Nonfinancial: Sarah Lauridson has no competing nonfinancial interests or relationships with regard to the content presented in this course.
This is the second part of a two-part course series. Clinicians will learn medical history and clinical presentation of two distinctly different patients who present with dysphagia in the NICU/neonatal period. They will learn from an experienced clinician how to pinpoint items in the history and clinical examination to guide their evaluation and questions for the medical team. Evidence-based therapeutic interventions appropriate to each patient’s course and diagnosis will be discussed. In part two, cases involving patients with congenital esophageal malformations and congenital airway malformations will be presented. Clinicians working in the NICU or doing follow-up for NICU graduates will find this course applicable.
