    #299 - The Hidden Language of NICU Billing with Dr. Scott Duncan Apr 13, 2025
    Show notes

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode of The Incubator, Ben and Daphna speak with Dr. Scott Duncan, Division Chief at the University of Louisville, about the critical importance of medical billing and coding in neonatology. The discussion explores how accurate documentation and thoughtful use of codes can impact everything from individual reimbursement to hospital funding and staffing. Dr. Duncan explains the key differences between critical care and intensive care coding, highlighting how misunderstanding these definitions can lead to missed opportunities for appropriate billing. The conversation also delves into the complexities of CPT and ICD-10 codes, bundled versus unbundled services, and how Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) systems influence hospital revenue. They discuss how proper coding affects downstream resources, including staffing, and why the financial viability of neonatal units depends in part on getting this right. Dr. Duncan reflects on the need for better education in this area, particularly for trainees, and shares practical resources and upcoming initiatives aimed at helping clinicians build this essential skill set. This episode offers an eye-opening look at a topic often overlooked in medical training, but vital to the sustainability of neonatal care.

    #298 - 🚀 New solution for non-invasive blood pressure monitoring in the NICU Apr 09, 2025
    Show notes

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this Tech Tuesday episode, Ben and Daphna welcome Xina Quan, co-founder and CEO of PyrAmes, to introduce a groundbreaking neonatal device: the Boppli. Developed from Stanford research, the Boppli is a non-invasive, wearable blood pressure monitor that provides continuous, real-time readings—without the need for cuffs or arterial catheters.

    FDA-cleared for babies under five kilograms, the Boppli uses a soft, adhesive-free band that wraps gently around an extremity. Backed by 3,400 hours of clinical validation, the Boppli has shown accuracy approaching that of invasive arterial lines according to the team at Pyrames.

    Ben and Daphna explore how this innovation could reshape blood pressure monitoring for hypotensive and unstable neonates. Quan shares her vision of the Boppli becoming as commonplace as pulse oximetry in NICUs—empowering care teams with precise, painless data they can finally trust.

    As she puts it, “Half the battle is having good data—this is a way to finally get it.”

    #297 - 📑 Journal Club - The Complete Episode from April 6th 2025 Apr 06, 2025
    Show notes

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this week’s Journal Club, Ben and Daphna dissect six critical studies reshaping our understanding of neonatal care. Kicking off with the Canadian Neonatal Network’s multicenter cohort on inhaled nitric oxide (iNO), they explore how early pulmonary hypertension responsiveness to iNO may predict survival in preterm infants. They then examine a poignant study on maternal decision regret following extremely preterm births, revealing elevated regret across all pathways—comfort, active care, or otherwise—underscoring the emotional complexity of shared decision-making. The duo dives into data from the NICHD Neonatal Research Network on how even a single dose of antenatal steroids improves outcomes incrementally by the hour, strengthening the case for early administration. Ben highlights an AI-driven TPN algorithm that may outperform clinicians in individualized nutrition planning, while Daphna introduces an unexpected intervention—xylitol chewing gum—to reduce preterm birth in low-resource settings. Rounding out the discussion is a provocative look at intermittent hypoxemia as a predictor of systemic hypertension and the landmark NICHD trial on therapeutic hypothermia for infants 33–35 weeks GA. With a striking 87% probability of harm, this trial challenges the current drift toward “cooling creep.” Essential listening for any neonatologist seeking evidence-based clarity in an ever-evolving field.
