Title: Project HIFLO: Decreasing Use of High-flow Nasal Cannula in Mild-moderate Bronchiolitis

Overview: Although high-flow became very popular in the treatment of bronchiolitis over recent years, randomized studies have shown that up to 70% of infants with mild-to-moderate bronchiolitis have longer hospital stays, similar escalation in care to ICU status, and similar overall outcomes as infants who are treated with low-flow nasal cannula. In this quality initiative, our team worked with the American Academy of Pediatrics Value in Inpatient Pediatrics (VIP) network to decrease the use of high-flow nasal cannula in mild-to-moderate bronchiolitis at American Family Children’s Hospital.

Collaborating with the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research to extend your research

8–9 a.m. via Zoom

Overview: We will describe the programs offered by the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR) that departments/centers can leverage to accelerate translational research impact. ICTR programming is both broad and deep with offerings that include mentorship, pilots, protocol development, implementation science, learning health systems, research methods, community engagement, team science and more. These exciting resources are available to research teams as they translate innovation to practice.

 Learning Objectives

1. Illustrate the training opportunities available for Pediatrics participation and/or partnership that promote translational research.
2. Explain ICTR resources that can enhance investigator initiated translational research for departments like Pediatrics.
3. Utilize ICTR team building training to increase collaborative projects with ICTR.
