Turkish Neonatal Society Advanced Neonatal Respiratory Care Course 2025

The “Advanced Neonatal Respiratory Care Course” is a medical conference organized by the Turkish Neonatal Society and the Union of European Neonatal & Perinatal Societies (UENPS). The event is scheduled to take place on September 19-20, 2025, at the Novotel in İstanbul, Türkiye.
Learning Objectives

Discuss the results of the UENPS survey regarding respiratory care in Turkish NICUs.

Understand non-invasive ventilation in the delivery room, including how, when, and for whom to use it.

Differentiate between synchronized and non-synchronized NIPPV.

Evaluate high-frequency ventilation for the prevention of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD), both invasive and non-invasive.

Utilize lung ultrasound for decision-making in the respiratory care of preterms and evaluate lung ultrasound diagnostic knowledge.

Apply lung-protective mechanical ventilation (MV) strategies in the NICU to prevent BPD.

Understand the state of the art for surfactant replacement therapy.

Manage pulmonary hypertension in infants with severe BPD.

Utilize a laryngeal mask for minimally invasive surfactant administration.

Practice clinical skills through hands-on sessions for surfactant administration with LISA, correct use of laryngeal masks, and lung ultrasound practice.

Analyze and discuss clinical cases featuring difficulties in mechanical ventilation.

Target Audience

Best for Neonatologists, Pediatricians, and Neonatal Intensive Care Specialists.
