Netals vorige jaren zijn er premieverschillen tussen de polissen. Het is dus belangrijk om uw nieuwe zorgpolis goed te controleren. Past de huidige polis nog bij uw zorgbehoefte? Bent u tevreden over uw verzekeraar? Is er een vergelijkbare polis voor een lagere premie?
Voor uw basisverzekering betaalt u een vast bedrag aan uw zorgverzekeraar. Dit is de (nominale) premie. Uw zorgverzekeraar stelt de hoogte van deze premie vast. Voor kinderen onder de 18 jaar betaalt u geen premie.
Behalve de premie betaalt iedereen een percentage van het inkomen mee aan de zorgkosten. De Belastingdienst int die bijdrage. Heeft u loon of een uitkering? Dan betaalt de werkgever of uitkeringsinstelling dit bedrag aan de Belastingdienst. Dit is de werkgeversheffing.
Als u een aanvullende verzekering heeft, betaalt u daar ook premie voor. Uw zorgverzekeraar stelt de hoogte van deze premie vast.
Voor de aanvullende verzekering betaalt u geen bijdrage aan de overheid.
Wij berekenen het bedrag dat u moet betalen voor de premie volksverzekeringen over uw inkomen uit werk en woning (box 1). Hierbij stoppen wij bij een maximumbedrag, afhankelijk van uw leeftijd. Over uw inkomsten boven dit bedrag hoeft u geen premie te betalen. Het maximumbedrag kan per jaar verschillen.
In de tabel hieronder ziet u de tarieven voor de premie volksverzekeringen over 2022 tot en met 2024. Ook ziet u over welke maximumbedragen de premies in die jaren worden berekend en hoeveel u maximaal moet betalen. Deze tabel is voor personen die het hele jaar jonger zijn dan de AOW-leeftijd.
Misschien hoeft u geen premie te betalen voor een bepaalde volksverzekering. Dan wordt het maximumbedrag dat u moet betalen lager. Als u bijvoorbeeld de AOW-leeftijd hebt bereikt, hoeft u geen premie meer te betalen voor de AOW.
You are needed, and have a unique gift to provide: your milk. The milk from your breasts is something you alone can provide for your baby. It contains invaluable nutrients and immune factors that can make a big difference in the health of your baby and in his development.
The milk produced by the mother of a pre-term infant is higher in protein and other nutrients than the milk produced by the mother of a term infant. Human milk also contains lipase, an enzyme that allows the baby to digest fat more efficiently. Your breastfed premie is less likely to develop infections that are common to babies fed breastmilk substitutes. He will be protected by the immunities in your milk while his own immature immune system is developing.
Your fresh milk is best for your baby. Donor milk must be pasteurized, which kills the infection-fighting live cells (though it is certainly the best alternative when a mother is unable to provide her own milk).
Research has found that breastfeeding is less stressful than bottle feeding for babies, so let your doctor know you prefer to put the baby to the breast when he is ready, instead of using a bottle. To encourage a reluctant baby, you may want to try a special tube feeding system on your nipple or finger. A La Leche League Leader will be able to give you more information about this.
I do want to highlight that the intubation of an ex-premie especially with elevated RV pressures is a high-risk scenario, it is best managed by a provider with experience, in a very controlled setting with optimal team dynamics. Adequate preparation to optimize the patient prior to the intubation as well as the knowledge to manage the post intubation cardiopulmonary interactions are essential. I would highly advise you to re-visit our previous podcast on intubation of the high-risk PICU patient by Dr. Heather Viamonte. Like many Peds ICU conditions, the management of the EX-NICU graduate in the PICU is a multidisciplinary team sport.
New BPD: Refers to abnormal or arrest in lung development (fewer and larger alveoli) and decreased microvascular development in extremely low birth weight infants. In new BPD, we see more evidence of dilated distal lung, less evidence of fibrosis, more typically have an arrest of distal lung development, and still have vascular beds are abnormal. The key here is impaired lung surface area, decreased alveoli, and decreased vascular growth.
Patients with BPD can have persistent respiratory disease, which can be seen as prolonged respiratory support/NICU hospitalization, chronic respiratory distress, recurrent exacerbations, re-hospitalizations, exercise intolerance, wheezing, and increased susceptibility to chronic lung disease in adulthood. These patients may require long-term ventilatory support via an ETT or tracheostomy.
Yes, it seems the take home is that the patient with severe BPD who is intubated in the PICU has vastly different physiologic and radiographic lesions compared to the run-of-the-mill teenager with acute ARDS. Hence a different ventilation and oxygenation strategy is required for the intubated BPD patient in the PICU. BPD subtypes include those with parenchymal lung disease, those with vascular disease (pulmonary arterial hypertension-evaluated at least initially with an echo), and those with airways disease (tracheo-bronchomalacia-evaluated by bronchoscopy). Additionally, a single patient may have more than one BPD subtype for example 28% can have all the above 3 subtypes. (Wu K et al. AJRCC Med 2020).
In terms of labs, lactates, BNP, and NT-pro BNP may be required on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, an Interstitial lung disease panel may also be required on a case-by-case basis. The management of the patient with severe BPD in the PICU is really a team sport, which involves the intensivist, the cardiologist, the pulmonologist, gastroenterologists, and support staff such as the speech therapist and the rehabilitation team. It also involves open discussions with family as these patients are hospitalized long term not infrequently. Family conferences at periodic intervals in collaboration with social workers can help optimize decision making, set goals of care, and allow for facilitation amongst teams.
It is important to prevent hyperoxia by targeting an SPO2 of 92-94%. We also should avoid accepting an SPO2 of 90% as that can cause pulmonary hyper-vascular reactivity and these children can have marked vasospasm. We allow for permissive hypercapnia but avoid marked spikes or swings in PCO2 as long as pH is buffered. If PCO2 is chronically elevated its effect on PHTN is unclear. Elevated PCO2 may be a biomarker for severe parenchymal lung disease.
The biggest point before we go into the specific ventilator strategies is the heterogeneity of lung disease. This is not a two-compartment model as seen in ARDS. There is marked variability of regional time constants, and as mentioned, airway secretions, and pulmonary hypertension in many cases. Some areas of the lung may have normal compliance and resistance, whereas others may have poor compliance and high resistance. In this heterogeneous disease, there are also significant areas of high compliance and low resistance. So if we ventilate these patients with BPD with low tidal volumes, rapid rates, and low iTimes (similar to ARDS), we run the risk of having worse distribution of gas, increased dead space ventilation, hypercarbia, the need for higher FiO2 and radiographically progressive atelectasis.
As such, it is important for users to manage the patient with severe, chronic BPD with high TV. This allows for more gas to fill the lungs. Couple this high tidal volume, usually 8-10 mL/kg with higher iTimes and low rates to decrease the risk of atelectasis.
Yes, Rahul, I want to emphasize weekly meetings with care teams where we can discuss the pros and cons of different approaches. Collaboration with neonatology colleagues is invaluable. Some institutions are developing BPD or chronic lung units within their PICU.
As mentioned, stability in ventilated BPD patients includes tolerance of therapies, care and handling with minimal desaturations/cyanosis or distress. Over time, there may be less reliance on blood gas. We want to trend growth parameters such as weight and length. These children may be on diuretics IV or enterally and thus, we want to hit a sweet spot for fluid balance. Minimize FiO2 and at times we can allow permissive increases in peak pressures. Remember these children have regional over-distension and phasic stretch which may combat increased peak pressures. This is in contrast to ARDS.
Absolutely. I first off want to highlight that this management decision requires transparency and a team-based approach which includes the identification of family/caregivers. A patient requiring prolonged invasive or non-invasive ventilation, frequent bursts of steroids to prevent reintubation, pulmonary hypertension requiring medications, along with other patient-specific factors may need tracheostomy after a few months of life. One large study (Donda K. et al. Peds Pulmonology 2021) reported that 1.4% of patients with BPD had a tracheostomy (87/68K patients studied). It seems that the BPD population necessitating trach, however, is growing.
