#440 - 🔵 [PAS 2026] - What Do We Actually Know About Epinephrine in Neonatal Resuscitation?

Send us Fan Mail Dr. Jayasree Nair, neonatal resuscitation expert, joins Ben to reflect on one of the most humbling realities in neonatology — nearly everything we know about epinephrine use in extensive neonatal resuscitation comes from animal studies, adult data, or pediatric populations, not neonates. She explains why the pyramid of resuscitation research narrows dramatically as you move toward chest compressions and epinephrine, why randomized controlled trials in this space may never be fully achievable, and why collaborative registries like the DRIVE network offer one of the most promising paths forward. She also shares her experience piloting the new NRP NICU resuscitation module and reflects on how the two-year fellowship debate ultimately circles back to the same root problem: the financial sustainability of a career in academic pediatrics.
