1st Luton Neonatal Respiratory Conference - March 2017

 

​

Managing babies with several known respiratory pathologies has always been challenging. Our understanding of such conditions gradually evolved as new evidence emerged. Experts from the field discussed strategies to stabilise premature babies in the delivery room, to provide safe ongoing respiratory support, to help reduce the incidence of broncho-pulmonary disease and to provide ongoing support to babies discharged home.
