Title: “Intermittent Hypoxia in Preterm Babies”
Speaker: Peter Reynolds, Consultant Neonatologist and Paediatrician based at St. Peter's Hospital, Chertsey, Surrey, UK. A sponsored lecture by Inspiration Healthcare
Premature babies are vulnerable to repeated episodes of intermittent hypoxia. This can affect vital organs, growth, neurodevelopment, and overall prognosis. Medical interventions and monitoring are often required to manage these episodes and prevent complications.
Dr. Peter Reynolds will be discussing the underlying pathophysiology, what harm it might cause, whether it is always harmful, and what are the medical and nursing approaches to manage it, including some novel concepts.
