Inappropriate antibiotic prescribing to pediatric Medicaid patients was compared among high-volume and non-high-volume prescribers. High-volume prescribers had a higher percentage of inappropriate prescriptions than non-high-volume prescribers (17.2% versus 15.8%, = 0.005). Targeting high-volume prescribers for stewardship efforts is a practical approach to reducing outpatient antibiotic prescribing that also captures inappropriate use.

Aim: The requirement during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment regardless of experience caused high levels of anxiety among healthcare professionals. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an in situ interprofessional simulation training conducted to improve readiness and preparedness for ECMO management of patients with COVID-19 at a non-high-volume ECMO centre.
Methods: Three emergency physicians, three clinical engineers and two nurses attended the 3-h simulation held at Hirosaki University Hospital in December 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The effect of high-volume intraoperative fluid administration on outcomes among pediatric patients undergoing living donor liver transplantation.

Background: Pediatric patients undergoing liver transplantation are particularly susceptible to complications arising from intraoperative fluid management strategies. Conventional liberal fluid administration has been challenged due to its association with increased perioperative morbidity. This study aimed to assess the impact of intraoperative high-volume fluid therapy on pediatric patients who are undergoing living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).

Article Synopsis
- Robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) is commonly performed for bladder cancer, offering benefits such as improved visualization and stability during surgery, but it comes with significant postoperative risks.
- A study of 50 patients in Japan found that a high percentage experienced complications post-surgery, with most common issues being gastrointestinal problems and urinary tract infections.
- Factors influencing the choice of urinary diversion methods (extracorporeal vs. intracorporeal) were analyzed, showing that complications were often linked to higher fluid infusion during the procedure.

Background: Electronic health record (EHR) tools can improve prescribing of guideline-recommended therapies for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), but their effectiveness may vary by physician workload.
Objectives: This paper aims to assess whether physician workload modifies the effectiveness of EHR tools for HFrEF.
Methods: This was a prespecified subgroup analysis of the BETTER CARE-HF (Building Electronic Tools to Enhance and Reinforce Cardiovascular Recommendations for Heart Failure) cluster-randomized trial, which compared effectiveness of an alert vs message vs usual care on prescribing of mineralocorticoid antagonists (MRAs).
