How can we work together to ensure the best possible ventilation care for newborns – both in the NICU and in peripheral hospitals?
On Tuesday, March 24, 2026, we will bring together ventilation practitioners, neonatology nurses (regarding ventilation care), NICU neonatologists, and peripheral pediatricians from all over the country for an inspiring theme day full of knowledge, innovation, and practice.
Central question
How can new technologies improve neonatal ventilation care – and what does that mean specifically for your daily practice?
What can you expect?
- Inspiring speakers with practical experience
- The latest technological insights
- Directly applicable tools for the clinic
- Interactive sessions with colleagues from all over the country
