Many health care professionals in the Middle East, including Jordan, are, nevertheless, hesitant to introduce open visiting rules for ICU patients, citing a variety of problems and concerns. We give a physician's viewpoint on the advantages and challenges of regular family visits for ICU patients in Jordan in this research. We contend that family visits can improve patient outcomes, strengthen communication and trust, and reduce stress and exhaustion for patients and health care personnel alike. We also explore cultural norms, infection control, staff education, and family support as potential barriers and answers for establishing open visiting policy in Jordan.","PeriodicalId":475318,"journal":{"name":"JAP Academy Journal","volume":"10 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141233198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While well-documented in adults, managing and understanding pediatric VTE remains challenging for healthcare providers. Currently, there are no validated guidelines for pediatric thromboprophylaxis, leading many hospitals to adopt a stratified approach based on bleeding and VTE risk factors [3]. This case report aims to describe the management and outcome of a 14-year-old female who developed VTE following a motor vehicle collision.","PeriodicalId":475318,"journal":{"name":"JAP Academy Journal","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134927227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
