Machine Learning Approaches For Neurological Risk Stratification Within 6 Hours Of Cardiac Arrest, Richard R. Riker, Qingchu Jin, Hunter Williams, Teresa May, David Seder, Raimond L. Winslow
Machine Learning Approaches For Neurological Risk Stratification Within 6 Hours Of Cardiac Arrest, Richard R. Riker, Qingchu Jin, Hunter Williams, Teresa May, David Seder, Raimond L. Winslow
Costas T. Lambrew Research Retreat 2024
Background:
• Prognostication of neurological outcome should be delayed at least 72 hours after cardiac arrest. Early stratification of risk severity provides important information enabling improved medical decision making, research enrollment, and precision medicine approaches.
• We propose that electroencephalography (EEG)-derived indices are valid biomarkers of severity of neurological injury very early after cardiac arrest.
• This study was designed to assess the relative impact of early clinical data and processed EEG indices in the first 6 hours after recovery of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after cardiac arrest.
A Continuous Objective Shivering Monitor During Targeted Temperature Management After Cardiac Arrest, Richard R. Riker, Erica Schlichting, David Seder, Mary Weatherbee, David J Gagnon, Teresa May
A Continuous Objective Shivering Monitor During Targeted Temperature Management After Cardiac Arrest, Richard R. Riker, Erica Schlichting, David Seder, Mary Weatherbee, David J Gagnon, Teresa May
Costas T. Lambrew Research Retreat 2024
Background:
• Shivering during targeted temperature management (TTM) after cardiac arrest is stressful and linked to cerebral metabolic crisis.
• Few publications report shivering incidence, timing, or severity during TTM, and shivering treatment recommendations conflict.
• To evaluate multimodal shivering assessments, we studied patients during TTM managed with surface cooling, moderate analgosedation, surface counterwarming, and intermittent neuromuscular blockade (NMB) and evaluated surface electromyographic (EMG) power in decibels using the Medtronic bispectral index (BIS) monitor.

The Association Of Season Of Surgery And Patient Reported Outcomes Following Total Hip Arthroplasty, Catherine M. Call, Andrew Lachance, Zachary Radford, Henry Stoddard, Callahan Sturgeon, George Babikian, Adam Rana, Brian J. Mcgrory
Costas T. Lambrew Research Retreat 2024
Introduction
• Understanding the impact of situational variables on surgical recovery can improve outcomes in total hip arthroplasty (THA).
• Literature examining hospital outcomes by season remains inconclusive, with limited focus on patient experience.
• The aim of this study was to investigate if there were differences in hospital and patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMS) after THA depending on the season in an area with 4 distinct seasons.

INTRODUCTION: The HEART (Healthcare Enabled by Artificial Intelligence in Real-Time) Project pioneers developing real-time machine learning (ML) predictive analytics to address the need to improve outcomes during recovery from open heart surgery. Our broad objective is to enhance patient outcomes by developing, validating and deploying predictive algorithms into the hands of clinical teams as an early warning and guidance system, allowing care teams an opportunity to be proactive.

Increasing Equitable Access To Pediatric Specialty Care In Maine Through Implementation Of Econsults, David Ireland, Rachel Rockers, Sarah M. Gabrielson, Anya K. Cutler, Laura J. Faherty, Genevieve Whiting
Costas T. Lambrew Research Retreat 2024
Introduction
•Barriers to accessing pediatric specialty care exist for many and are not experienced equally by all.
•eConsults are an asynchronous provider-provider referral modality to obtain low-barrier specialist input in place of some face-to-face (F2F) visits.
•We evaluated sociodemographic factors associated with referral to and receipt of specialist input before and after eConsult implementation at MaineHealth to examine equity implications.

Robotic Vs. Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery, Chloe Aiken, Abigail Reera
Nurse Residency
Background: As OR nurses, we have seen an increase in the number of robot-assisted bariatric surgeries instead of being performed laparoscopically. In the United States, the first surgical robotic telepresence system became available in 1987. From there, IntuitiveSurgical, Inc. reworked that system to create numerous prototypes leading to the DaVinci series that we utilize at SMHC.

Neurocope: A Novel Intervention To Increase Professional Fulfillment And Reduce Burnout By Connecting Neuro-Icu Healthcare Workers To Their Post-Recovery Patients, Angela Leclerc, Mary Sorcher, David Seder, Sara Penrod, Meghan Searight, Alison Daley, Sarah Hanken, Christine Lord, Whitney Trosper, Stephanie Chan, Jennifer Cote
Neurocope: A Novel Intervention To Increase Professional Fulfillment And Reduce Burnout By Connecting Neuro-Icu Healthcare Workers To Their Post-Recovery Patients, Angela Leclerc, Mary Sorcher, David Seder, Sara Penrod, Meghan Searight, Alison Daley, Sarah Hanken, Christine Lord, Whitney Trosper, Stephanie Chan, Jennifer Cote
Costas T. Lambrew Research Retreat 2023
Background:
Healthcare workers (HCWs) caring for patients with acute neurologic injury in the ICU rarely receive detailed information on the recovery of their patients. The missing connection between the period of acute neurologic injury and long-term outcomes is a psychological burden that contributes to moral fatigue and burnout.
We hypothesize that attending an Interprofessional conference series through which patients describe their acute brain injury and recovery to Neuro-ICU HCWs may ease moral fatigue, increasing professional fulfillment and reducing burnout.

Food Insecurity Screening In People With Cystic Fibrosis, Rebecca Edwards, Lauren Tate, Ana Cairns, Cheryl Coyne, Kathleen Walker, Kim Violette, Ann Ladner, Jessica D'Amico
Costas T. Lambrew Research Retreat 2023
Background: Adequate nutrition is a cornerstone in the management of cystic fibrosis (CF). Malabsorption secondary to pancreatic insufficiency and increased energy demands related to lung disease can increase energy requirements over twofold for a person with CF. Food insecurity (FI) affects approximately 10% of Mainers (1). Per the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, there may be up to a threefold increase in the prevalence of FI in the CF population (2). To address this issue, we implemented FI screening in the adult and pediatric CF programs to identify the prevalence of FI within our population and to offer immediate interventions.
