Article Synopsis
- A standardized clinical assessment and management plan (SCAMP) was created for children with ileocolic intussusception to help safely discharge patients from the emergency department (ED) after enema reduction, with specific follow-up criteria.
- In studies, 76% of patients met discharge criteria, and no serious complications like bowel perforation occurred in those discharged, while the majority avoided antibiotic use.
- Follow-up phone calls were made to a significant portion of discharged patients, with 74% not needing to return to care, although most who did return went back to the ED rather than outpatient clinics.
