Dear colleague,
We are a group of neonatologists interested in neonatal pharmacology. We have launched worldwide this survey to study neonatal analgesia & sedation management.
We would really appreciate your expertise and input!
We´d suggest you to reflect the current management of analgesia and sedation in your NICU.
The name of the Hospital, that we offer to add at the end of the survey, is requested only to avoid duplicated responses and will be deleted before processing the data. No single person or institution will receive information regarding individual answers to the survey.
The survey will take 10 minutes or less to complete.
In case you have any questions or want to comment on something, you can do so via email carribass@unav.es .
We really appreciate your participation in advance!

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.

Objectives
At the end of presentation, the participants will be able to
• Enumerate five different aspects of Developmental care of the preterm babies.
