World Prematurity Day 2022
Individualized Newborn Developmental Intervention Application – Evidence-based (INDIA EBUS) for Preterm Babies
Introduction
Because advances in preterm neonatal survival have overtaken advances in preterm birth prevention, the impact of long-term problems on these survivors is becoming more well recognised. Extreme prematurity's neurologic implications range from moderate behavioural and cognitive abnormalities to severe impairment. The goal of perinatal neuroprotection is to reduce these effects. Let's discuss about how we can make a difference with new and revolutionary INDIA EBUS (Individual Newborn Developmental Intervention Application – Evidence-based & Ultra SMART).
Objectives
At the end of presentation, the participants will be able to
• Enumerate five different aspects of Developmental care of the preterm babies.
• Justify the need of Individualized Developmental Intervention in the NICU
• Explain at least three environmental modifications and stimulation as per the age of the premature baby.
