Pediatric Grand Rounds (RECORDING) The Case for Bringing Precision Molecular Medicine into the Neonatal ICU

This presentation is a recording of a Stanford Pediatric Grand Rounds Session.  World-renowned experts will present the latest research, practice guidelines, and treatment protocols to advance best practices in the care of pediatric patients. These online recordings will provide pediatricians and family physicians with up-to-date clinical information on a wide range of clinical issues encountered in daily pediatric practice. 

This session will present data on major morbidities affecting critically ill newborns in the NICU, focusing on trends over the past decades. Novel approaches to diagnosis and treatments will be discussed and proposed. The overall themes will include genomic and metabolomic trajectories of clinical courses, noninvasive monitoring of physiology and development, and innovative strategies for clinical trials.

1. Evaluate emerging research, updated guidelines, and treatment protocols in order to develop strategies for best practice in the care of pediatric patients.
2. Describe the incidence of major NICU morbidities
3. Explain the impact of genomic diagnosis
4. Propose novel avenues for clinical investigation and therapeutic strategies

In support of improving patient care, Stanford Medicine is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
