When rounds/discharges are finished, we take calls with a 15-minute in-person response time for emergencies such as neonatal resuscitations. ED calls for consults and admissions don t have as strict of a turnaround time.
Are circumcisions required? No.
Are the pediatric hospitalists required to attend every delivery or just high risk? RTs (along with an RN) attend high-risk deliveries and are well trained in NRP. We are very rarely asked to attend high-risk deliveries ( 1-2x/month) but will be called emergently if the baby is not responding to initial resuscitation with RN/RT, or if baby needs persistent CPAP etc outside of the delivery room.
Patients per day seen on the pediatric Med/Surg floor? Varies, generally 0-4. Average 1-2 during respiratory season
Open or closed Pediatric ICU? We don t have an in-house pediatric ICU. But we do provide some ICU level care (DKA, high-flow nasal cannula) on the floor; and some level 2 nursery care (CPAP, hypoglycemia management, NG feeds, hemodynamically stable sepsis) for the neonates.
Neonatology support? Hospital is available for phone consults and transfers. The transfer team is dedicated NICU staff who will help further stabilize the baby as-needed before transporting back.
