1 Implementing a CPG Screening for Term Neonates for Congenital Heart Disease When Discharged with Supplemental Oxygen: An Evidence-based Quality Improvement ProjectCohn, Zoe N.; Ling, Con Yee J. Hogan, Whitnee; Friddle, Kim M.; Mansfield, Kelly J.2024Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality from a birth defect. Early detection of critical congenital heart defects (CCHD) has improved with the institution of mandatory pulse oximetry screening due to the screening's moderate sensitivity, high specificit...
2 Evaluating Provider Readiness to Adopt an Early Enteral Nutrition Guideline for Infants Undergoing Therapeutic Hypothermia: A Needs AssessmentCraig, McKenna L.; Patterson, Melinda M.2024The incidence of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in the United States is one per 1,000 live births, has not improved in recent years, and is associated with increased mortality despite advances in perinatal care. The long-standing practice of withholding enteral nutrition during therapeutic hy...

10 Creating a Regional Anasthesia CPG to Manage Postoperative Pain in Eligible NICU Patients: A Quality Improvement ProjectKeirsey, Samantha C.; Mansfield, Kelly2024Over 4000 neonates require surgery annually in the United States. The use of opioids for postoperative pain control and sedation during a lengthy stay in the NICU can result in increased cumulative doses, leading to adverse effects in the neonatal patient. Opioid administration may have adverse clin...
11 Implementation of a Tracheal Aspirate Clinical Practice Guideline: A Quality Improvement ProjectMartinez, Rachael2024Infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) are prone to infection, due to immature immune systems and exposure to nosocomial infections. Antibiotics are the most- prescribed medications in the NICU, and are overprescribed, partially caused by nonspecific infection symptoms in neonates. Becau...
12 Implementing a Breastfeeding Establishment Guideline in the NICURivera, Maelee; Knighton, Christina; Patterson, Melinda2024Breastfeeding rates in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU) are suboptimal. Prematurity is a significant barrier to breastfeeding in the NICU. Evidence shows that direct breastfeeding does not increase the length of hospital stay for a preterm infant in the NICU. Local Problem: A level III NICU in...
13 Implementing an Early Mobility Protocol in a Newborn Intensive Care Unit for Infants with a Corrected Gestational Age of 37 Weeks or Greater: A Needs AssessmentWhite, Mckenzie A.; Patterson, Melinda2024Neonates cared for in newborn intensive care units (NICUs) who have lengthy hospital stays compounded with other risk factors, including prematurity, low birth weight, and mechanical ventilation, are at an increased risk of delayed developmental outcomes. Current literature suggests that implementin...
14 The Role of POCUS in Neonatal Lumbar PuncturePatton, Rebecca, A.; Chan, Belinda; Friddle, Kim M.; Mansfield, Kelly J.2024Neonatal lumbar puncture (LP) is an indispensable procedure for diagnosing central nervous system infections. Although nonspecific signs of sepsis present diagnostic challenges, LP remains a cornerstone in evaluating suspected early-onset sepsis. The traditional palpation-guided approach can result ...

17 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). Well-defined standardized gastroschisis guidelines, multidisciplinary team collaboration during guideline development, and sufficient guideline directives regarding feeding progress...

19 De-implementing the Routine Measurement of Gastric Residual Volumes in an All-Referral Newborn Intensive Care UnitTucker, Erin B.2023POSTER
20 The Creation and Implementation of a Neonatal Palliative Care ToolkitWarren, Charise; Bierer, Ryan; Hamilton, Jennifer2023Background: According to the March of Dimes (2020), the infant mortality rate in Salt Lake County, Utah was 5.4 per 1,000 live births, with 69% of these infant deaths occurring during the neonatal period. Advances in perinatal medicine have led to increased identification of fetuses with fatal or li...
21 Postpartum Depression: Development and Evaluation of a Screening Workflow Process in the Neonatal Intensive Care UnitLaBerge, Chloe C.; Anker, Jenn; Hearne, Jenny2023Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) is the most common complication of childbirth. Typically, screening for PPD is performed in the immediate postpartum period, followed by interval screening at the pediatrician office during well child visits. Within the general population, about 10-15% of moth...
22 Increasing Utilization of Extended-Dwell Peripheral Intravenous Catheters in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: A Quality Improvement ProjectShepherd, Laura2023POSTER
23 Increasing Utilization of Extended-Dwell Peripheral Intravenous Catheters in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: A Quality Improvement ProjectShepherd, Laura2023Background: Repeated pain exposure in neonates is often associated with decreases in long-term cognitive and motor outcomes. Peripheral intravenous (PIV) catheterization attempts are a common source of pain. PIVs need to be replaced frequently given the nature of neonatal peripheral blood vessels. E...
24 De-implementing the Routine Measurement of Gastric Residual Volumes in an All-Referral Newborn Intensive Care UnitTucker, Erin B.2023Routine gastric residual volume measurement has historically been the standard of care in many neonatal intensive care units to monitor for feeding intolerance and necrotizing enterocolitis. However, current evidence suggests that gastric residual volume is a poor indicator of these pathologies. Fur...
