As the field of Neonatal/Perinatal medicine continues to evolve, and new data emerges from rigorous trials, we must keep a watchful eye to ensure that we are offering state-of-the-art care to our patients. In order to stay abreast of the latest developments in this dynamic field, it is our professional responsibility to continually evaluate, educate and update ourselves.
Celebrating the 24th Anniversary of The Fetus & Newborn, this conference offers you the opportunity to step out of the fast-paced NICU environment for a look at the latest innovations in neonatal care. Each year, new issues engage our attention and become the focal points for this conference. Some of this year’s “hot buttons” are stem cell research; options in the management of the PDA, seizures and GE reflux; the treatment of pulmonary hypertension; the latest on preventing serious morbidities such as BPD, NEC and neurologic disability; problems encountered in late preterm infants; and novel approaches to preventing and treating infections. These topics will be thoroughly reviewed during the conference, in addition to the comprehensive coverage of many other aspects of Neonatal-Perinatal medicine.
Presented by a diverse faculty with broad expertise, hands-on experience and national reputations, this conference has something for everyone. Bring your questions and challenging cases ... our expert speakers will give you answers and guidance.
Highlights of this year’s conference include:
- The popular Neonatal Pharmacology Preconference which provides current information on the pharmacologic approaches to a variety of neonatal problems.
- State-of-the-art protocols for management of high-risk infants.
- New technologies and therapies for assessing fetal/neonatal well being.
- Active discussion of current issues, controversies and challenges, ranging from cardio-respiratory disorders and neurologic injury to medical-legal and ethical issues in the nursery.
