Vygon Neonatology Days 2024

The first 72 hours of life, a global view to improve clinical practice and newborn care

Welcome to the vyneodays for another year!

If it’s your first year and you still don’t know us, we’ll tell you more about these days:

The #VYNEODAYS24 conference was created with the aim of creating a space dedicated to health professionals to share knowledge and discuss the latest innovations in terms of techniques and procedures focused on children.

This year, we wanted to focus on the first 72 hours of a newborn’s life, as these are crucial for its development and in many cases, survival. During this period, adaptive changes essential for extra-uterine life occur and organs are particularly sensitive and vulnerable.

#VYNEODAYS24 will host presentations and face-to-face workshops given by spanish and international experts. The content will address topics such as neurosensory protection, ventilation, safe thermal environment, enteral nutrition and neonatal-family bonding, among others.

In this second edition, the neonatology conference aims to provide attendees with an updated view of newborn care, promote best practices, facilitate the exchange of experiences, promote patient safety and provide continuing education tools.

Why in November? We celebrate this day under the umbrella of the World Prematurity Day celebrated every 17 November. We look forward to seeing you from 21 to 22 November in Valencia and online
