Opioid exposure in pregnancy has tripled in that time, with devastating effects on both maternal mortality and newborn morbidity. Fetal exposure of these substances during pregnancy may cause symptoms of withdrawal postnatally when substance sources are interrupted after birth. Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) and NOWS: Neonatal Opioid withdrawal syndrome is a serious multisystemic disease and can present as poor feeding, poor sleep and excessive cry and irritability, including seizures. Traditional management of neonatal opioid withdrawal after delivery has been primarily medicalized, often resulting in protracted NICU admissions isolating infants from parental care. Research has highlighted a need for practice change when caring for newborns exposed to substances. The Eat Sleep Console model of care is a framework that provides a new way of understanding the parent-newborn experience of antenatal opioid exposure as a unit even after delivery. It centres the parent as not only the newborn’s primary source of comfort but also empowers parental agency to assess and oversee infant needs as an essential member of the care team. ESC encourages a nonjudgemental and attachment-based approach to reframe management of Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome as a parent-provider collaboration, prioritizing non-pharmacologic strategies to optimize infant achievement of their normal milestones related to eating, sleeping, consoling and weight gain. It has been validated to reduce medication use, duration of hospitalization and separations between parent and child. Shared Health Manitoba has endorsed the implementation of Eat Sleep Console across the province. In order to ensure consistency of care and consistency of practice at all of our 13 obstetrical sites provincial documents have been drafted. These documents are now being trialed at the Health Sciences Centre Women’s Hospital in Winnipeg. We will present our real-world experience implementing ESC in this presentation. Extending a warm welcome to you, your colleagues and students to join us at the Catalysts for Care 2024 Nursing Grand Rounds Speaker Series!
