A new consensus report from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is fundamentally shifting the approach to managing Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) in preterm infants. This APPNA Peds journal club, presented by Dr. Anum Shah and mentored by Dr. Hussnain Mirza, provides a critical analysis of these new guidelines.

Join a panel of neonatologists and pediatric specialists as they debate the move away from routine early intervention towards a more conservative "wait-and-see" approach. The discussion focuses on a central question: When does the evidence support medical or surgical intervention for a hemodynamically significant PDA (HSPDA), and when is observation superior?

This session covers:
► Detailed breakdown of the 2024/2025 AAP consensus report recommendations.
► The evidence for delaying treatment beyond two weeks of life.
► New objective criteria for defining a hemodynamically significant PDA (HSPDA) using echocardiography.
► Comparison of treatment options: Ibuprofen, Indomethacin, Paracetamol, transcatheter device closure (Piccolo device), and surgical ligation.
► Real-world application of guidelines in high-resource vs. low-resource settings.

This video is essential for neonatologists, pediatric residents, fellows, and advanced practice providers seeking to integrate the latest evidence on PDA management into their clinical practice.
