Check out poster 199 on the use of LUS to predict extubation failure. Great work by Dr. Sett #neotwitter #pas2024 #neopocuscollab #pocus #nicu

Hot off the press from our group - early neurodev assessment at 3-4 months CA reliably predicts CP at 2-3 years. Importance of early standardised follow up for high risk infants to implement early intervention. Great work Abdul Razak Atul Malhotra Monash University School of Clinical Sciences
