OVERVIEW

Mission Statement: We will improve neonatal outcomes by

Providing outstanding evidence-based neonatal clinical care

Educating the next generation of neonatal caregivers

Advancing neonatal scholarship

History of Division Faculty:

The Division of Neonatal Biology and Respiratory Diseases of the Department of Pediatrics at the

University of Washington was officially created in 1963 with the recruitment of Dr. Tim Oliver. He then

recruited Dr. W. Alan Hodson from Johns Hopkins in 1966 as a second faculty member. A third faculty

member, Dr. Dick Wennberg, was added in 1969 and a fourth, Dr. David Woodrum, in 1971. Dr. Oliver left

Seattle in 1971 to become Chair of Pediatrics at Pittsburgh and Dr. Hodson became head of the Division,

a position he held until 1997 when he stepped down and Dr. Christine Gleason was recruited from Johns

Hopkins as Division Head of Neonatology. At that time, Pulmonary Medicine officially became its own

division under the direction of Dr. Greg Redding. Since 1997, the Division has substantially expanded its

clinical activities, research programs, and its outstanding neonatal fellowship training program. Dr.

Gleason stepped down as Division Head in 2014 when Dr. Sandra Juul was successfully recruited January

2015.

History of Division Research:

Between 1966 and 1970, research funding for the Division was obtained from the NICHD with a Neonatal

Biology Training Grant, an individual research award, and a satellite clinical research center. In 1972,

Division members worked together with members of the Department of Medicine to obtain a 5-year

Specialized Center of Research (SCOR) Grant in respiratory disease from the NHLBI. This SCOR became an

independent pediatric pulmonary SCOR when it was renewed in 1976, with a second 5-year renewal in

1982. In 1987, a Program Project grant entitled “Pathophysiology of Respiratory Disorders of the

Newborn” was funded through the NHLBI for a 5-year period ending in 1992. From 1992 to the present,

the Division’s scholarship has diversified; new directions in developmental neuroscience were included

beginning in 1998 after Dr. Christine Gleason became Division Head. In 2000, Dr. Sandra Juul was

recruited. NIH-funded bench research programs focused on neurodevelopment and neonatal

neuroprotection, with translation to multicenter clinical trials of erythropoietin (Epo) neuroprotection.

The addition of senior scientist Dr. Colin Studholme to the Division in 2011 brought state of the art

neuroimaging techniques for fetal and neonatal brain imaging. The overarching basic science research

goal of the Division is to improve the neurodevelopmental outcomes of at-risk infants. Clinical research is

focused on neuroscience, medical education, ethics and global neonatal-perinatal health. In 2013, Dr.

Juul was awarded a $10.1 million UO1 grant supporting a 5-year multi-center clinical trial investigating

Epo as a neuroprotective agent in extremely preterm infants, and in 2016 a second U01 grant was

awarded to study the neuroprotective effects of Epo for term infants with hypoxic ischemic

encephalopathy. Dr. Dennis Mayock is the Associate Division Head for Clinical Research.

Division Clinical Services:

University of Washington Medical Center Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (Level IV):

Thomas P. Strandjord, MD, Medical Director; David Loren, MD, Assoc. Medical Director

The UWMC NICU admits critically-ill newborns from one of the highest risk obstetric services in the nation.

The multi-professional perinatal and NICU teams have special expertise in management of the most fragile

growth-restricted and premature fetuses and newborns. The high-risk perinatal program receives

obstetrics referrals from throughout the WWAMI region for fetal abnormalities, severe maternal illness,

and extreme prematurity and is the site of delivery for the most complex birth defects, including infants

requiring EXIT procedures for airway anomalies. Additional advanced services include therapeutic

hypothermia and the full range of ventilation strategies including inhaled nitric oxie, high –frequency

oscillatory and jet ventilation. The NICU medical team includes neonatal faculty, neonatal fellows,

neonatal nurse practitioners, neonatal hospitalists, pediatric residents, interns and medical students. The

inter-professional team includes dedicated respiratory therapists, neonatal pharmacists, dieticians,

physical therapists, speech language pathologists and social work support. The nursing team includes

three tiers of RN expertise and leadership. A state-of-the-art 50-bed NICU opened October 2012. The new

unit includes 42 single-bed rooms with space for a family member to stay with their infant plus several

additional rooms for multiples as well as an integrated OR for surgical procedures. Patients are cared for

by one of two multi-disciplinary teams, a resident-based team, and an NNP/hospitalist team. The UWMC

NICU’s care model includes 24/7 coverage by in-house residents and, mid-level intensivists (fellow or

NNP/hospitalist), under the direction of attending neonatologists. In AY 2017, the UWMC had 1,924

deliveries with 468 NICU admissions. The average daily census was 31.3 with 134 preterm infants weighing

less than 1500 grams at birth and an average daily census of 3.4 on ventilators.

Seattle Children’s Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (Level IV):

Robert DiGeronimo, Medical Director; Zeenia Billimoria, MD, Assoc. Medical Director

The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Seattle Children’s Hospital is the highest rated Level IV NICU in the

Seattle area and serves as the major tertiary referral center for medically and surgically complex neonates

in the Pacific Northwest. Seattle Children’s NICU admits nearly 500 patients annually and has over 500

affiliated faculty that represent all pediatric subspecialties including: 12 pediatric surgeons, 5 pediatric

neurosurgeons and 4 pediatric cardiac surgeons – more than any other hospital in the region. The

Children’s NICU provides the full spectrum of neonatal medical care including therapeutic hypothermia

for acute hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, seizures, high frequency ventilation, inhaled nitric oxide and

ECMO for severe respiratory failure, renal replacement therapy including dialysis and surgical expertise in

the areas of congenital diaphragmatic hernia, intestinal failure, bowel atresia, craniofacial anomalies,

reconstructive pelvic medicine, post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus, neural tube defects and neurovascular

malformations. In addition, we offer multidisciplinary care teams providing neuro-critical care and

management of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Daily rounds with the medical team incorporate the

patient’s family, NICU nurses, dietician, pharmacist and respiratory therapist. The NICU team accepts

admissions of critically ill neonates up to 44 weeks’ post menstrual age (i.e., up to 4 weeks after due date)

from the 5-state WAMI region. The Seattle Children’s Hospital NICU’s care model includes an in-house

fellow or Advanced Neonatal Practitioners and attending neonatologist 24/7. Seattle Children's Prenatal

Diagnosis and Treatment Program partners with the University of Washington to provide care for

pregnant women and their families when pregnancy is complicated by known or suspected conditions in

the developing fetus. Our program integrates obstetric, neonatology and pediatric specialty care for

families facing complicated pregnancy management or decision-making.

Overlake Hospital Medical Center Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (Level III):

Shilpi Chabra, MD, Medical Director; Krystle Perez, MD, Assoc. Medical Director

In 2012, Overlake Hospital opened a new NICU with a total capacity of 18 beds, 13 of which are single-bed

rooms with space for a family member to stay near their infant. This model fits in well with the

patient/family-centered care provided by the Neonatology team. This facility boasts Nutrition follow up,

exclusive breastmilk feedings and same day cardiac consults. The Overlake Hospital NICU’s care model is

24/7 in-house Advanced Neonatal Practitioners under the direction of attending neonatologists. In AY

2017, Overlake had 3,797 deliveries with 346 NICU admissions. The average daily census was 8.0 with 13

preemies weighing less than 1500 grams at birth, and an average daily census of 0.05 on ventilators.

Providence Regional Medical Center Everett Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (Level III):

Michael D. Neufeld, MD, MPH, Medical Director; Anna Hedstrom MD, Assoc. Medical Director

Providence Regional Medical Center Everett’s 29-bed capacity NICU opened on Mother’s Day in 2002. The

unit was developed through the efforts of an alliance between PRMCE and Seattle Children’s Hospital.

Individual rooms provide privacy for patients and their families. The multidisciplinary team meets daily

with parents and concentrates on family-centered care, teaching parents how to take care of their infants,

especially those with special needs. In preparation for discharge, parents are provided in-depth

instruction on how to manage emergencies that may arise in the home, including the need for CPR. The

care model at PRMCE is 24/7 in-house Advanced Neonatal Practitioners under the direction of attending

neonatologists. In AY 2016, PRMCE had 4,815 deliveries with 641 NICU admissions. The average daily

census was 21.9 with 48 preemies less than 1500 grams at birth with an average daily census of 1.3 on

ventilators.

UW Medicine/Valley Medical Center Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (Level III)

Christina Long, DO, Medical Director; Christopher Traudt, MD, Associate Director

In July 2017, Neonatologists and Advanced Neonatal Practitioners from University of Washington/Seattle

Children’s Hospital began a collaborative effort to staff the NICU at UW/Valley Medical Center. The unit

has a 29-bed capacity. The single bed rooms provide space and privacy for our patients and their families.

Two, unique, infant stabilization rooms allow immediate resuscitation of infants in the NICU after birth

without requiring transport after stabilization. Valley has a robust high- risk perinatal clinic and the

Neonatologists work closely in conjunction with the high-risk team to provide consults for families

prenatally. The Valley NICU uses a multi-disciplinary approach to patient care with NICU dedicated

pharmacists, dieticians, physical therapists, speech therapists, respiratory therapists, social work, and

NICU nurses. This multi-disciplinary staff meets with families to provide the best family-centered care for

our patients. Advanced services provided at Valley include therapeutic hypothermia with 24/7 Pediatric

Neurology support and a large range of ventilation strategies including high-frequency oscillatory

ventilation. Advanced Neonatal Practitioners staff the NICU with 24/7 in- house coverage under the

direction of attending Neonatologists. In FY 2017, Valley had 3745 number of deliveries with 383 NICU

admissions.

Franciscan Health Care System; St Joseph Medical Center (Level III); St Francis (Level II)

Stephen Welty, MD, Medical Director; Elizabeth Flanigan MD, Associate Medical DIrector

Franciscan Health Care System includes a network of hospitals with approximately 9,000 deliveries

annually at its 5 obstetrical facilities: St Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma, St Francis Hospital in Federal

Way, St Elizabeth Hospital in Enumclaw, Harrison Medical Center in Silverdale, and Highline Medical

Center in Burien. St Joseph Medical Center has a licensed capacity of 23 neonatal beds and has 24/7 in-

house Advanced Neonatal Practitioners supported by faculty neonatologists. St. Francis Hospital has a

licensed capacity of 10 Level II beds, with medical care from local pediatricians, with consultation and

attendance at high-risk deliveries as needed from SCH Advanced Neonatal Practitioners and/or

neonatologists. St. Elizabeth is a critical access hospital with 345 deliveries a year. Seattle Children’s

Hospital partnered with the Franciscan Health Care System to begin providing Neonatology services and

medical direction on April 1, 2013, and St. Joseph Medical Center opened its new Level III NICU in June

2013. This partnership has made it possible for the vast majority of patients to stay within their community

while receiving excellent care for their fragile newborns. In AY 2017, St. Joseph’s had 4,132 deliveries with

423 NICU admissions. Our average daily census was 17.3 with 58 premature infants weighing less than

1500 and 10 weighing less than 1000 grams at birth. With the new emphasis on non-invasive ventilation,

we average between 3 and 5 babies on nasal CPAP per day. We have recently expanded our care to

provide inhaled nitric oxide for infants with hypoxic respiratory failure.

CLINICAL ACTIVITIES

MEDICAL CONSULTATION PROGRAM/CHILDREN’S COMMUNICATION CENTER

The Division provides 24/7 neonatal consultation services and medical control for neonatal ground and

air transport for the 5-state WWAMI region for about 400 patients per year.

NEONATAL TRANSPORT PROGRAM

Robert DiGeronimo, MD, Medical Director

Neonatal transport services for Seattle Children’s and it’s affiliated hospital partners is provided by

dedicated teams from Seattle Children’s and Airlift Northwest. Our transport team are leaders in safe

newborn transport and have ground, rotor and fixed wing capability. Teams are comprised of specially

trained transport nurses and respiratory therapists. Infants from referral centers throughout the WWAMI

(Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, Idaho) region are transported to facilities best suited to their

needs. Services provided include en-route cardiopulmonary monitoring, conventional ventilator support,

high frequency ventilation, administration of nitric oxide, blood gas analysis and mobile extracorporeal

membrane oxygenation for critically ill patients too unstable to move via other means. Team members

are trained in the interpretation of x-rays, newborn resuscitation, endotracheal tube placement, insertion

of umbilical catheters, treatment of pneumothoraces, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, blood pressure

management, complex congenital heart disease and other newborn emergencies. Members of the

Division of Neonatology serve as Medical Control Providers for all transport missions.

INFANT DEVELOPMENT FOLLOW-UP CLINIC

William Walker, MD

The University of Washington Infant Development Follow-Up Clinic (IDFC) was provides critical screening and follow up for high risk infants cared for in the UWMC and SCH NICUs. It also provides interdisciplinary training, and follow up for patients in clinical research studies such as PENUT and HEAL. Current staffing includes developmental pediatrics, neonatal neurology, neonatology, advanced practice nursing, psychology, audiology, nutrition, physical and occupational therapy, and social work. Scheduled IDFC evaluations occur at 4 and 12 months corrected age, and 24, 36, and 54 months chronological age. Very low birth weight infants (weighing less than 1500 grams at birth) are prioritized for follow-up. Other infants with specific neonatal concerns, e.g., chronic lung disease, intracranial hemorrhage, infection, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and selected surgical patients are also followed.

Approximately 600 high-risk infants and children are seen annually in the clinic. About 40 percent of these visits are with infants during the first year of life. The most recent innovation is the Late and Moderate Preterm Babies (LAMBs) Follow-up Clinic which opened in June 2018. This clinic serves infants born between 32 0/7 and 36 6/7 weeks gestation, with a birthweight of 1500 grams or greater, and a NICU length of stay 5 days or greater. Scheduled evaluations for LAMBs occur at 4-6 months corrected age, 12 months corrected age, and 24 and 36 months chronological age.

NEONATAL-PERINATAL DATABASES

Michael D. Neufeld, MD, MPH and Thomas P. Strandjord, MD, Database Coordinators

The University of Washington Medical Center Neonatal Intensive Care Unit maintains a quality improvement and research NICU database that includes all infants admitted to the NICU, as well as all infants delivered at UWMC over 22 weeks gestation. The database is maintained by Division staff and faculty. In addition, since 2000, the University of Washington NICU has participated in the Vermont-Oxford Network (VON) database for 401-1500 gram infants. Data is selected for inclusion in the NICU database by consensus of the neonatology faculty and fellows. The NICU database contains a superset of the data required by the VON database and as such includes extensive admission, diagnostic, outcome and local QA/QI data. The outcome (morbidity and mortality) data is generated annually and reviewed with the faculty and fellows. In addition, ad hoc queries are performed at the request of fellows and faculty and reviewed as a group.

Elizabeth Jacobson, MD, Site Physician Sponsor, Robert DiGeronimo, MD, Co-Sponsor

Seattle Children’s Hospital belongs to the Children’s Hospitals Neonatal Consortium of more than 30

children's hospital Level IV NICUs. This allows for involvement in benchmarking and quality evaluation

and improvement initiatives for the SCH NICU through the Children’s Hospitals Neonatal Database.

Robert DiGeronimo, MD, Site Physician Co-Sponsor

Seattle Children’s Hospital belongs to the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO), an

international non-profit consortium of over 350 health care institutions dedicated to the development

and evaluation of novel therapies to support organ failure. Participation in ELSO affords the opportunity

to participate in and query the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation database to support clinical

research, quality improvement and evidence based guideline recommendations.

TEACHING ACTIVITIES

NEONATAL-PERINATAL FELLOWSHIP TRAINING PROGRAM

Taylor Sawyer, DO, MEd, Program Director

Megan Gray, MD, Associate Program Director

The Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellowship Training Program at the University of Washington began in

the mid-1960s. Our mission is to educate and inspire the next generation of neonatologists who will

provide state-of-the-art, evidence-based clinical care, and to assist and mentor them in finding and

pursuing their scholarly passion so they are poised to be the future academic leaders of our field. During

their 3 years of training, fellows spend a total of 56 weeks on clinical service: 46 weeks on rotations in the

two teaching hospital NICUs (Seattle Children's Hospital & University of Washington Medical Center); 8

weeks on clinical services including perinatology, cardiac ICU, and pediatric surgery; and 2 weeks in one

of the Division's community hospital NICUs. Fellows also attend NICU follow-up clinic 8 half-days each

year. Additionally, fellows achieve a high degree of scholarly/ academic competence in order to excel in a

career in academic neonatology. We have designed our program to provide ample protected time for

scholarly activities. Our research areas of focus include neuroscience, global health, education/simulation,

quality improvement, and biomedical ethics. We have strong research mentors both within and outside

the Neonatology Division. As of 2017, 59 neonatologists have successfully completed their clinical and

research training in our program, and more than 50% have pursued an academic career. Our graduates

have a 1st time board pass rate of 100% over the past 5 years.

RESIDENT EDUCATION

Maneesh Batra, MD, MPH, Associate Director, Pediatric Residency Program

Our faculty, fellows, and advanced neonatal practitioners are involved in several aspects of the core

training program for pediatric residents. Currently the University of Washington Pediatric Residency

Program accepts 43 residents per year. All residents complete one 4-week rotation in the UWMC NICU

during their intern year and one or more rotations in the UWMC NICU and SCH NICU over the course of

their subsequent 2 years of residency. Additionally, University of Washington family practice residents

rotate through the UWMC NICU for 2-4 weeks. For all of these trainees our faculty, fellows and advance

neonatal practitioners provide bedside teaching during the rotation. Additionally, our Division has been

Education; Thomas Strandjord, MD, Director of Clinical Integration; Megan Gray, MD, Director of

Kinesthetic Learning

In 2014, the Division of Neonatology joined an elite group of neonatal divisions who own and operate a dedicated neonatal simulation program. The Neonatal Education and Simulation-based Training (NEST) Program sets the UW and Seattle Children’s Division of Neonatology apart and highlights the Division’s dedication to simulation-based education. The mission of the NEST Program is to improve neonatal outcomes through advanced technology-enhanced training and simulation research. The program’s vision is to provide international leadership in neonatal education, simulation-based training and scholarship. Current projects include: ‘boot camps’ for residents and fellows, neonatal resuscitation training, neonatal procedural skills training, development of a computer-based perinatal counseling simulator, and virtual reality neonatal disaster training. The NEST program works to improve the care of neonates in the Seattle region by conducting educational outreach with pediatric providers and neonatal transport teams.

Colin Studholme, PhD

Scholarly Focus: Fetal and neonatal brain imaging. Dr Studholme has brought expertise in computational

imaging, imaging physics and image analysis to pre-natal and post-natal imaging. His group has been

developing and applying new imaging and image analysis tools to more accurately and robustly map early

brain functional and structural connectivity before and shortly after birth, to provide markers for

abnormal development and brain injury. His work at UW has expanded to recruiting and scanning a large

cohort of normal pregnancies to construct a reference database for how the normal human brain develops

before birth and how brain anatomy varies at different gestational ages during pregnancy. In addition to

studying normal brain growth he is involved in projects on neurodevelopmental abnormalities such as

ventriculomegaly, fetal alcohol exposure, fetal cardiac abnormalities and intra-uterine growth restriction.

In addition to his ongoing research in this area, he is a co-investigator on the randomized controlled trial

of Epo neuroprotection in extremely preterm infants (PENUT Trial), with the specific aim of evaluating

brain growth of Epo treated infants as compared to controls.

Christopher Traudt, MD

Clinical Interest: The application of family-centered care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The NICU can be very intimidating to parents and he believes that care of the infant is incomplete without parental guidance throughout the NICU stay. Scholarly Focus: Dr. Traudt participates in ongoing division studies of neurodevelopment and

neuroprotection in both animal models and in the PENUT and HEAL trials. His particular expertise is in MRI

analysis. He is investigating the effects of neonatal brain injury on cerebellar development.

that evidence-based practice should be the cornerstone of clinical practice, and is working to establish

evidence based guidelines for management of common neonatal problems.

Elliott M Weiss, MD, MSME

Clinical Interests: Newborn health, ECMO, neonatal bioethics

Scholarly Focus: Dr. Weiss’s primary research interest is in the area of medical decision-making, with a

special focus on parents as decision makers for their sick infants in the NICU. This work encompasses

several different facets of decision making. For example, how do we decide which NICU interventions

require parental awareness, concurrence, verbal agreement, or signed consent? This decision is currently

largely influenced by historical factors, local custom, and perceived liability concerns with less

consideration of parental preferences. How do we present medical decisions? Insights from behavioral

economics suggest that choice architecture and bias are crucially important—and have been largely

ignored within medicine. When is a decision made? We structure communication and consent as though

decisions are made the moment choices are presented by the physician, but it is likely the decision was

made far earlier. In sum, Dr. Weiss aims to understand how parents approach decision-making to better

tailor consent practices to their values and preferences.

Administration/Education Roles: Dr. Weiss co-leads monthly resident ethics teaching rounds at the

UWMC and SCH NICUs. He is also the track director of neonatal bioethics, which promotes bioethics

research among neonatology trainees. He created the Neonatology and Decision-Making interest group

that meet twice a month to discuss topics pertinent to clinical and research neonatal ethics. He also serves

on the SCH ethics committee.
