Pediatrix’s commitment to clinical and research excellence is evidenced by our comprehensive educational and professional development opportunities offered online or during live sessions.
The Pediatrix® Neonatology Grand Rounds series addresses pertinent controversial issues that influence the clinical practice of newborn medicine. Webinars are held on the first Wednesday of every month from 4 to 5 p.m. Eastern Time.
On July 3, Reese H. Clark, M.D., will review recently published articles that should influence health care decisions for neonates who need intensive care.
Topics covered will include:
- The role of supplementation with human milk-based fortifier, as compared to bovine milk-based fortifier, to reduce the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis, sepsis and mortality in extremely preterm infants exclusively fed human milk.
- The role of human milk feedings in improving health outcomes and reducing neonatal morbidities.
- The safety and efficacy of ibuprofen in the closure of patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants.
- The role of oral valganciclovir for treatment in infants with congenital cytomegalovirus and an abnormal hearing screen.
- The results of a recent clinical trial comparing the Eat, Sleep, Console approach versus usual care for neonatal opioid withdrawal.
- The importance of optimal levels of oxygen saturation in infants born with significant perinatal distress.
