Vermont Oxford Network Manifesto • Family-centered • Habits in daily practice • Safe – Evidence based practice • Effective – Change – Systems thinking • Timely – Collaborative learning • Socially and • Accountability environmentally responsible • Respect for team members and family Functional Brain Plasticity • Functional Plasticity – Resilience and physiological response to stress • Promoting change while promoting stability – Stress • Positive stress can strengthen • Toxic stress weakens • Tolerable stress – Modulated by supportive caregiving Evidence: Early Experiences on Brain Development 5-20 • Safe and Secure Environments • Nutrition • Stable and Responsive Relationships • Behavior • Promoting Developmental and Family-Centered Care Physicians, CRNPs, Nursing PT, OT,SLP, RT Chaplains, Dieticians Social Services, Pharmacy, local programs Discharge planners – It Takes a Team Service Coordinators for best outcomes The Premature Infant Automatic Eligibility • Prematurity – 26 weeks or less gestation – 1000 grams or less – 18 months chronological age or younger Adjusted Age for Premature Infants • Through 18 months of life • Chronological age – weeks premature= adjusted age • Infant born at 26 weeks gestation was 14 weeks early • At 10 months: 10-3.5= 6.5 months Biological Risk Factors for Developmental Delay • Prematurity • Low birth weight • Neurological damage • Chronic illness • Genetic disease • Seizures • Malnutrition • Alcohol/drug use Outcomes in Infants Born Prematurely or Requiring NICU1 • Susceptible to respiratory tract infections and asthma • GI problems: – Reflux common – Difficulty coordinating suck-swallow-breathe – May need special formula and strategies for introducing solid food to ensure nutrition and growth • Difficulty with state control and self-regulation – Irritability or sleeping “all the time” – Easily stressed • Yawning, hiccupping, sneezing, gaze aversion Outcomes in Infants Born Prematurely or Requiring NICU1 • Severe levels of impairment are generally apparent by 2 years of age • Mild-moderate disabilities may not be apparent until preschool or school-age, even adolescence – DCD – ADHD – Cognitive delays – Behavioral/social issues Neurodevelopmental Outcomes of Prematurity1 • Premature birth is potentially disruptive to multiple aspects of neurodevelopment, especially with: – Intraventricular hemorrhage – Infection – Chronic lung disease Neurodevelopmental Outcomes of Prematurity1 • Aspects of NICU care that improve survival but may worsen long-term neurological outcomes – Mechanical ventilation – Supplemental oxygen – Bright lights – Noisy alarms – Painful procedures – Medications Risk of Neurodevelopmental Problems1 • Risk of neurodevelopmental problems proportional with gestational age and birth weight • Chance for abnormal development increases with lower gestational age and smaller birth weight Neurodevelopmental Impairments: Extremely Premature (<26 weeks gestation) • Rates high • Rates inversely related to gestational age 22-25 weeks – Death and disability at 22 weeks approaches 100% – Moderate to severe disability at 22-23 weeks >50% – Rates of disability decrease at 24-25 weeks – Rates of bilateral deafness and blindness increase with decreasing gestational age • Potential for recovery with increasing age when in good environments with access to intervention and support services 2010 Systematic Review2 • In 11 studies published after 1990 reporting the prevalence of motor impairment in children born preterm (<37 weeks gestation) – 3-4 times > general population – Mild-moderate impairment 40.5/100 – Moderate impairment 19/100 Optimizing Neurodevelopmental Outcomes after Prematurity • Best medical practices • Teaming • Developmental follow-up • Family support • Early intervention or nurse home-visits: focus on improving parenting through daily routines, relationship-based activities, reinforce comfort, create safe experiences, and address stressors Congenital Heart Disease Davis • Normal deliver at 39 WGA • Developed fever and poor feeding at day 3 and transferred from OSH for abnormal Echocardiogram • Berlin Ventricular Assistive Device (VAD) placement • Head US showed multiple focal hemmorhages • Heart transplant at 5 months requiring multiple bypass runs and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) x2 days • Post-pump chorea • G-tube placement Commonly Seen Diagnoses • Tetrology of Fallot (TOF) • Transposition of the • Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) Great Arteries (d-TGA) • Ventricular Septal Defect • Patent Ductus (VSD) Arteriosus (PDA) • Interrupted Aortic Arch (IAA) • Cardiomyopathy • Hypoplastic Left Heart • Atrioventricular Septal Syndrome (HLHS) Defect (AV Canal) • Coarctation of the Aorta • Truncus Arteriosis CHD and the Brain • With severe defects (i.e., single ventricle, d-tga) there are often brain abnormalities before surgery – There is increasing evidence of impaired neurodevelopment in utero – Smaller head circumference and decreased brain maturation • Acquired brain injuries related to hypoxia, prolonged bypass, cardiac
