Biography Download Curriculum Vitae Dr. Wyckoff earned her engineering science degree from Trinity University in San Antonio, TX. She then came to UTSW Medical Center at Dallas for medical school and subsequently stayed for General Pediatrics training. She remained at UTSW for Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine training and worked under Phil Shaul, MD on a project which elucidated how plasma membrane estrogen receptors are coupled to eNOS production via G-protein signaling. Upon completion of sub-specialty training she joined the faculty of UTSW Pediatrics Department to become the director of Newborn Resuscitation Services at Parkland Memorial Hospital, a large, urban county hospital with over 13,000 deliveries annually. She developed and coordinates an educational rotation in newborn resuscitation for the senior pediatric house-officer, 2nd year emergency medicine residents, neonatal-perinatal medicine fellows and OB anesthesia and MFM fellows. In addition, she oversees the continued development of the high-risk neonatal resuscitation team. Dr. Wyckoff maintains and utilizes one of the most comprehensive neonatal resuscitation databases in the country to continually try to improve neonatal resuscitation processes locally and nationally. Prospective resuscitation protocols are studied in the delivery room and she has utilized a neonatal piglet model of asphyxia-induced hypotension/bradycardia and asphyxia-induced asystole to better elucidate the hemodynamics and optimize resuscitation strategies during CPR in the controlled setting of the laboratory. She has served on the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation, Neonatal Life Support Task Force since 2003 and served as Chair from 2015-2022. She remains a task force member. She has served on the American Academy of Pediatrics Neonatal Resuscitation Program Steering Committee since 2006, was Co-chair from 2010-2014 and currently serves as ILCOR Liaison to the committee. She has served on the AHA/AAP Neonatal Resuscitation Guidelines writing group that develops resuscitation guidelines for North America since 2015. Since 2013 she has served as UTSW site PI for the NICHD Neonatal Research Network which conducts multi-center randomized controlled trials to improve the care of fragile newborns.
