Track: Advances in Neonatal Care

Advances in Neonatal Care

The "Advances in Neonatal Care" session will showcase the latest advancements in neonatology, with a particular emphasis on essential improvements in respiratory support, neurodevelopmental outcomes, and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) technologies. Participants will delve into innovative subjects like the application of surfactant replacement therapies, the latest advancements in high-frequency oscillatory ventilation, and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO). To maximize infant outcomes, this session will also cover developments in parenteral and enteral nutrition, thermoregulation techniques, and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) systems. Individualized care plans and early intervention methods will be emphasized.

Innovative Neonatal Technologies:
Discover how AI and machine learning are revolutionizing neonatal care by providing predictive analytics and early detection tools that help in the timely management of complications. This technology is enhancing diagnostic accuracy and personalizing treatment plans, leading to better outcomes for newborns.

Neonatal Respiratory Support:
New ventilation strategies, including non-invasive ventilation and high-frequency oscillatory ventilation, are improving respiratory outcomes for preterm and critically ill neonates. These techniques minimize lung injury and support better lung development

Nutritional and Developmental Support:
 The latest research on neonatal nutrition emphasizes the importance of tailored feeding protocols and the use of human milk fortifiers to promote growth and development in premature infants. Proper nutrition is crucial for the overall health and long-term outcomes of neonates.

Neonatal Infection Control:
Advances in infection control practices, including the use of probiotics and antimicrobial stewardship programs, are reducing the incidence of infections in the NICU. Effective infection management is essential for the survival and well-being of neonates.

Family-Centered Neonatal Care:
Family-centered care models emphasize the importance of involving parents in the care of their newborns. Strategies to support parental involvement and address their emotional needs are integral to the holistic care of neonates.
