Join us on an enlightening exploration through the intricate world of neonatology research with our esteemed fellows, Kylie Bushroe and Erica McArthur.  Kylie gives an in-depth account of her ground-breaking research on tracheostomy placement for babies with severe BPD, a study that covered almost 900 cases over a span of five to six years. She also shines a light on the social determinants that significantly impact the timing of this essential procedure. Simultaneously, Erica delves into the complex issue of pulmonary vein stenosis in preterm infants, based on a database of over 100 infants. Hear them share their experiences, the invaluable mentorship, and the lifelong connections they've made across the country as part of their fellowship.  As always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.
