This week in grand rounds started off with Dr. Humphries reviewing the evidence of various interventions in traumatic cardiac arrest and providing a clear algorithm to follow in patients who suffer blunt traumatic cardiac arrest. We then had an in depth discussion on the approach to the encephalopathic patient in the Emergency Department. Dr. Bryant then presented some interesting cases that she had on her most recent trip to Guyana, followed by Dr. Ramsey’s in depth review of the emergent complications of acute leukemia. We finished off the day with our pediatric Emergency Medicine colleagues who led us through a simulation and oral boards cases.

After a brief hiatus we returned to grand rounds this week and started off with an in depth discussion on common overdoses and treatments in the ED with our guest lecturer and expert toxicologist Dr. Gillian Beauchamp. We then got some hands on time with the new hand held ultrasound machines that are now available on Air Care as well as reviewed pre-hospital management of traumatic pneumothoaces with Dr. Humphries. Finally, airway guru Dr. Carleton took us on a deep dive on airway management in angioedema.
Grand Rounds Recap 11.20.19
Dr. Golden kicked grand rounds off this week with our monthly morbidity and mortality conference, followed by Dr. Lane’s deep dive on massive pulmonary embolism in cardiac arrest and how to approach this. Dr. Owens then gave us a detailed review on a probably-more-common-than-you-think parasite that has started popping up in the US, and our excellent ED pharmacists gave us a crash course on common antidotes to various poisonings, overdoses, and bites that we frequently see in the ED. Finally, Dr. Ham finished up with a review of the importance of chronic hypertension in our ED population and how we can make a difference especially those with limited access to care.
