Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) remains a significant problem that can lead to profound neurodevelopmental impairment. Therapeutic hypothermia and treatment of seizure can reduce the burden of injury resulting from HIE, but practice variability affects the care we bring to the bedside. Quality improvement methodology is an effective way to address practice variability and bring sustainable clinical culture change to NICUs.

Learning Outcome(s):

At the conclusion of this presentation, the learner will be able to:
  1. Utilization drift of therapeutic hypothermia for the care of infants with HIE in the NICU is a problem
  2. Treatment guidelines for neonatal seizure due to HIE have been updated but practice variability still exists
  3. Quality Improvement is a necessary tool to address utilization drift and practice variability and bring sustainable change to NICUs
