About
Micropremature infants (born at < 26 weeks’ gestation) have a high risk of mortality or morbidity and are amongst the most challenging patients we care for. We will discuss organizational modifications that could lead to improved outcomes for babies and families.
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to answer the following:
- What is a Small Baby Program?
- Why might a SBP lead to improved outcomes for this population?
- How might a SBP can be developed and sustained?
- What are the potential benefits of SBPs?
- Would development of SBP be right for our service ?
But beyond advances in medical science lies a culture shift that is equally influential in the increasing survival of younger, smaller babies.
The shift is occurring both in the way medicine perceives babies born so early and the hurdles they face, and also in how physicians engage families.
