MESSAGE FROM THE CONFERENCE CHAIR

On behalf of the Canadian Association of Neonatal Nurses 2019 National Conference Committee and the CANN Board of Directors, I extend a very warm welcome to all of you. We are excited to bring you an engaging and relevant program inspired by our theme “Parent Engagement: The Power of Empowerment”.

The next two days will feature an impressive line-up of general session speakers, as well as concurrent sessions and poster presentations. Together, we will learn from their research and innovative ideas, and explore emerging topics and trends that are forging the way to improved neonatal nursing care.

This conference also offers excellent networking opportunities and social events. We started early yesterday evening with a compelling talk by parenting author Ann Douglas who spoke to us about parental stress in the newborn/toddler period and how we as nurses can help support parents through these rewarding but challenging times. This evening, we will host a welcome reception in the exhibit hall, and we hope you will enjoy this opportunity to network with colleagues from across the country.

Once again this year, we are fortunate to have many exhibitors and partners supporting the conference and our Association. I would like to acknowledge them for their very generous support! Please take the time to visit the exhibit hall to view and learn about the newest developments and advancements in equipment, products and services for neonatal care.

In closing, I would like to thank you for making the decision to participate in the CANN 2019 National Conference. I hope you return home with a renewed passion, empowered by what you’ve learned at the conference, and a newfound sense of confidence in your ability to engage with and empower parents in your unit.

I look forward to meeting many of you over the course of the next two days – enjoy the conference!

YOU’RE WORRIED? LET’S TAKE A LOOK: THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MCMASTER NICU LOOK bOOK McMaster Children’s Hospital is a member of the micropreemie group in the Vermont Oxford Network. This group’s focus is improving outcomes for the micropreemie population. The VON steering committee at McMaster has chosen to examine the journey of the micropreemie from the very beginning, starting with our antenatal consult process. Our team, which includes parent advisor, Karen Beattie, has also embraced methods to reduce parental anxiety during the antenatal period. Since our families are unable to tour the unit prior to delivery, the McMaster NICU has followed the example of Alaska Regional Hospital and created a “Look Book”. The Look Book is a photo book with accompanying text that explains various aspects of the NICU environment. It includes photos of equipment, hospital spaces, staff, infants at various gestational ages, and families at various stages in their NICU journey. The development of the Look Book was a process that involved obtaining parental feedback and will be discussed in further detail during this talk.

MEGAN bOLTON, RN, BSN, MSN, MHA(c), IBCLC, CNeoN(C)

Senior Practice Leader, Neonatal Program; BC Women’s Hospital and Health Centre; Vancouver, British Columbia

MOTHERbAbY CARE: PROVIDING POSTPARTUM CARE TO MOTHERS IN A NICU ENVIRONMENT In 2015, the Neonatal Program at BC Women’s Hospital embarked on a model of care journey – to change the way mothers and their babies are cared for. Traditionally, infants have been cared for separately from their mothers; infants receive care in the NICU, mothers receive care in postpartum. BC Women’s has worked to increase mother and baby togetherness by providing maternal postpartum care in the NICU.

GENERAL SESSIONS & INVITED SPEAKERS

Dr. Heidelise Als is Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School, Senior Associate in Psychiatry, and Director of Neurobehavioral Infant and Child Studies at Boston Children’s Hospital, in Boston, Massachusetts, and Research Associate in Newborn Medicine at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital. She is a clinician and researcher who is concerned with the neurodevelopment of full-term, high-risk and preterm newborns, as well as the effect of environment and care and the parents’ role on brain development. Her goal is to improve the future for all newborns and especially those born early and/or with special challenges requiring intensive medical care. Dr. Als is the originator of the Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP) and the director of the first NICU-based program dedicated to training and implementing this approach, established in 1982, at the National NIDCAP Training Center, based at Boston Children’s Hospital and the Brigham and Women’s Hospital. She is the founder of the NIDCAP Federation International (NFI), a charitable organization with the mission to assure NIDCAP care for all newborns and families worldwide. Her research has documented significant improvement in the health and neurodevelopment of preterm infants who receive NIDCAP care compared to those cared for in traditional ways. Her work has changed the training and education of staff as well as the design of and care delivered in NICUs in the U.S. and globally.

Dr. Marilyn Ballantyne is chief nurse executive and clinician investigator at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital and adjunct professor at the Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, University of Toronto. Her research is focused on improving health services and child/parent/caregiver health following NICU hospitalization. She has conducted CIHR- and SSHRC-funded research and published in areas including health care transition and parent experiences, systematic review of parent interventions, preterm infant and child development outcomes, and transforming nurses’ work-life environments through training clinical leaders and managers in strengths-based nursing using innovative forms of story-sharing. Dr. Ballantyne brings extensive clinical experience as a paediatric nurse practitioner in acute care and outpatient settings including neonatology, neonatal developmental follow-up and complex care child development.

Lesley Barreira is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who has worked in the fields of children’s mental health and paediatric developmental disabilities for over ten years. She works in the Neonatal Follow-Up Clinic at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and she is the first behaviour analyst to be included as a member of an interdisciplinary team within the neonatal follow-up network in Canada. Lesley is actively involved in promoting the science of behaviour in Ontario and she has served as an elected director at large for the Ontario Association for Behaviour Analysis (ONTABA). Her clinical interests include parent-mediated interventions, toilet training, sleep training, non-compliance, and Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT).

Dr. Soume Bhattacharya is a neonatologist and assistant professor at Western University, Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry. She completed a three-year Fellowship in Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine at Western University in London, Ontario, followed by a one-year Fellowship in Neonatal/Cardiology, Targeted Neonatal Echocardiography, at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. She has also completed her Graduate Diploma in Clinical Epidemiology. Dr. Bhattacharya has a great interest in research focusing on echocardiography, pulmonary hypertension, and neonatology. She is the lead of the Targeted Neonatal Echocardiography Program, Technology, Product, Process, Service Improvement/Development. She is implementing the new technology of Targeted Neonatal Echocardiography or functional echocardiography in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in order to optimize clinical care of hemodynamically unstable neonates. There is evidence to show such point-of-care echocardiography helps in developing physiology-based individualized treatment plans. She is in the process of implementing this technology in the NICU with a clear plan of assessing impact on quality of care by QI projects.

Cheryl-Lee Campbell gave birth early to her daughter Audrey in 2007 due to pre-eclampsia and HELLP syndrome. Audrey was 28 weeks gestation and growth restricted, weighing 830 grams. After an eventful NICU stay at Mount Sinai in Toronto and later a community hospital, Audrey came home after 75 days. Cheryl joined the Parent Advisory Committee and became a parent buddy at Mount Sinai. It was during this time that Cheryl (a classical/opera singer) learned about the research behind music therapy in neonatal intensive care and began to advocate for it to be offered in the NICU at Mount Sinai. Eventually she gave up her previous work (in addition to singing she was a long-time web consultant and also a singing teacher), returned to university and obtained her Master of Music Therapy degree. During her training she had the honour of being the first music therapy intern at Mount Sinai, working mainly in the NICU and with NICU families. She is now an accredited music therapist (MTA), a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), and a Neurologic Music Therapist. She owns and operates East Toronto Music Therapy, working with children as well as in long-term care.

Dr. Michael Castaldo is a clinical assistant professor in the Division of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics, University of British Columbia, and staff neonatologist at BC Women’s Hospital. He completed his residency in pediatrics at Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New York, New York, in 2013 and obtained his fellowship training in neonatology with the University of Toronto. Dr. Castaldo’s interest in TnECHO derived from an appreciation of how the technology offers a non-invasive assessment of cardiovascular health and illustrates the underlying pathophysiology otherwise unseen. He was trained in TnECHO at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto as the practice of TnECHO had become rapidly disseminated in Canadian NICUs and was now considered standard of care in certain situations in some centres. His goal is to evaluate and demonstrate the presumed benefits of TnECHO as it relates to clarification of cardiovascular physiology, earlier identification of disease states, more focused cardiovascular decision making, and avoidance of treatment in certain situations.

Jonathan Foster has never experienced a full-term pregnancy. His first daughter was born at 27 weeks + 6 days due to a partial placental abruption. His second daughter was born at 31 weeks + 5 days following his wife’s hospitalization at 27+6 due to pre-eclampsia. She was delivered by c-section as the risk to both mother and baby was increasing each day. Mom’s blood pressure doses were extremely high, and the baby was suffering from IUGR (intrauterine growth restriction). His family’s first experience in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit lasted 85 days (71 at Mount Sinai’s Level 3 NICU and 14 at Michael Garron’s Level 2 NICU). The second journey was slightly shorter at 69 days (27 days in the High Risk Obstetrics at Sunnybrook followed by 2 days in their Level 3 NICU and 40 days at Michael Garron’s Level 2 NICU). As a result of these experiences, Jonathan is very active in the prematurity community. He runs Mount Sinai‘s paternal support nights, he co-founded the parental support program at Michael Garron Hospital with his wife Joanne, and he is a steering committee member for the Canadian Preterm Birth Network representing the interest of parents. In addition, he is a regular contributor to the Canadian Premature Baby Foundation’s parental support group on Facebook. While his knowledge of preterm birth is extensive, he is an accountant by training and has worked for Coca-Cola, Kraft and Campbell’s as an expert in consumer insights and analytics.
