Join many other neonatal professionals and take a short quiz on a cyanotic infant!

And a small hint for full points, if we ask you if you have a CO-oximeter at your unit, just say yes 😎. Sorry for that..

Do you have advice on good (more factual than opionated) summaries about the #letby case?
I started a discussion in the 99nicu forums and would be great with some more background reading

Interesting to see how the Letby case will evolve. One of the neonatology experts assessing the causes of deaths is my former mentor Prof Norman, and another involved person is Prof Lee, both known as sound and well-regarded #NeoEBM profiles.

Interesting paper about European iron supplementation and Epo use in preterm infants, all use iron supplements but big variations in Epo use.
I don't anyone in Sweden uses Epo as standard of care (as suggested by the paper).
