4th Annual Current Perspectives in Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia 2024

 

The 4th annual Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) Symposium, held in September 2024, brought together leading experts and healthcare professionals to explore the latest advancements in the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Hosted by Phoenix Children's Center for Fetal and Neonatal Care, this symposium offered an invaluable platform for specialists to come together to engage in cutting-edge discussions on the pathophysiology of BPD, emerging therapeutic interventions and the integration of new research into clinical practice.

If you were unable to attend, we invite you to view some of the sessions below. These presentations offer an in-depth exploration of the variability in medication responses, the risks and benefits of commonly used medications in the management of BPD, and the novel, pharmacologic treatments that are shaping the future of care.

Registration for the 2025 Symposium coming soon!  Check back for updates!
