Evidence for safety in births that take place OOH is debated for various reasons. Research methods are observational and not controlled or randomized which ...Graduate Nursing Project, Doctor of Nursing Practice, DNP

6 Study of Pain Management Practices in Infants with Gastroschisis in a Level IV Newborn Intensive Care UnitFish, Jennifer2015Gastroschisis is an abdominal wall defect specific to the neonatal population, where the abdominal organs protrude through an opening next to the umbilicus. The severity of the defect varies between patients, but all infants with the diagnosis of gastroschisis will require surgical intervention. Pai...Graduate Nursing Project, Doctor of Nursing Practice, DNP
7 Thermoregulation During Neonatal TransportJensen, Aimee2018Background: Thermoregulation is important during neonatal resuscitation to decrease morbidity and mortality. Thermoregulation can be a challenge especially for infants born outside tertiary care centers requiring transportation. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to improve thermoregulation f...Graduate Nursing Project, Doctor of Nursing Practice, DNP
8 Implementation of Ultrasound Use for Vascular Access in the Newborn ICUNickels, Joshua D.; Chan, Belinda; Schiefelbein, Julieanne2022Background: Peripheral intravascular access (PIV) is one of the most common procedures in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU). However, it is common for neonates to undergo multiple attempts before successful PIV placement can be achieved. Ultrasound-Guided intravenous placement (USG-IV) has been...Graduate Nursing Project, Doctor of Nursing Practice, DNP, Neonatal
9 A Clinical Practice Guideline Promoting Opioid Awareness in a Level IV NICUKendall, Allison2019Problem. Neonates may be exposed to significant amounts of opioids in the NICU. The objective of this project was to investigate opioid exposure of neonates in a level IV NICU, enhance provider knowledge of this problem through education, and develop a clinical practice guideline to promote increase...Graduate Nursing Project, Doctor of Nursing Practice, DNP
10 Bedside Oxygen Histogram Monitoring in the NICU for Infants at Risk for Retinopathy of PrematurityArslanian, Lindsay A.; Hamilton, Jennifer L.2022Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a vaso-proliferative disease process that is exclusive to premature infants and can be exacerbated by supplemental oxygenation administration. Infants that experience hypoxia and hyperoxia are at an increased risk of developing severe ROP. Bedside oxyg...Graduate Nursing Project, Doctor of Nursing Practice, DNP, Neonatal
11 Increasing the use of Blood Warmers in a Level 4 NICUCanfield, Christy2020Background Blood warmers have been proven to be safe and effective in the adult population in preventing hypothermia induced from transfusions. However, using blood warmers for transfusions is not standard practice in the neonate population, except for exchange transfusions. Infusing warm fluids h...Graduate Nursing Project, Doctor of Nursing Practice, DNP, Neonatal
12 Extended Dwell Catheters in the NICUChenoweth, Kimberlee2017Most infants in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU) require insertion of a device to acquire vascular access during hospitalization and this is the most common procedure in the NICU. New devices are met with uncertainty due to lack of evidence for their use. Extended dwell catheters (EDC) are new...Graduate Nursing Project, Doctor of Nursing Practice, DNP
13 A Post-Operative Pain Management Guideline for Opioid Exposed NeonatesPabst, Erin2020Background:Neonates are commonly prescribed opioids in the NICU for pain management. Prolonged opiate exposure can lead to increased drug tolerance and/or dependence, and result in higher total opiate exposure and suboptimal pain control. Evidence suggests that the use of a standardized pain managem...Graduate Nursing Project, Doctor of Nursing Practice, DNP, Neonatal
14 Quality Improvement Project: The Development of a Feeding Guideline for Neonates with GastroschisisNewton, Adriana2023Background: Gastroschisis is the most common abdominal wall defect treated in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

15 Development and Implementation of A Standardized Pharmacological Approach for Neonatal Seizure Medication in the Newborn Intensive Care UnitRoyce, Jennica2017Critically ill neonates face the potential for numerous complications. One problem that many neonates suffer from are electrographic and/or clinical seizures. Neonatal seizures disrupt homeostasis in the fragile, immature neurological neonatal system. Potential long-term complications of neonatal se...Graduate Nursing Project, Doctor of Nursing Practice, DNP
16 Improving Adherence to an Existing Protocol for Infants at Risk for HypoglycemiaWright, Rachel2020Background: Prolonged hypoglycemia and delays in treatment correlate with poor neurological outcomes and developmental delays in infants. Research shows that infants at risk can be managed successfully with proactive intervention and management until their bodies have compensated. Protocols enhance ...Graduate Nursing Project, Doctor of Nursing Practice, DNP, Neonatal
17 The Development of Neurocritical eLearning Modules for NICU Nurses and Neonatal Nurse PractitionersHearne, Jennifer Ann2019Problem: Infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are at increased risk for varying degrees of neurological injury that can ultimately result in morbidities. NICU registered nurses (RNs) and neonatal nurse practitioners (NNPs) are key stakeholders in providing neonates with appropriate neu...Graduate Nursing Project, Doctor of Nursing Practice, DNP
18 Optimizing time to treatment for Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) for Transported NeonatesDeLaney, Kathryn; Hamilton, Jennifer; Baserga, Mariana; DuPont, Tara2021Background: Most infants requiring therapeutic hypothermia (TH) therapy for Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) are born at facilities without therapeutic capabilities.
