Track: Perinatal and Neonatal Care

Perinatal and Neonatal Care

“Innovations in Perinatal and Neonatal Care” this session will highlight the most recent advancements in perinatal and neonatal care, with a strong focus on critical areas such as maternal-fetal medicine, neonatal resuscitation, and the integration of advanced technologies in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Participants will explore emerging topics including the use of antenatal corticosteroids for improving neonatal outcomes, advancements in perinatal asphyxia management, and the role of telemedicine in prenatal and neonatal care. The session will also discuss the latest developments in maternal and neonatal nutrition, thermoregulation strategies, and individualized care plans for both mothers and newborns.
 
Neonatal Respiratory Innovations: Explore the latest in neonatal respiratory support, including the implementation of gentle ventilation techniques and the use of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) to reduce the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants. These approaches are crucial in minimizing lung injury and supporting optimal lung development in vulnerable neonates.
 
Maternal and Neonatal Nutrition: The newest research in perinatal and neonatal nutrition highlights the importance of maternal nutrition during pregnancy and the role of fortified human milk in the growth and development of premature infants. Emphasis will be placed on evidence-based feeding protocols that ensure the best nutritional outcomes for both mothers and their newborns.

Infection Control in Perinatal and Neonatal Care: Advances in infection control, including the use of maternal vaccinations and neonatal probiotics, are reducing the incidence of infections during the perinatal period and in the NICU. Effective infection management strategies are vital for safeguarding the health of both mothers and their newborns.

Family-Centered Perinatal and Neonatal Care: Family-centered care approaches emphasize the critical role of involving parents and families in the care of their newborns right from the perinatal period. This session will cover strategies to support parental involvement, address their emotional well-being, and ensure that the care provided is holistic and centered around the family's needs.

Cutting-Edge Neonatal Technologies: Learn how AI and machine learning are advancing perinatal and neonatal care by enabling early diagnosis and intervention strategies that improve outcomes for high-risk pregnancies and neonates. These technologies are enhancing the precision of neonatal monitoring systems and facilitating personalized care plans tailored to the specific needs of each infant.
