VYHEM P 26
HEMODYNAMICS FOR THE TINY
International Conference on
Pediatric Advanced Hemodynamic Monitoring
October 8 & 9 - 2026
Vygon Hemodynamic Days in Pediatrics 2026
Excellence in Hemodynamic Management
This event is designed for healthcare professionals involved in the care of critically ill neonates, infants, and children who wish to strengthen their understanding and practical use of hemodynamic monitoring.
It is particularly relevant for pediatric intensivists and anesthesiologists, neonatologists, pediatric cardiologists and cardiac intensivists, and anesthesia and intensive care physicians seeking to expand their expertise in pediatric hemodynamics, as well as clinicians interested in translating advanced monitoring concepts into daily clinical decision-making.
Whether you are an experienced professional looking to update your knowledge or a clinician aiming to build confidence in hemodynamic monitoring techniques, including arterial lines, cardiac output assessment, and case-based hemodynamic management, this event is for you.
Interactive sessions, expert-led discussions, and real-world case studies make this event especially valuable for those who want to bridge theory and practice and improve patient outcomes through more precise and individualized monitoring strategies.
