You’re Invited!New guidelines; diagnostic, treatment and monitoring advances; ethical dilemmas; anticipating and preventing complications; optimal patient comfort; staff/family interactions — these are just some of the challenges at the heart of caring for critically ill neonates. Keeping up with these changes and coordinating all facets of the care plan, from treating the disease process to meeting the diverse needs of the family, can turn daily practice into a balancing act. Yet our goal remains constant — to provide the best possible care to our vulnerable patients.

Join us at the 31st Annual National Conference of

Neonatal Nursing, where clinical experts will share their extensive knowledge and experience, and encourage thought-provoking discussions and problem-solving. Whether you’re a nurse new to this specialty or an experienced clinician, the knowledge you gain will help you think critically and practice safely. Return to work energized and with increased confidence in the excellent care you provide!

preconference aaDvanceD neonatal pathophysiologysunDay, June 23

This Preconference will provide an examination of neonatal pathophysiology for nIcU nurses, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists interested in increasing their knowledge of the neonate. course content will provide an overview of various organ systems as well as the physiologic basis of disease states. Although clinical and management correlates will be mentioned during the presentations, the primary focus will be on understanding the pathophysiology.

at the CoNClusioN of the preCoNfereNCe, the partiCipaNt will be able to:• Describe the pathogenesis of selected

neonatal disease states.

• assess and evaluate the critically ill infant’s clinical presentation utilizing an increased understanding of pathophysiology.

at the CoNClusioN of the preCoNfereNCe, the partiCipaNt will be able to:• Verbalize the components of a neonatal

neurological exam, factors affecting the exam, and the importance of communicating and documenting essential findings.

• recognize clinical and electrographic seizures (eeg, aeeg) and discuss seizure management.

• examine the role of neuroprotectors for infants at risk for brain injury, including which agents show promising results.

• Describe hie, metabolic epilepsies and perinatal strokes, and identify symptoms, diagnostic tests and available treatment options.

• identify the benefits and risks associated with current imaging and monitoring techniques.

preconference b brain caresunDay, June 23

focused brain care is essential when caring for infants at risk for brain injury, including cerebral palsy, seizures and cognitive deficits. Multidisciplinary neurological assessments, cerebral function monitoring and diagnostic modalities such as ultrasound and MrI enable clinicians to comprehensively evaluate an infant’s neurological status and determine the best possible treatment regime. research continues to lead to innovative approaches to the management of these fragile babies.

our internationally renowned faculty for this dynamic Preconference joins us from the Ucsf Benioff children’s Hospital’s neurointensive care nursery (nIcn), which opened in 2008 as one of the first neuro-critical care units in the country. With a dedicated approach to brain care, the nIcn’s goal is to improve neurological and neurodevelopmental outcomes for very premature infants and full-term babies at risk for brain injury. Join us for a lively discussion of neurological issues essential to the care provided by every bedside neonatal nurse, regardless of practice setting.

Don’t miss golden gate park (25 minutes by bus/light rail) and its gems, the de Young Museum, a state-of-the-art facility that integrates art, architecture and the natural landscape, and the brand new California Academy of Sciences, an intriguing combination of aquarium, planetarium, natural history museum and rain forest – all under one roof!

san Francisco...an accessible city for the visitor with much to see and do.

explore Fisherman’s Wharf with the frenetic energy of fishing boats, street performers and artists. Pier 39 is an extravaganza of shops and restaurants, where you’ll be amazed at the antics of sea lions frolicking in the sun. from here you can hop on a cable car and take in sweeping views of the bay, Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge.

spend some time in Chinatown where fish markets, tea and herb shops, and exotic produce stalls spill onto the street, or North Beach, the Italian quarter, where you can join locals at an outdoor café for espresso and pastry or wander in and out of the tempting delis, bakeries and pasta houses. Your trip to san francisco would not be complete without a shopping spree and this city offers many opportunities for that! from the delightful boutiques of Union and Chestnut Streets to the designer shops on Union Square, you will not be disappointed.

san francisco has a love affair with food and you will find a wide range of cuisines, pricing, and restaurant styles. After dinner, head to trendy soMa, the “see and be seen” club scene, or head back to North Beach and take in Beach Blanket Babylon, the quirky, entertaining and riotously funny musical revue.

conference headquarters will be the dramatic Hyatt Regency San Francisco, with its impressive 20-story atrium lobby and a view from every room. The Hyatt is surrounded by a multitude of shops and restaurants, including the Ferry Building, bustling with a farmer’s Market, gourmet shops and diverse restaurants.

The california street cable car line and embarcadero MUnI and BArT stations are steps from the lobby of the hotel, giving you easy access to all the unique sites and sounds of san francisco.

Come to san Francisco for the conference, and enjoy its amazing cultural, architectural, and natural surroundings.
