Welcome & Introductions

 

9.15am
Prevention and management of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in the neonatal unit

Dr Theodore Dassios

 

This session will aim to cover:

·      Preventive strategies in cases identified as being at
increased risk of BPD.

·      Invasive and non-invasive ventilation in BPD

·      Evolution of early BPD

·      Early origins and interventions that are associated with later development of BPD

10.05am
Management of Chronic Lung disease of Prematurity outside neonatal unit–           Dr Jayesh Bhatt

 

This session will aim to cover:

·      Developing a pathway (When to refer / involve respiratory team )

·      When to investigate for co-morbidities in severe disease or when difficult to wean (aspiration lung disease, GORD , optimising nutritional management

·      When to consider complex investigations like HRCT Chest, flexible bronchoscopy, complex sleep studies

·      Role of diuretics / steroids / Azithromycin

·      Palivizumab  / RSV vaccines

11.30am
Imaging neonatal lung diseases – a practical guide

Dr Tom Semple

 

This session will aim to cover the role of:

  • Imaging appearances of neonatal lung diseases (including BPD and infant onset ChILD entities)
  • Practicalities of imaging neonates (GA/sedation vs immobilisation devices and faster scanners)
  • IV contrast vs non-contrast (pros and cons)
  • Ionising radiation exposures from CT examinations – shift in risk/benefit balance from old to new scanners
  • Role of the chest radiograph and thoracic/respiratory applications of ultrasound.
  • When to use CT
  • Future prospects in neonatal thoracic imaging
  • Questions / discussion

·      When to refer to SLT

·      What to consider when feeding infants with CLD

·      How to manage feeding issues in infants with CLD

·      Dysfunctional swallow / silent aspiration

·      When to refer for Videofluoroscopy

·      Risk benefit of Videofluoroscopy

14:05
Genetic disorders of surfactant protein dysfunction: when to consider and how to investigate

Dr Atul Gupta

 

This session will aim to cover:

·      Overview of the genetic surfactant protein dysfunction syndromes.

·      Clinical features of the surfactant protein dysfunction syndromes

·      When to suspect this diagnosis

·      How to investigate it
