Renal / Hospital Administration at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital

Armando Huaringa, MD - Stanford Medicine Children's Health in Palo Alto, CA is a renowned medical facility specializing in neonatology and perinatal medicine. Led by Clinical Associate Professor Alexis Davis, MD, the center offers a wide range of services including cardiac and respiratory care for infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), treatment for differences of sexual development (DSD) and sex chromosomal aneuploidies, and comprehensive care for fetal and pregnancy health. The center is known for its expertise in treating infants with congenital bilateral renal agenesis, as demonstrated by their successful use of angiotensin-II in treating refractory hypotension in a premature infant. Additionally, the center has implemented a point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) program, which has significantly increased the success rate of peripheral arterial line (PAL) placement in neonates, particularly for less experienced providers. The center also conducts observational studies to assess the variability in the continuation of antiseizure medication in infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.Generated from the website
