COURSE OBJECTIVES
BACKGROUND & ASSESSMENT
- Describe the two-phase pathophysiology of HIE and how therapeutic hypothermia impacts the injury
- List at least two other neonatal conditions that might mimic HIE during the first day of life
- Discuss the evidence for the current cooling therapy and two ongoing research projects to direct future practice
- List the eligibility criteria for therapeutic hypothermia in your NICU in terms of: infant characteristics, timing of intervention and contraindications
MONITORING & IMAGING
- Identify two expected aEEG patterns during HIE and describe the expected evolution during the first days of life
- Describe the significance of high and low cerebral NIRS values during therapeutic hypothermia
- Discuss the rationale for the type and timing of neuro-imaging for infants with HIE
- Describe the implementation process for non-sedated MRI
CARING DURING COOLING
- Discuss the risk for, and management of, at least one potential clinical complication encountered during the three phases of therapeutic hypothermia: inducation, maintenance and rewarming.
- Recognize the clinical presentation of neonatal seizures and outline the traditional pharmacologic management
- Describe one or more benefits of using a servo-controlled temperature regulatory device
- Discuss the pros and cons of: sedation, feeding, and infant holding during cooling
- Discuss the role of OT, PT, and developmental specialists for infant with HIE - during cooling and beyond
- List three strategies to improve communication with parents whose infants are undergoing cooling
- Name 2 common side effects seen during therapeutic hypothermia
- Describe two nursing interventions unique to the infant undergoing therapeutic hypothermia
FOLLOW UP & QUALITY
- Describe at least one common feeding-related concern seen in infants with HIE
