| description | # Objective
To mitigate trauma for infants on high-frequency jet ventilation by decreasing exposure to noise and facilitating skin-to-skin therapy.
# Design
Key drivers were identified, and we designed and implemented equipment and processes through a series of interventions. A mixed methods evaluation was used. Retrospective chart reviews assessed safety (unplanned extubation) and stability parameters. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to understand parent and staff experiences.
# Results
Stability parameters demonstrated safe skin-to-skin therapy. Data from the interviews showed that parents and staff experiences focused on safety, connection and healing.
# Conclusion
Implementing safe processes to support skin-to-skin therapy during high-frequency jet ventilation is possible. We hope other units will be encouraged to examine their current practices for infants on high-frequency jet ventilation to help mitigate trauma for infants and parents while enhancing staff satisfaction. |
