Air Care Orientation Case #1
This is Case #1 of our Air Care Orientation Curriculum! This curriculum is designed to help prepare our rising R2's for their new responsibility as flight physicians. These cases are discussed amongst our training flight docs and this is the resultant learning points. In this case, we discuss a sick trauma patient that needs multiple interventions. But what interventions need to be done? In what order? And who should do them? Read on to find out!
EKG Toxicology
Emergency medicine physicians frequently assess and treat patients who have accidental or intentional poisonings. United States poison centers receive over two million case referrals per year. And, about 20% of these poisonings present to an Emergency Department for evaluation. Evaluation of these patients always includes a history and physical, but further testing can provide valuable information. Blood work is often be needed, but an EKG is a faster, cheaper tool that can provide key pieces of information prompting early interventions.
Grand Rounds Recap 3.14.18
This week's Grand Rounds opened with Dr. Curry discussing the paucity of literature on double defibrillation in VF. Dr. Mand then led small group discussions about the clinical utility of the pelvic xray. This was followed by Dr. Kreitzer expertly identifying incomplete Brown-Sequard Syndrome in Dr. Banning's CPC. Dr. Liebman discussed an interesting presentation of meningitis in a pediatric patient. Finally, our PEM colleagues led case based presentations of pediatric DKA, cat scratch disease, and a simulation featuring a patient in hypothermic cardiac arrest.
