The most popular, effective, and crucial drug for the care of the infant is oxygen. Recent studies show, however, that unexpectedly brief oxygen exposures can change long-term biochemical indicators of oxidant stress and may have a negative impact on outcomes. Thus, using oxygen has a risk to benefit ratio just like using any other drug. Join us LIVE to learn more about the clinical and scientific perspectives on oxygen utilisation from Dr. Prashant Dixit, Neonatal Intensivist & Scientific Director, Howard Newborn Centre, Mumbai.

Oxygen - Use it like a Drug

“Golden Hour” of neonatal life is defined as the first hour of post-natal life in both preterm and term neonates. The neonatal management in the first hour of life have an important effect on both immediate and long-term outcomes of all neonates. The prime objective of golden hour is to use evidence based interventions and treatment for better neonatal outcome, importantly for extremely low gestational age neonates (ELGAN). The studies that evaluated the concept of golden hour in preterm neonates showed marked reduction in hypothermia, hypoglycemia, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Join this exciting session live by Dr. Prashant Dixit to understand all you need to know about the 'Golden Hour' of neonatal management.
