Fetal Cardiology Case Reviews will discuss pertinent (emergent) topics for fetal cardiology clinicians and highlight interesting features to aid in learning anatomical differences and the pathophysiology of heart defects. The purpose is to improve the communication amongst the perinatology team and delivery teams thereby decreasing emergency interventions, such as anticipating a need for an atrial balloon septostomy as opposed to a high-risk neonatal delivery leading to an emergent situation, en...

During this activity, pediatric obesity evaluation and management will be reviewed. Additionally, metabolic and bariatric surgery in the pediatric population will be reviewed.

Renal failure in the NICU is increasingly more common yet research regarding its treatment is less commonly known.  During this presentation, common approaches to renal failure will be reviewed.

Kernicterus and severe hyperbilirubinemia are two conditions that have historically not been well explored from a health disparities standpoint. Lack of awareness of the paradox between hyperbilirubinemia severity and kernicterus disparity have led to adverse health outcomes for black infants in the United States. This activity is designed to educate clinicians on the existence of the disparity and offer reasonable approaches to reducing the health disparity and improving care.

Effective quality improvement projects create measurable improvements in patient outcomes. This presentation will address the ability to successfully design and conduct quality improvement and highlights the importance of demonstrating project value to motivate change in behavior.

A fetus diagnosed with fetal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is likely to recur in utero and postnatally. There are ongoing clinical trials to help determine when and how to treat fetal SVT and heart block. This presentation will review current practices and management strategies for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of fetal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and fetal heart block.

Although antenatal corticosteroids are well-known to decrease perinatal morbidity and mortality when administered to pregnant patients with threatened preterm birth, they are given with optimal timing in less than half of cases of early preterm birth. Further, overuse may result in long-term neurodevelopmental risks to the offspring.

Human milk fortification is nuanced by the biological variability of human milk. More evidence is required to validate how we best fortify human milk for the best outcomes. Nevertheless, a standardized approach to neonatal nutrition is still the best way forward in managing our babies.
