    Abstract The implementation of lockdown and social distancing policies at the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic changed both the nature of pediatric traumatic injuries and how those injuries were managed by pediatric trauma centers. At the start of the pandemic, the number of injured children evaluated at trauma centers decreased. Trauma volumes have since rebounded, and a concerning increase in abuse-related injuries has been seen. Pediatric trauma systems responded to the pandemic with new approaches to protect health care providers, conserve critical resources, and assist adult trauma systems overburdened by patients with COVID-19. The widespread effect of COVID-19 continues to have significant repercussions on children's health, but the lessons learned and gaps exposed by the pandemic may be an opportunity to positively transform injury prevention and health care delivery.

    Abstract New communication technologies and generational differences in communication techniques create ethical challenges for pediatric surgeons. Using two hypothetical cases we explore the ethics of modern communication in pediatric surgery. The first case explores the ethics of text messaging with patients and families and of social media posts, both of which have useful ethical analogues in older communication technologies. The second case explores ways that generational experiential differences in learning can foster misunderstandings between team members at different levels of training and potentially impact important medical care decisions. The ethical rules that govern the delivery of patient care also apply to what we say and how we say it. Effective, ethical and compassionate communication will often be the aspect of therapy most appreciated by the patient and family.

    Abstract Background: Pediatric patients treated at trauma centers demonstrate improved outcomes, but investigation of optimal resource utilization surrounding the transfer is ongoing. We evaluated characteristics of operative pediatric trauma transfer patients for resource optimization.
    Methods: A retrospective review of pediatric trauma patients transferred to a level 1 pediatric trauma center from 2009 to 2019 was performed. Patients were categorized by initial operative subspecialty.
    Results: Of 4164 transferred patients, 33.9 ​% required operative intervention. 65 ​% of operations were performed on orthopedic patients, who were significantly less injured compared to other patients. General surgery patients were more likely to undergo surgery on day of transfer compared to orthopedic patients (39.4%vs 56.3 ​%, OR 2.0, CI 1.4-2.8).
    Conclusions: One-third of pediatric trauma transfer patients required operative intervention. The majority of surgeries were on orthopedic patients, who were less likely to undergo surgery on day of transfer. Critical evaluation of this patient population is required to safely utilize a less resource-intensive transfer process.

    Abstract Introduction: Patients with acute uncomplicated appendicitis will be increasingly asked to choose between surgery and antibiotic management. We developed a novel decision aid for patients in the emergency department (ED) with acute appendicitis who are facing this choice. We describe the development of the decision aid and an initial feasibility study of its implementation in a busy tertiary care ED.
    Materials and methods: We conducted a prepost survey analysis comparing patients before and after standardized implementation of the decision aid. Patients were surveyed about their experience making treatment decisions after discharge from the hospital. The primary outcome measure was the total score on the decisional conflict scale (; 0-100; lower scores better).
    Results: The study included 24 participants (12 in the predecision aid period; 12 in the post period). Only 33% of participants in each group knew antibiotics were a treatment option prior to arriving at the ED. Prior to implementing the use of decision aid, only 75% of patients reported being told antibiotics were a treatment option, while this increased to 100% after implementation of the decision aid. The mean total decisional conflict scalescores were similar in the pre and post periods (mean difference = 0.13, 95% CI: -13 - 13, P > 0.9).
    Conclusions: This novel appendicitis decision aid was effectively integrated into clinical practice and helped toinform patients about multiple treatment options. These data support further large-scale testing of the decision aid as part of standardized pathways for the management of patients with acute appendicitis.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Access to care for children requiring pediatric general or specialty surgery or trauma care who live in rural areas remains a challenge in the United States.
    Recent findings: The expertise of specialists in tertiary centers can be extended to rural and underserved areas using telemedicine. There are challenges to making these resources available that need to be methodically approached to facilitate appropriate relationships between hospitals and providers. Programs, such as the National Pediatric Readiness Project and the HRSA Emergency Medical Services for Children Program enhance the capability of the emergency care system to function optimally, keep children at the home hospital if resources are available, facilitate transfer of patients and relationship building, and develop necessary transfer protocols and guidelines between hospitals.
    Summary: Telehealth services have the potential to enhance the reach of tertiary care for children in rural and underserved areas where surgical and trauma specialty care is not readily available, particularly when used to augment the objectives of national programs.

    Abstract Background: Codeine and tramadol are commonly used analgesics in surgery. In 2013, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a contraindication to the use of codeine in tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy patients aged below 18 y. This warning was expanded in April 2017 to include tramadol and all children aged below 12 y. We sought to describe the prescribing of codeine and tramadol to contraindicated populations in Wisconsin before and after the release of the expanded FDA warning.
    Materials and methods: Using a statewide Wisconsin claims database, we identified common pediatric ambulatory surgical procedures across the specialties of otolaryngology, urology, general surgery, orthopedics, and ophthalmology. For these procedures, we examined the rates of perioperative codeine and tramadol prescription fills and change in prescribing after the FDA contraindication.
    Results: Surgeons in all of the specialties studied continued to prescribe codeine to pediatric patients after the contraindication, but tramadol was rarely prescribed. Procedures with relatively high rates of codeine fills were strabismus repair (65% of opioid fills), circumcision >1 yo (22%), and laparoscopic appendectomy (15%). Codeine fills significantly declined after the contraindication to 6% for circumcision >1 yo and 5% for orchiopexy and inguinal hernia repair. Otolaryngology, which was subject to the 2013 codeine contraindication, has low rates of codeine fills (under 2.5%) for the whole period studied. Codeine prescribing for strabismus repair showed no significant decline.
    Conclusions: Codeine, and to a lesser extent tramadol, continue to be prescribed to contraindicated populations of children. This represents a target for future de-implementation interventions.

    Abstract Injury to the solid abdominal organs-liver, spleen, kidney, and pancreas-is one of the most common injury patterns in pediatric blunt trauma. Pediatric trauma centers are becoming increasingly successful in managing these injuries without operative intervention. Well-validated guidelines have been established for liver and spleen injury management, and operative intervention is reserved for patients who show evidence of active bleeding after resuscitation. No such guidelines yet exist for the management of traumatic injury of the kidney or pancreas. Exploratory laparotomy remains the treatment of choice in patients suffering hemodynamic collapse, but interventional radiologic or endoscopic procedures are increasingly used to manage all but the most devastating solid organ injuries.
