Foreign body ingestion in children: impact of a digital app on clinical decision-making

Listen to this summary

This study investigates the impact of a digital decision-support app on the management of foreign body ingestion (FBI) cases in children, aiming to assess adherence to standardized protocols and identify areas for improvement. The authors found significant deviations from recommended guidelines, particularly among interhospital transfers, suggesting that structured decision-support tools could enhance clinical decision-making and reduce unnecessary interventions. Overall, the findings highlight the need for improved adherence to evidence-based management strategies in pediatric emergency care.
