    AbstractThere are a growing number of medically complex children with implanted devices. Emergency physicians with a basic knowledge of these devices can troubleshoot and fix many of the issues that may arise. Recognition of malfunction of these devices can reduce morbidity and mortality among this special population. In this article, we review common issues that may arise in children with gastrostomy tubes, central nervous system shunts, cochlear implants, and vagal nerve stimulators.Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
