Title: The Newborn Hearing Screening Programs At Inova Hospitals


1
The Newborn Hearing Screening Programs At Inova
Hospitals
  • Ken Henry, Ph.D.
  • Inova Fairfax Hospital For Women Children
  • Falls Church, VA
  • Inova Fair Oaks Hospital
  • Fairfax, VA

2
Inova Fairfax NHS Program
  • Fairfax Hospital Census Approaches 11,000
    Newborns Per Year
  • Average of 30 Per Day /Census Often Exceeds 50
    Per Day
  • Level I NICU (50 Bed)
  • Fair Oaks Hospital Census Exceeds 3,000 Per Year
  • The Two Hospitals Represent Nearly 1/6 Of The
    Annual Birthing Census In The State Of Virginia

Inova Fairfax NHS Program
  • Personnel Considerations
  • Two Or More Screeners Present Every Day
  • One Screener Per Floor
  • Twelve Part-time Screeners (3 Audiologists)
  • Universal Screening Performed Daily
  • Three To Five Hours Per Day
  • Separate Protocols For WBN and NICU

4
Equipment - Fairfax Hospital
  • 2 Automated OAE Systems (EchoCheck)
  • One Unit Per Floor
  • One Additional Backup System
  • 2 Clinical OAE Systems (EchoPort ILO 88 TEOAE)
  • One Unit Per Floor
  • Quickscreen Protocol

5
Inova Fair Oaks NHS Program
  • Personnel Considerations
  • Ave. 11 Newborns Per Day
  • One Screener Daily
  • Equipment
  • 1 Automated OAE System (EchoCheck)
  • 1 Clinical OAE System (EchoPort ILO 88)
  • Quickscreen Protocol

6
Inova Fairfax Hospital Protocol
  • Well Newborn Screening Initially Began With 2
    Stage Process
  • OAE (EchoPort)
  • AABR (Algo 2e)
  • AOAE (EchoCheck)
  • Evolved To A One Stage Screening
  • Rescreen Clinic Two Stage Screen
  • Repeat TEOAE
  • AABR If Necessary

7
AOAE versus OAE
  • The Efficacy of UNHS Was Well Established Using
    TEOAEs
  • We Were Skeptical About The Capability Of
    Automated OAE Technology
  • 247 Newborns Were Assessed With AOAE, OAE and
    AABR. None Passed The AOAE And Subsequently
    Failed The OAE or AABR

8
AOAE versus OAE
  • 33 Did Not Pass the AOAE (EchoCheck) But Did
    Subsequently Pass The OAE and AABR Conducted
    Immediately After Initial Screen
  • 12 Did Not Pass the AOAE Or OAE But Did Pass The
    AABR
  • Implications?

9
The Use Of AABRSome Unfair Statistics
  • 804 AABR records
  • AABR Screenings Were Conducted On Newborns Who
    Referred On First Stage Screen With TEOAE
  • Average test time - 11.7 minutes

    stability of baby- if rocky course- ABR

When Do You Refer For Diagnostic Audiology and/or
Medical Evaluation?
  • JCIH 2000 recommendations for EDHI states All
    infants who do not pass the birth admission
    screen and any subsequent rescreening begin
    appropriate audiological and medical evaluations
    to confirm the presence of hearing loss before 3
    months of age
