Grand Rounds Recap 06.09.21
This week’s Grand Rounds was kicked off with our inaugural “The Art of EM” lecture that included a panel of our esteemed non-UC trained faculty members Drs. Lang, Minges, D.Thompson, Adan, and Stolz. Dr. Gillespie then expertly led us through hand infections in her R1 Clinical Knowledge lecture. Drs. Comiskey & Crawford took us on a deep dive of the literature surrounding the evaluation and management of DVTs. Lastly, our PEM colleagues walked us through a great video-simulation case series on critical pediatric cardiac pathology!
Dyspepsia in the ED
Dyspepsia and epigastric pain secondary to gastritis is a common presentation seen in the Emergency Department. Patients with dyspepsia want both quick and sustained relief of their symptoms. A thorough understanding of the evidence behind acute and long-term treatments of dyspepsia is key. In this post, Dr. Justine Milligan outlines the many treatment options available to the ED provider.
A New Schema for Extraglottic Devices
Airway devices abound both in the ED and in the prehospital environment. Over the past few decades the use of extraglottic devices has increased significantly. In this post, Dr. Andrew Cathers recaps a recent article from Annals of Emergency Medicine where the authors sought to categorize these devices by the ways in which they are placed and to then apply that categorization to a cohort of deceased patients to hopefully shed light on the use and failures of these devices.
