Their programs are ranked among the nation's best by U.S. News & World Report magazine.

SEATTLE CHILDREN'S NICU DESIGNATED FIRST LEVEL 1V IN WASHINGTON

Seattle Children's is proud to announce that the Washington State Department of Health has designated the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) as a Level IV regional NICU. A Level IV designation means that the NICU is able to provide the highest level of care available for critically ill newborns. Seattle Children's is pleased to be the first hospital in Washington State to receive this designation.

The new designation of Seattle Children's NICU follows the recent revision of the state's Perinatal and Neonatal Level of Care Guidelines by the Department of Health in February 2013. The revision is in line with the updated American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) standards for NICUs that were outlined in September 2012. The guidelines define four levels of care: normal newborn nursery (level I), special care nursery for premature and mildly ill newborns (level II), neonatal intensive care for very premature and critically ill newborns that sometimes offer select surgical procedures (level III), and regional NICU with comprehensive services to treat all medical and surgical problems of newborns (level IV).

Seattle Children's 19-bed level IV NICU receives patients from nearly all the level III NICUs in Washington and Montana. Seattle Children's NICU offers advanced modes of imaging as well as the state's most experienced specialists in neonatal nursing, respiratory care, nutrition, pharmacy, physical therapy and all medical and surgical subspecialities - all available 24/7. Under the new guidelines, NICUs with a Level IV designation must meet all Level III capabilities, as well as:
" Be located within an institution with the capability to provide surgical repair of complex congenital or acquired conditions.
" Maintain a full range of pediatric medical subspecialists, pediatric surgical subspecialists and pediatric anesthesiologists that are available at the site 24 hours a day, seven days a week.




The role of the neonatal intensive care nurse (NICU nurse) is to provide direct and specialized care for newborns needing close monitoring due to premature birth, birth defects, infection, or other medical conditions requiring surgery or therapy. Working in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with doctors and other healthcare professionals, the NICU RNs assist in developing and implementing a plan of care for high-risk newborns requiring high-technology care, including ventilators, incubators, or other special equipment or surgery.
