  1. Irreversible electroporation for treating primary lung cancer and metastases in the lung (IPG441)

    Evidence-based recommendations on irreversible electroporation for treating primary lung cancer and metastases in the lung. This involves using electrical pulses to kill cancer cells.

  2. What is the impact and longer-term clinical outcomes of adding procalcitonin testing to standard clinical practice with protocol-driven care in the NHS, to guide the use of antibiotic treatment in children and adults presenting to the emergency department with respiratory tract infection?

    Comes from guidance Procalcitonin testing for diagnosing and monitoring sepsis (ADVIA Centaur BRAHMS PCT assay, BRAHMS PCT Sensitive...

  3. What is the impact and longer-term clinical outcomes of adding procalcitonin testing to standard clinical practice with protocol-driven care in the NHS, to guide the use of antibiotic treatment in children having antibiotics for a suspected or proven infection in an intensive care unit?

    Comes from guidance Procalcitonin testing for diagnosing and monitoring sepsis (ADVIA Centaur BRAHMS PCT assay, BRAHMS PCT Sensitive...

  4. Percutaneous retroperitoneal endoscopic necrosectomy (IPG384)

    Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous retroperitoneal endoscopic necrosectomy. This involves inserting a thin telescope through a small cut in the side above the hip and using it to wash out and remove the dead tissue.

  5. Diabetic foot problems: prevention and management (NG19)

    This guideline covers preventing and managing foot problems in children, young people and adults with diabetes. It aims to reduce variation in practice, including antibiotic prescribing for diabetic foot infections.

  6. Irreversible electroporation for treating renal cancer (IPG443)

    Evidence-based recommendations on irreversible electroporation (IRE) for treating renal cancer. This involves using electrical pulses to kill cancer cells, applied directly to the tumour through special needles.

  7. Temperature control to improve neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest (IPG782)

    Evidence-based recommendations on temperature control to improve neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest. This involves controlling a person’s body temperature while they are still unconscious after their heart has been restarted. Either their body is kept at a normal temperature of between 36.5°C and 37.5°C to prevent fever, or it is cooled to between 32.0°C and 36.0°C (therapeutic hypothermia).

  8. Cytoreduction surgery with hyperthermic intraoperative peritoneal chemotherapy for peritoneal carcinomatosis (IPG688)

    Evidence-based recommendations on cytoreduction surgery with hyperthermic intraoperative peritoneal chemotherapy for peritoneal carcinomatosis. This involves surgically removing visible cancer and bathing the abdominal cavity with heated chemotherapy fluid to reach any remaining cancer cells.

  9. Intravenous fluid therapy in children and young people in hospital (QS131)

    This quality standard covers managing intravenous (IV) fluids safely and effectively for babies, children and young people (from birth to 16) in hospital. It describes high-quality care in priority areas for improvement.

  10. Laparoscopic mobilisation of the greater omentum for breast reconstruction (IPG253)

    Evidence-based recommendations on laparoscopic mobilisation of the greater omentum for breast reconstruction. This involves removing the fatty tissue using special instruments through small cuts in the abdomen.

  11. Preterm prelabour rupture of membranes: What are the relative risks and benefits of induced labour versus expectant management in women whose membranes have ruptured spontaneously between 34 and 37 weeks?

    explanatory notes(if applicable) Why this is important: Intrauterine sepsis is more likely to develop in pregnancies that continue after...

  12. Antimicrobial stewardship (QS121)

    This quality standard covers the effective use of antimicrobial medicines (including antibiotics) to reduce the risk of antimicrobial resistance, which is when antimicrobial medicines lose their effectiveness. It covers all settings and all types of antimicrobials for treating bacterial, fungal, viral and parasitic infections. It describes high-quality care in priority areas for improvement.

  13. Living-donor lung transplantation for end-stage lung disease (IPG170)

    Evidence-based recommendations on living-donor lung transplantation for end-stage lung disease. This involves removing a lung from each of the two donors and replacing the recipient's lungs with the donor lungs.

  14. Autologous pancreatic islet cell transplantation for improved glycaemic control after pancreatectomy (IPG274)

    Evidence-based recommendations on autologous pancreatic islet cell transplantation for improved glycaemic control after pancreatectomy. This involves removing parts of the pancreas (islet cells) after the pancreas has been removed and inserting them into the liver to restart insulin production.
