Advances in Premature Lung Protection at UT Southwestern 2023: “Say No to Mechanical Ventilation in Preterm Infants” (RP2310C)

Dallas, TX US
October 27, 2023

This one day conference and workshop will include 3 hours of didactic sessions about the non invasive respiratory support at birth and neonatal care unit. The hands on sessions following will provide training on skills needed in stabilizing extremely preterm infants on continuous positive airway pressure, less invasive surfactant administration using thin catheter, surfactant administration using supraglottic airway and performing lung ultrasound. This activity is unique due to its focus on different aspects of non invasive respiratory support. Our team of physicians are topic experts with multiple publications on this area.

If you are unable to join us in-person for the entire day, please consider registering to attend the morning didactic lectures virtually.
