Pediatrix® Medical Group’s commitment to clinical and research excellence is evidenced by our comprehensive educational and professional development opportunities offered online and 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 Sept. 4, Jonathan Swanson, M.D., will address the issue of neonatal acute kidney injury (AKI). Appreciation of neonatal AKI and its associated complications and long-term issues is not well understood in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This presentation will provide evidence for diagnosis and treatment of AKI, as well as generate ideas to improve the care of NICU patients with AKI.
Topics covered will include:
- How to identify patients who are at high risk of developing neonatal acute kidney injury and the role AKI plays in short and long-term patient outcomes.
- Ways of implementing workflow changes to improve the care of NICU patients with regard to kidney health.
