Grand Rounds Recap 5.18.22
It was another exciting week here in Cincinnati as we kicked off grand rounds with a session on performance improvement during our quarterly leadership curriculum with Dr. McDonough and discussed alternatives to hospital admission and available outpatient resources in the era of high boarding with our Chair, Dr. Pancioli. We finished our day with an excellent discussion on prenatal mental health care with Dr. Wolochatiuk in her R4 Case Follow Up and on uncommon causes of disorientation in Dr. Zalesky’s Taming the SRU lecture.
Do You Hear What I Hear: Tinnitus and Auditory Disturbances
The majority of cases of hearing loss and tinnitus are not immediately dangerous and may be safely deferred to the outpatient setting. There are, however, several etiologies of such complaints that are dangerous and require prompt evaluation in the emergency department. The approach to hearing loss and/or tinnitus in the emergency department must focus on identifying characteristics that may clue the examiner in on a potentially harmful etiology.
