Grand Rounds Recap 11.29.17
This week Dr. Lagasse gave us a great M&M covering intra-ocular foreign bodies, empyema management in the ED and septic cardiomyopathy. Dr. Iparraguirre lead small groups in EKG case studies in heart blocks, followed by Drs Nagle and LaFollette squaring off in a CPC of an undifferentiated patient with aphasia. Drs Goel and McKee wrapped up this week with a clinical soapbox on patient turnover and a case follow up of lytics in massive PE.
Heart Blocks: A Primer
We order and interpret numerous EKG’s during our shifts in the emergency department. EKG interpretation is one of the skills we need to be competent in and comfortable with as an emergency medicine physician. STEMI’s, ischemic changes and arrhythmias are some of the most important findings we focus on, and although straightforward, heart blocks can be easily overlooked. The goal of this post is to go over some of the most common and clinically relevant conduction blocks, how to manage them and what their disposition are.
Grand Rounds Recap 11.15.17
In this week's Grand Rounds, we had the honor of our guest lecturer, ED/critical care pioneer Dr. Kyle Gunnerson, teach us about ED ECMO and implementing the concept of the ED-ICU. That was followed by our Air Care Grand Rounds curriculum with a mix of hands-on practical learning, didactics and simulation sessions.
