Using a Clinical Pathway to Safely Reduce Transfers and Admissions for Croup in the Urgent Care
Although we saw a downward trend in the percentage of patients with croup transferred after receiving RE in our UCs post-CP revision, we did not see a significant decrease over time. However, this study demonstrates that providing additional RE doses for croup in UC and using shared decision-making with families in the setting for observation did not increase length of stay or return visits.
