LAS VEGAS -- Professionals who work with babies and new moms are invited to attend a free education event, “Managing Breast Infection in Lactating Women,” by Souzan El-Eid, M.D., FACS. The event is Wednesday, March 14, 2012, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension facility in Las Vegas, and is sponsored by the Southern Nevada Breastfeeding Coalition.
Some breastfeeding women may develop breast infections (mastitis) or abscesses in their breast during lactation, and the information shared at this event will help health professionals learn the proper treatment options and methods.
Dr. El-Eid’s talk will cover the differences between lactational and non-lactational breast abscesses, as well as treatment plans including antibiotic regimens and surgical options. Dr. El-Eid is known for her expertise in breast biopsies and surgeries, as well as for her breast cancer research. Additional information from the event will cover treatment plans for ongoing breast infections in lactating women, as well as techniques for avoiding future lactational breast infections.
This event is perfect for professionals who encounter breastfeeding moms, including obstetricians/gynecologists, pediatricians, lactation consultants and nurses, as well as support staff in these medical areas. Continuing Medical Education (CME) units are available for physicians, and LCERP credits are available for IBCLCs, as well as Continuing Education for nurses. The free event will include light refreshments.
The Southern Nevada Breastfeeding Coalition of the Breastfeeding Task Force of Nevada was formed to assist professionals and the community who are dedicated to protecting, promoting and educating others on the importance of breastfeeding, and supporting the breastfeeding family. Its mission is to disseminate accurate information about breastfeeding, and promote breastfeeding as the norm for infant nutrition.
