CPAP & Non Invasive Ventilation Workshops 2010 - Science, Evidence & Practice (Calendar for the year 2010)
Continuous positive airway pressure is boon for babies with RDS. It is the most effective low cost strategy for reducing mortality and avoiding upward referral to higher centre, if used early and in a correct manner. With this in mind, a team of real dedicated Teachers (4 to 5 spread all across India) plan to conduct Workshops for health providers. The workshops will be fully supported by registration fees from participants,with no sponsorships from industries/equipments/pharmaceuticals. The equipment manufacturer would be permitted to bring instruments for demonstration and given feedback to improve the quality of their product during the workshop and on continuing basis. Teaching Learning CD Rom will be provided to the participants.
If interested contact Dr. Ashok Deorari, AIIMS or Dr. Praveen Kumar, PGI, Chandigarh.
