Recent advances in neurologic care for newborns, such as the use of
hypothermia for the treatment of neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI), have
spurred the development of NeuroIntensive Care Nurseries within existing
NICUs. Despite advances in treatment at the referral center,
recognition and timely referral of infants with major neurologic issues,
such as hypoxic-ischemic brain injury is the key to providing optimal
care to these newborns. There is a need for consistency in how
hypothermia is induced in order to provide optimal protection for the
injured brain. Because community pediatricians and neonatal
practitioners care for the vast majority of newborns, education in this
area is vital. This one-day lecture series will cover a variety of
topics related to the advances in neonatal neurological care with an
emphasis on issues pertinent to hypoxic-ischemia brain injury of the
neonate. Nationally and internationally recognized experts will cover
topics including- Updates on current and future use of hypothermia for
treatment of neonatal HI, Plasticity of the Developing Brain,
Monitoring in the Neuro ICU, Future of stem cell therapy for treatment
of neonatal brain injury, Nutrition and the Brain, and Monitoring the
Fetal Brain.Address
