PERIPrem: Reduce Preterm Injury | Prof. Karen Luyt |Perinatal Excellence

Описание: Learn how the PERIPrem bundle is drastically reducing brain injury and mortality in premature infants. Prof. Karen Luyt explains the 11 life-saving interventions every neonatal unit needs to implement now.

In this exclusive session hosted by APPNA Pediatrics, Professor Karen Luyt, a leading expert in Neonatal Medicine from the University of Bristol, delivers a masterclass on PERIPrem (Perinatal Excellence to Reduce Injury in Premature Birth). This project represents a revolutionary shift in neonatology and perinatal care, focusing on a bundle of 11 evidence-based interventions designed to protect the fragile developing brain of the preterm infant.

Why PERIPrem Matters:
Preterm birth is the leading cause of neonatal death and long-term disability, including Cerebral Palsy and Intraventricular Hemorrhage (IVH). The PERIPrem bundle addresses the "implementation gap" in healthcare, ensuring that every baby receives the highest standard of care, every time. This video is an essential resource for pediatricians, neonatologists, nurses, and obstetricians looking to improve clinical outcomes through Quality Improvement (QI) methodology.

The 11 Core Interventions Discussed:

Antenatal Steroids: Timing and administration for lung and brain maturation.

Magnesium Sulfate (PReCePT): Essential neuroprotection to prevent Cerebral Palsy.

Optimal Cord Management: Utilizing delayed cord clamping to stabilize circulation.

Thermoregulation: Critical strategies for maintaining normothermia in the delivery room.

Maternal Breast Milk: The role of early colostrum in gut health and immunity.

Caffeine Therapy: Early administration for respiratory drive and neuroprotection.

Probiotics: Reducing the risk of Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC).

Volume-Targeted Ventilation: Minimizing lung and brain injury during respiratory support.

Antibiotic Stewardship: Targeted treatment to prevent neonatal sepsis.

Hydrocortisone: Management of hypotension and lung health.

Parental Involvement: The "Parent Passport" to empower families in the NICU.

By standardizing these "marginal gains," the PERIPrem project has shown a significant reduction in the composite outcome of death or significant brain injury. This webinar explores the data, the challenges of multidisciplinary team (MDT) communication, and the roadmap for global implementation.
