IPOKRATES: Follow-up of Premature Infants

Date: November 24 – 26, 2009; starts at 09:00 a.m.
Place: Athens, Greece

» Program v PDF obliki

Objectives

This seminar will deal with basic mechanisms of brain injury and brain plasticity after such injury in preterm and term neonates. The early consequences will be presented in detail, especially regarding the neonatal convulsions and risk to develop future postneonatal epilepsy. The long term outcome will be presented with special concern on quality of life in survivors of neonatal intensive care and function in adulthood. Different ethical issues will also be presented, especially regarding withholding and withdrawing treatment as well as the question how far we still can go with preterm labour.
