Neonatal Neuroprotection focuses on safeguarding the developing brain during the most vulnerable period of life. Newborns, especially preterm and critically ill infants, face risks from hypoxia, ischemia, inflammation, infection, metabolic instability, and procedural stress. This session examines evidence-based strategies to prevent or mitigate injury through timely recognition, stabilisation, and integrated neuroprotective care.

Clinicians worldwide continue to seek an Neonatology Conference to stay updated on evolving neuro-monitoring technologies, therapeutic hypothermia protocols, pharmacologic neuroprotection trials, and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes. In this session, participants will explore brain autoregulation, the impact of oxygen and CO? fluctuations, the role of inflammation, and the delicate physiology that shapes early neural connectivity.

A major theme is strengthening pediatric neuroprotection pathways that integrate standardised approaches for HIE, preterm brain injury, IVH prevention, seizures, and sedation minimisation. Case-based discussions highlight how positioning, ventilation strategies, hemodynamic stability, glucose control, and minimal handling all contribute to neuroprotective environments. Participants will also examine how to use amplitude-integrated EEG, cranial ultrasound, and MRI to guide clinical decisions and family counselling.

The session emphasises long-term considerations—developmental follow-up, early intervention referrals, parental mental health, and coordinated post-discharge planning. Attendees will explore global disparities in neuroprotective care and strategies that allow low-resource centres to adopt simplified, high-impact interventions. By the end, participants will feel confident applying neuroprotective principles to daily neonatal care.
