overview

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common issue in preterm/low birth-weight infants. In babies who are less than 1500 g at birth, studies show that the incidence exceeds 30%. Appropriate diagnosis and management of the condition can prevent morbidity and mortality. Current therapeutic options include surgery and medical therapy.

This on-demand webcast will provide an educational opportunity to learn about appropriate diagnosis and treatment options. Clinical considerations, scientific evidence and practical experience will be included on this "hot topic" in neonatology. There is no charge for this activity.

The convenient webcast format of this program provides an opportunity for neonatal nurses involved in the care of preterm infants to update their knowledge and learn about promising new alternatives to treating PDA, based on their individual needs and schedules.

Join us for this free on-demand webcast specifically designed for nurses and nurse practitioners who work with neonatal patients.
