airway management including intubation
• Management of neonatal air leak/pneumothorax including needle decompression
• Emergent UVC placement (delivery room)
• UVC/UAC placement
• Lumbar puncture
• EKG interpretation

Preferred

• Ventilator management
• Chest tube insertion (neonates)
