At our virtual meeting this year, the topics discussed included: oxygen therapy for very preterm infants, new surfactant preparations and methods of administering them, optimal ventilation strategies, steroid treatment of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), the assessment of neonatal cardiovascular function, and use of lung ultrasound in neonatology.…”

Sharing Progress in Neonatology (SPIN): Old Favorites – Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia, Patent Ductus Arteriosus, and Necrotizing Enterocolitis plus Some Global Neonatology and the Future of Clinical Trials
