Dr. Abdul Haleem is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at New York Medical College. He is a board certified Pediatrician and Neonatologist. Dr. Haleem completed his Pediatrics residency from Harlem hospital and his sub-specialty fellowship training in Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine at New York Medical College. He is an Attending Neonatologist at Montefiore North in the Bronx, NY, and St. John’s Hospital in Yonkers, New York.
Dr. Haleem’s clinical interest is measuring bedside tidal volume by using pulmonary graphics in ECMO candidates. His serial and continuous bedside tidal volume (TV) results are consistent with previous reports using more elaborate pulmonary function testing for predicting survival in patients with hypoplastic lungs. He suggest that in the few days after birth, if daily TV measurements reveal values < 3 ml/kg, a formal pharmacological assessment of the magnitude of reversibility of pulmonary vascular resistance should be undertaken in order to help guide medical decision making.
