http://www.hottopicsinneonatology.org/ For over 30 years, Hot Topics has been THE premiere neonatal conference, with more than 1000 neonatologists and perinatologists from around the world attending each year. The conference features internationally known faculty, poster sessions, critical reviews and debate about promising new therapies, including: O2 Data - The Final Decision Breaking News - Antenatal and Postnatal Steroids Antenatal Strategies to Decrease Neonatal Morbidities and Mortality -
Love it!

This foundation works to end premature birth and other problems that threaten our babies.

Review Journal on perinatal topics -
the PDA: why should we treat it? how should we treat it? when should we treat it? or should we treat it at all?
-
I would like to see some nursing topics at the conference. Any ideas?

-
Predicting outcome - Either you could go for some neuropediatrician, neuroradiologist or ethicist - all choices could be interesting I always find some topic on inborn errors of metabolism interesting, any new developments in this field?
-
Topic: Early prediction of preterm outcome - what do we know? what dont we know?

Sounds great! Will there be an android version, too?

I think this is a good step to allow communication among our members.

There is a study in rabbits comparing different flows with HFO which did not find any difference in effect with different bias flows (cant find the citation at the moment). In a course on HFOV they mentioned that there is no evidence to say which ratio would be more efficient for ventilating patients (Van Kaam). Thanks for the link!
-
We use I:E of 1:1 with the Fabian (we also used 1:2 ratio with Sensormedics). The company suggests to use 8 lpm of bias flow for HFO.

Thats what I had remembered as well - thanks for the link! I did not find anything related to newborns and stress-related mucosal disease. There is weak evidence for PPI to prevent gastric bleeding in pediatric patients http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19770788 PPI at least seem to be effective in achieving higher gastric pH levels in neonates http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3616221/ and http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17204951/ although best dosing advice seems elusive.
-
We have been discussing this on our ward. Should we provide therapy to prevent SRMD ( stress-related mucosal disease) in our neonates that are ventilated, do not get any feeds or are otherwise severly ill? And what therapy do you believe is best? If you know any current evidence please share it!
