NE4 - Late Preterm Infants: Decreasing Morbidity and Mortality through Evidence-Based Care
Title: NE4 - Late Preterm Infants: Decreasing Morbidity and Mortality through Evidence-Based Care
Disciplines: Newborn Care (N)
Learning Objectives:
- outline the types of morbidities experienced by late preterm infants
- discuss strategies aimed at reducing risks experienced by late preterm infants
- relate the evidence available to support care of the late preterm infant
Over the past ten years there has been increasing recognition of the morbidity associated with late preterm birth. More recently early term infants have also been identified as being at increased risk for altered long-term outcome as a result of being born early. This presentation will examine these risks and highlight strategies to mitigate the potential complications of birth between 34 and 38 weeks gestation.
