OVERVIEW

NEC Risk: Early Identification and Risk Stratification is organized by NICUniversity.

Program Overview:
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an intestinal disease that primarily affects premature and medically fragile infants. NEC causes an inflammatory process that can lead to intestinal tissue damage and death.

This program discusses strategies for timely recognition of NEC and the critical role nurses play in identifying NEC.

This presentation was originally given during the 2019 NEC Symposium in Ann Arbor, MI. The symposium focused on breaking down the barriers of NEC prevention and treatment. It provided the setting for discovery, collaboration, and sustained partnerships on patient-centered research.

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
