| Details | CME Introduction: Metabolic Diseases of Prematurity
Metabolic diseases of prematurity encompass a range of complications arising from immature organ systems and altered metabolic pathways in preterm infants. This session will focus on common metabolic challenges, including hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, hyperbilirubinemia, and electrolyte imbalances, as well as their underlying mechanisms. We will explore diagnostic approaches, monitoring strategies, and evidence-based management techniques to optimize outcomes. Special emphasis will be placed on the role of early nutrition and individualized care in preventing and mitigating these conditions. Understanding metabolic diseases in preterm infants is crucial for improving survival and long-term health.
