Health Monitoring and Risk Factors for Newborns

Taking care of patients with Down Syndrome requires a careful and multidisciplinary approach. Come and join us with our wonderful guest, Dr. Hannah Keppler, as we go over everything you need to know about managing patients with Down Syndrome in a primary care setting. In this episode, we go over what to look out for during an initial newborn evaluation of a baby with Trisomy 21, the important screening tests and specialist care involved, and why we don’t get routine screening X-rays for atlantoaxial instability.
