Successful Implementation of the Eat Sleep Console Model of Care for Infants With NAS in a Community Hospital.

Background: Opioid use across the United States is increasing. The concomitant rise in the incidence of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) has made care of infants with this disease process a top priority for pediatric centers across the country. There is growing evidence that the Eat Sleep Console (ESC) model of care is superior to the established Finnegan Neonatal Abstinence Scoring System model.

Epidemiology of bacteremia in febrile infants in the United States.

Background: Fever in infants is a common clinical dilemma. The objective of this study was to present data from hospital systems across the northeast, southeast, mid-west, and western United States to identify the pathogens causing bacteremia in febrile infants admitted to general care units.

Methods: This was a retrospective review of positive blood culture results in febrile infants aged ≤90 days admitted to a general care unit across 6 hospital systems.
