Proud is an understatement.
High Pediatric Readiness in EDs is linked to lower mortality risk. The National Pediatric Readiness Project Assessment helps your ED identify improvements that matter most for better outcomes.

Intraoperative cholangiograms are a valuable tool if correctly interpreted. Synoptic reporting, a highly structured form of documentation, can promote thorough, deliberate intraoperative analysis. Check out the ABCDEF template proposed by @MBosleyMD et al!

Very few faculty 1 year out of training can teach this course with confidence and experience. Lucky to have @MBosleyMD teaching our trainees how to perform CBDE and interpret IOC. 50 LCBDEs 1 year into practice. @cutitoutPODCAS1@EricKnauerMD@rbarbosa91
Wire-ready cholangiography, proximal power flush, balloons, scopes, lithotripsy! The residents learned the gamut today in our OSHU LCBDE lab. Watch out CBD stones-these guys are coming for you.

On #VeteransDay2024, we honor the brave and selfless military pediatric surgeons who have not only dedicated their lives to healing and caring for our youngest heroes, but have also answered the call to serve our nation in times of need. Thank you for your service!
Inviting a trauma patient and their parents back to speak about their experience is such a special moment with trauma conferences. Thank you for including this sweet patient and his family @PediTraumaSoc
Go to the supply room and *get the supplies yourself*.
And this isn’t just to be nice… it’s also almost always faster. You will save yourself time in the long run by knowing where things are.
Most children with AAST-OIS Grade III-IV pancreatic injuries are managed nonoperatively. While it is unclear if NOM or OM leads to superior outcomes, NOM does afford a chance to limit an invasive procedure and its attendant risks and time to recovery.
