Reason #7 I can never go back to adult ICU (or any adult unit)… NICU has ingrained in me to not get excited about desaturations.
Kid’s SPO2 is 71%… just give ‘em a minute. I’m not going to chase their FiO2. I just silence the alarm and maybe verbally encourage them to fix themselves from my porch. “Get it together, baby!”
With adults you just constantly fiddle with their FiO2. No thanks. I’m good.
