Clinical Manager
Cook Children's Health Care System
Bowie, Texas
Dr. Cody Greenwood is the Clinical Manager for Cook Children's Health Care System Neonatal/Pediatric Transport Team. Over the past 16 years as a nurse, I have worked four years in the Neonatal ICU, four years in the Emergency Department, and nine years on the Transport Team. With a focused background in education for the transport team, and now clinical management. My attention is on the improvement of health and the growth of our Neonatal/Pediatric transport team. Over the past two years we have been working diligently on a Neonatal First Pass Intubation Quality approach to improve intubation success within our team. We wanted to understand where we were at the start of the PDSA, how we improve first-pass rates, and what our direction should be. Working closely with our Quality Assurance chair, Education, and Outreach Education we reviewed data across a three-year period to assess performance. Throughout the past three years, we have incorporated Simulation experiences, documentation required intubation of Manikin heads, and new micro preemie manikin, ongoing documented Operating Room practice, a new Neo View intubation instrument, recorded video presentation from our Anesthesia department, and the acquisition of fetal pigs for intubation practice. An integral piece of the puzzle was the review and buy-in for the intubation medication protocol introduced by our medical center. I have presented our findings to the team on multiple occasions over the past three years in staff meetings.
Under the guidance of our Neonatal Medical Director, each of our Registered Nurses and Respiratory Therapists that can perform neonatal intubation were included in the training of the Neo View by the Neonatal Medical Director that was purchased for our LISA procedure. Staff were also required to practice medication administration of the protocol during simulation for further reinforcement.
