AbstractThe authors sought to measure and compare practice preference variation in neonatal respiratory care within and between neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) using the Neonatology Survey of Interdisciplinary Groups in Healthcare Tool (NSIGHT). Eleven NICUs completed the NSIGHT between 2019 and 2021. Net preference was measured by mean response; agreement was ranked by standard distribution of response values. Heat maps showed comparisons between NICUs and disciplines.

AbstractFollowing the opening of an infant cardiac neonatal intensive care unit, our aim was to determine a baseline UE rate and implement initiatives to target a goal less than 0.5 UEs/100 ventilator days. We utilized the Model for Improvement. Key stakeholders included neonatal providers, nurses, and respiratory therapists. We focused on the creation of an airway bundle that addressed securement methods, communication and education.
