Episode 31: Apnea of Prematurity

Join Dr. Anna Zimmermann and Dr. Joanna Parga-Belinkie for an honest discussion about apnea of prematurity and the “brady countdown” at the end of the NICU stay that can feel like torture. We discuss definitions, physiology and give practical examples of what may (or may not) qualify as a bradycardia significant enough to warrant an additional 5-7 day stay in the NICU.
