Objectives: Patients hospitalized with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The aim of this study was to determine whether the adoption of a VTE protocol would change rates of medical VTE prophylaxis (low molecular weight heparin) in patients with IBD and a central venous catheter (CVC), while subsequently decreasing the incidence of VTE in this population.

Methods: A protocol for VTE prophylaxis in IBD was established in March of 2018.

Aim Of Study: The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as it relates to American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines during cardiac arrests in a pediatric emergency department at a quaternary children's hospital.

Background And Objectives: High-quality CPR increases the likelihood of survival from pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. However, optimal performance of high-quality CPR during transition of care between prehospital and pediatric emergency department providers is challenging, and survival without comorbidities remains extremely low for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Historically, treatment options for refractory neuroimmunologic disorders have been limited. Use of intrathecal rituximab has been described in a few case reports but experience in pediatric patients is limited. Here, we report our experience with intrathecal rituximab in 5 pediatric patients with refractory neuroimmunologic conditions.

Introduction: The International Neuromodulation Society (INS) has determined that there is a need to provide an expert consensus that defines the appropriate use of neuromodulation technologies for appropriate patients. The Neuromodulation Appropriateness Consensus Committee (NACC) was formed to give guidance to current practice and insight into future developments.

Methods: The INS executive board selected members of the international scientific community to analyze scientific evidence for current and future innovations and to use clinical experience to fill in any gaps in information.
