Vygon Neonatology Days 2026

Afrontar los retos neonatales: ¿cómo contribuyen los bundles a unas prácticas más seguras e inteligentes?

¡Bienvenidos a los Vyneodays un año más!

Si es tu primer año y aún no nos conoces, aquí tienes más información sobre estos eventos:

#VYNEODAYS26 es un evento de dos días diseñado para crear un espacio en el que los profesionales sanitarios puedan compartir conocimientos y debatir sobre las últimas innovaciones en técnicas y procedimientos para bebés prematuros y niños.

En esta tercera edición, y por primera vez en Francia, el congreso neonatal tiene como objetivo proporcionar a los participantes una visión general actualizada sobre la atención al recién nacido, promover las mejores prácticas, fomentar el intercambio de experiencias, mejorar la seguridad de los pacientes y ofrecer herramientas de formación continua.

#VYNEODAYS26 contará con presentaciones y talleres presenciales impartidos por expertos de toda Europa, y todas las sesiones se retransmitirán también en línea. Los contenidos abarcarán temas como los retos que plantea la hipotermia en los primeros segundos de vida, la ecografía en el acceso vascular y respiratorio, y la nutrición enteral.

¿Por qué en noviembre? Organizamos estas dos jornadas en el marco del Día Mundial del Prematuro, que se celebra cada 15 de noviembre. Esperamos veros los días 19 y 20 de noviembre en París y en streaming.
