N2  - Strong rare-earth magnet ingestion by children is dangerous. Multiple magnets can attract one another from different parts of the gastrointestinal tract to cause obstruction, fistulation or perforation.  The incidence of paediatric magnet ingestions appears to be increasing.  In response to this hazard, the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) Best Practice Guidelines were published in 2021 to
provide management recommendations for children presenting to the emergency department after ingesting strong
magnets.  In order to evaluate the
adherence of these guidelines in clinical practice we audited the guidelines using a national dataset from a prospective observational study of paediatric
magnet ingestion. Eight audit standards
were derived from the RCEM Best
Practice Guideline for the purposes of
this study.
