Clinical Programs
University of Washington Medical Center (UWMC) Neonatal Intensive Care Unit:
Dennis E. Mayock, MD, NICU Medical Director
David Loren, MD, NICU Associate Medical Director
In 1980, the 6-North wing at UWMC was remodeled to increase the capacity to 32 neonatal intensive care beds. Prior to this time the NICU consisted of a 16-bed unit located adjacent to the Delivery Room Suite, the site now occupied by obstetric labor rooms. The most recent labor and delivery renovation was completed in 2002. A new NICU is currently being planned.
Seattle Children's Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit:
J. Craig Jackson, MD, MHA, NICU Medical Director
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Seattle Children’s Hospital shares a 45-bed ICU with the Pediatric ICU and Cardiac ICU. The average census of NICU patients (including surgical neonates and pre-operative CICU neonates) is 16 with peak census up to 21. The NICU medical team includes a faculty neonatology attending, a neonatal fellow, and 3 second- or third-year pediatric residents. They round daily with the NICU nurses, respiratory therapists, nutritionist, pharmacist, social worker, and patients' families. The NICU team accepts admissions for all neonates up to 44 weeks’ corrected gestational age from a 4-state area and from other NICUs for unusual or challenging problems. Typical diagnoses include respiratory failure, perinatal infection, diaphragmatic hernia, necrotizing enterocolitis, cyanotic congenital heart disease, life-threatening malformations, and complex multi-system failure. Consultation from all pediatric and surgical specialties is available, including services such as extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation, amplitude EEG, hypothermia, dialysis, and innovative surgical and catheter-directed therapies.
Providence Regional Medical Center Everett (2000 - Present):
Michael D. Neufeld, MD, MPH, NICU Medical Director
The Providence Regional Medical Center Everett (PRMCE) NICU opened its door on Mother's Day, 2002 with a 29 patient bed capacity. 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 service concentrates on family-centered care and teaching parents how to take care of their infants, especially if they have special needs.
A multidisciplinary team meets daily with parents to discuss different aspects of their infant's care as it relates to their nutritional, ventilatory, developmental, pharmaceutical, and social services needs. In preparation for discharge, parents are provided in-depth instruction on how to manage situations that may arise in the home and review cardiopulmonary resuscitation with a respiratory therapist.
Overlake Hospital Medical Center (2003 - Present):
Shilpi Chabra, MD, Special Care Nursery Medical Director
Thomas Strandjord, MD, SCN Associate Medical Director
In May 2003, Overlake Hospital Medical Center obtained a Certification of Need (CON) for opening a Level III NICU with a total capacity of 14 beds. Prior to this time the Special Care Nursery did not keep ventilated neonates. Currently OHMC delivers between 3,500 - 4,000 babies per year resulting in 300 - 350 admissions to the SCN.
Regional Perinatal Care Program:
NRP and Resuscitation Skills Labs:
Our faculty and fellows are involved in several aspects of the NRP and skills labs resuscitation training sessions/reviews which include ferret intubation as well as x-ray and case reviews for Seattle Children's Hospital ground transport teams and Airlift Northwest flight nurses.
WWAMI:
In the sphere of outreach education, the faculty are also involved in the 5-state WWAMI (Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, Idaho) program for medical student and resident education. Two or three times per year, faculty members visit selected programs for outreach education.
Newborn Transport Program:
Linda Wallen, MD, Medical Director
The Division of Neonatology directs the Infant Ground Transport Team service and the newborn component of AirLift Northwest transport services. Most of the infants 400 neonates were brought to Seattle Children's Hospital but also transported to the University of Washington and Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, in addition to serving other area hospitals. The Ground Transport Team is composed of specially trained transport nurses and respiratory therapists, and can provide full ventilatory support including oscillation, nitric oxide administration, and cardiopulmonary monitoring including blood gas analysis. ALNW transport is staffed by specially trained pediatric and adult critical care nurses and can provide full ventilatory support and monitoring. The Division of Neonatology is dedicated to training and supervision of team members of both transport systems, including case review, resuscitation skills, intubations, insertion of umbilical catheters, x-ray interpretation, and treatment of pneumothorax.
MedCon (Medical Consultation) Program:
The University of Washington and Seattle Children's Hospital provide 24-hour a day, 7 days a week, medical consultation services and transport services for the 5 state WWAMI region. Each year, the divisional neonatologists handled about 600 calls relating to neonatal transport care and management.
High Risk Infant Follow-Up Clinic:
Director: F. Curt Bennett, MD
The University of Washington High Risk Infant Follow-up Clinic began in 1975, linked to the UWMC NICU for outcomes research purposes. Since then, it has expanded and taken on additional clinical service and interdisciplinary training functions. Its present staff includes health care professionals from developmental pediatrics, neonatology, psychology, audiology, nutrition, physical and occupational therapy, and social work. Recently, we have developed a database to track each child seen in the clinic that can be linked with the UWMC Perinatal database.
The majority of infants seen was either born prematurely or experienced prenatal drug exposure. 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, are also followed. Scheduled evaluation times include 4, 12, 24, 36, and 54 months and 6 and 8 years corrected age. Approximately 600 high-risk infants and children are seen annually in the clinic. About 40 percent of these visits are infants in the first year of life.
Neonatal-Perinatal Database:
Database Coordinator: Michael D. Neufeld, MD, MPH
The University of Washington Medical Center Neonatal Intensive Care Unit has a QA/QI/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 has been developed by the Division of Neonatology and is maintained by division staff and faculty. In addition, since 2002, the University of Washington NICU has participated in the Vermont-Oxford (VO) database for 450-1500 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 VO 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 as well.
Research Programs
Our faculty research interests cover a wide and varied spectrum with interests in bench research, clinical trials, bioethics, informatics, computer simulation, and continuous quality improvement. In 2005, there were funded research programs in cerebral physiology and neuropathology, fetal alcohol syndrome, developmental biology (erythropoietin), pediatric safety and biomedical informatics, in addition to participation in several multicenter clinical trials.

Sandra Juul, MD, PhD
Professor of Pediatrics and Associate Division Head, Scholarship and Research;
Fellowship Training Program Director
Primary Clinical, Research, and Teaching Activities:
Dr. Juul completed her medical school training as well as her Pediatric and Neonatology subspecialty training at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington. She then went on to complete a PhD in Developmental Biology at the University of Chicago. She became a Faculty member in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Florida, where she stayed until 2000, when she rejoined the Division of Neonatology at the University of Washington. Dr. Juul is principal investigator on studies focusing on the neuroprotective effects of erythropoietin (Epo) in neonatal models of brain injury and neonatal stress. She has identified Epo and its receptor in the developing human brain, demonstrated the functionality of the Epo receptor on cultured neurons, and documented Epo in the spinal fluid of human neonates. Her research shows that Epo protects the neonatal brain from injury due to hypoxia and oxidative injury. Using a variety of approaches, Dr. Juul is working to identify mechanisms of Epo neuroprotection, and how to optimize its function in the developing brain at risk for injury. Her ultimate goal is to bring this new treatment from the laboratory to the bedside.
