Supporting Feeding of Late Preterm Infants in the Hospital: A Quality Improvement Project
Background: Feeding difficulty is the most common cause of delayed hospital discharge and readmission of late preterm infants. Frequent and adequate feedings from birth are protective against dehydration, hypoglycemia, and jaundice. The National Perinatal Association's feeding guidelines provide the foundation for late preterm infant standards of care. Feeding at least every 3 hours promotes nutritional status and neurologic development. One feeding assessment every 12 hours during the hospital stay can ensure quality of infant feeding. Problem: At a large urban hospital, medical record reviews were completed to...

Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity during Labor, Birth, and Immediate Postpartum: Clinical Review
Local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) is a life-threatening event caused by elevated local anesthetic plasma concentration. It is often unrecognized or misdiagnosed. Peripartum women are at increased risk for toxicity due to pregnancy-related physiological changes. Rising serum drug levels can cause cellular level impairment of mitochondria and voltage-gated ion channels leading to a cascade of symptoms that can end in cardiac arrest. Local anesthetic systemic toxicity can mimic other maternal pathologies but may be considered if local anesthetics have been used. Published treatment guidelines for this event include li...

Postpartum Depression Screening for Mothers of Babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a prevalent, yet underidentified, problem among mothers with babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Postpartum depression can result in immediate and long-term consequences for mother and baby. Screening, followed by early intervention, is critical for improvement and resolution. The purpose of the project was to initiate early screening for PPD among a high-risk population to identify and refer for early treatment. Methods: A screening and referral protocol was implemented using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), with consults as indicated to ...
