2nd Not-So-Scary Newborn
Tricks and Treats of Newborn Care
and Cardiac S.T.A.B.L.E. Pre Conference

Friday – Saturday, October 24-25, 2008
Marriott Northwest Hotel, San Antonio, Texas

The first few hours of a newborn’s life are critical as this is when babies are the most vulnerable to complications. Amazingly, the Unites States has one of the world’s highest infant mortality rates among industrialized nations. Even though mortality rates for infants have fallen slightly in recent years, the Hispanic and African American population has not seen a decrease. South and West Texas has a very high minority population and appropriate pre-natal care is often lacking. Proper diagnosis and treatment of the newborn with minor medical conditions is vital to prevent these minor issues from becoming serious or deadly.

The conference will review important issues and recent advances in the management of newborn patients with common health issues. Participants will receive the latest information in the evaluation and management of numerous medical conditions commonly encountered in with newborn babies. A special Mini-symposium focusing on Infants of Substance Using Moms (ISUM) will be presented. These newborns have medical conditions that are unique and the incidence of ISUM’s is increasing in the inner cities as well as more rural areas.
