BEAR-Bhutan Emergency Aeromedical Retrieval

As part of the clinical meeting today, we were honored to have Dr Dinesh Pradhan, Neonatologist, join us to share pearls on preventing hypothermia and delivering effective neonatal ventilation.

Hypothermia in neonates can have devastating consequences, significantly increasing morbidity and mortality. The majority of neonates we airlift present with respiratory distress and require timely and effective ventilatory support.

We are also deeply grateful to receive an Embrace Warmer and a Murk’s Oxyflow device, which provides both PEEP and PIP during mechanical ventilation. These vital additions to our service were made possible through generous support from UNICEF Bhutan.

Strengthening our skills and equipping our team with the right tools ensures we continue to provide safe, high-quality care to our most vulnerable patients.

Upon arrival at JDWNRH, she underwent neuroimaging and received the necessary treatment — a true testament to coordinated efforts for timely care.
