Risk factors for geriatric trauma readmission were explored, specifically, discharge functional status. Discharge functional status does not predict geriatric trauma readmission however having 3 or more comorbidities and increasing length of stay does predict readmission. journals.lww.com/jtrauma/abstra…

This study suggests that extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) may be associated with improved outcomes in selected children with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Because the number of children who received ECPR was small, these findings should be interpreted as hypothesis-generating and support further prospective—and ideally randomized—evaluation of pediatric ECPR.

Watchful waiting: The Power of Patience: High-Impact Insights on Pediatric Abdominal Trauma Observation 🩺🛡️ Can a little extra time in the ED save a child from unnecessary radiation? ⏱️ This massive study of 7,442 children proves that observation is a game-changer for blunt abdominal trauma, but it’s important to understand the full picture,. 💪🏾Why this study is a heavyweight (Strengths): -Massive Scale: This was a rigorous prospective multicenter cohort study involving children across six level-1 trauma centers,. -Precision Modeling: Researchers used multivariable logistic regression to adjust for critical factors like age, clinician suspicion, and PECARN risk variables,. -Proven Safety: The study successfully showed reduced CT use—especially in intermediate-risk cases—without an increase in missed injuries,. -Standardized Training: Enrolling clinicians underwent standardized training to ensure consistent documentation of clinical findings. ⚠️ Know the fine print (Limitations): -Setting Matters: The study was conducted in pediatric-specific EDs, so the results might differ in general community hospitals with less pediatric trauma experience. -Unstructured Observation: There was no set protocol for the observation period; the duration, lab tests, and ultrasound use were left to clinician discretion. -Older Kids Skew: The study population skewed toward older children, who are often easier to evaluate for abdominal pain and tenderness than younger ones. -Cost-Effectiveness: No specific cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted for abdominal trauma observation in this study. 🤓The Bottom Line: Choosing to observe rather than scan can safely lower CT utilization with a minimal median increase in ED stay of only 27 minutes. 🔗 Read the full paper here: annemergmed.com/article/S0196-… #PediatricTrauma #EmergencyMedicine #EvidenceBasedMedicine #ERDoctor #MedicalResearch 📚Reference: Ishimine P, et al.
