Show Notes
Join us as we discuss the top quality improvement abstracts from the PCICS 2024 Annual Conference with guests Andy Shin, MD (Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital / Stanford University), Melissa Winder, CPNP-AC (Primary Children’s Hospital / University of Utah), and Kimberly DiMaria DNP, CPNP-AC (C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital / University of Michigan). We cover topics from decreasing mortality rates using a rapid, real-time review process; a multi-centered quality initiative addressing postoperative chylothorax, and improvements in feeding and sedation outcomes through the use of nasotracheal intubation. These abstracts exemplify some of the best quality improvement work presented this year.
