Just to be clear, is PVR =- Pulmonary Ventricular Pressure
and RA = Right Atrial
Not being a cardiac expert, just want to clarify...
On another track, the crying issue may be one that we don't have to push so
hard to make it more than it is. It's possible that extended, hard crying,
especially without anyone beloved in contact with the baby as it's
happening could set up a hormonal/ chemical and physical state that leads to
actual physical damage/failure to achieve a norm. If we don't really know, but
it make sense physiologically, we can theorize about it. We DO know that
elevated cortisol levels in the brain have long-term effects, yes? It makes
sense to many of us that this is BAD for babies and also for those who are in
their lives to love and care for/with them. But this may be one of those
things we educate about with our common sense and making links with
physiology to the extent we can, without making other claims we can't substantiate.
If we "push" too far into areas we cannot know are causal, I think we lose
credibility in the long run. As many of us have experienced, we are held
to a much higher ethical and academic/educational standard the many other
HCPs or companies who make claims they can't substantiate all the time and
they never seem to lose credibility... Sigh...
