Critical CHD - Not to miss on TNE (September 30, 2026)

October 1, 2026: Critical Congenital Heart Diseases Not to Miss on TNE. On September 30, 2026, Dr. Sarah Spénard delivered a teaching session on “Critical Congenital Heart Diseases Not to Miss on TNE” as part of our Neonatal Hemodynamics and Targeted Neonatal Echocardiography (NH-TNE) training program. The course explored key congenital heart lesions to recognize during neonatal echocardiographic assessment, linking cardiac anatomy with physiology and clinical presentation. Topics included duct-dependent systemic and pulmonary blood flow, inadequate mixing, and obstructed pulmonary venous return. A warm thank you to Dr. Spénard for this valuable contribution to our program and for generously sharing her teaching slides. Her presentation is available below.

Guidelines for the admission of a neonate with congenital heart defects in the early post-natal life

June 2nd, 2024 - I have participated to the elaboration of our local guidelines for the admission of newborns with congenital heart defect in the early post-natal life. This is for reference only and must be adapted to your own practices, experiences/expertise and realities.
