The monthly Obstetrics Grand Rounds Series will present topics on diagnosis and management of normal and complicated pregnancy, including routine and advanced obstetrical ultrasound. The series aims to review evidence-based standards of care and to provide contemporary, state-of-the art updates on topics where new information is available. At the conclusion of the activity, learners will implement at least one strategy, new technique(s), or intervention(s) to identify the specific ultrasound fin...

Current NICU practice shows significant variability in how clinicians initiate feeds, wean TPN, and implement fortification, leading to inconsistent nutrient delivery and preventable growth deficits during the transition to full enteral feeds. The ideal state is a standardized, evidence-based approach that ensures timely, safe progression while maintaining adequate calories and protein. At the conclusion of the activity, learners will assess operational best practices including standardized feed...

This presentation will explain current research on neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) and non-invasive NAVA (NIV-NAVA). Physiological principles, neural triggering, setup, titration, troubleshooting, and safety considerations will be discussed. At the conclusion of the activity, learners will assess whether changes in ventilation therapy are needed and, if so, implement at least one strategy, new technique(s), or intervention(s) to assist in clinical decision-making.

This educational activity reviews the updated American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Fetus and Newborn (COFN) clinical report on therapeutic hypothermia (TH) for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Participants will examine the evidence base that established TH as a standard of care for term and near-term infants with moderate-to-severe HIE and review key studies published since the original 2014 report that informed the most recent recommendations. The presentation highlights a...

Surfactant use varies widely across NICUs in the United States. This presentation will review surfactant therapy for preterm infants with Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS), covering current practices, evidence from major trials, emerging non-invasive techniques, and future therapeutic directions. At the conclusion of the activity, learners will critically evaluate current interventions in their own units to determine if changes to surfactant protocols are merited and if so, implement at least ...
