Point of Care Ultrasound Illustrating Small Bowel Obstruction

Badriah Alruwaili, MBBS* and Shadi Lahham, MD*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8T637Issue 3:3 No ratings yet.
POCUS of the small bowel illustrated significantly dilated loops of bowel (white line), thickened bowel wall (white arrow) and to-and-fro peristalsis, consistent with small bowel obstruction.

The Use of a Social Media Based Curriculum for Newly Matched Interns Transitioning into Emergency Medicine Residency

Joel C Park, MD*, Miriam Kulkarni, MD* and Mary McLean, MD*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8F92GIssue 3:2 No ratings yet.
This curriculum is designed to bridge this gap by fostering an environment in which incoming interns can communicate, collaborate, and practice clinical reasoning with each other and faculty prior to their arrival in residency. The goals and objectives were tailored to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) level 1 milestones in patient care. 1) Interpret basic ECGs; 2) Demonstrate ability to interpret basic radiographs; 3) Identify common visual diagnoses; 4) Identify common neurological emergencies on head imaging; 5) Recognize basic airway anatomy; 6) Demonstrate successful application of FOAMed resources to clinical cases; 7) Interpret common ultrasound images; 8) Describe common ED procedures; 9) Demonstrate fundamental knowledge of evidence-based medicine and biostatistics

Bell’s Palsy

Patrick G Meloy, MD*, Todd A Taylor, MD*, Chris Dudley, MD* and Michelle D Lall, MD*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J89G9M Issue 3:2 No ratings yet.
At the end of this oral boards session, examinees will: 1) Demonstrate ability to perform a thorough neurologic examination including full cranial nerve exam, National Institutes of Health (NIH) stroke scale assessment, strength and sensation and reflex testing, pronator drift, speech repetition. 2) Differentiate between Bell’s Palsy and acute stroke with facial paralysis. 3) List appropriate laboratory testing for a case of peripheral facial nerve paralysis (basic metabolic panel [BMP]; complete blood count [CBC]; coagulation studies if considering lumbar puncture; human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test if high-risk by history, or if bilateral; Lyme titer if in endemic area, or if bilateral). 4) Select appropriate treatments (steroids, eye lubricant and patch, PCP referral) for peripheral facial nerve paralysis.

High Fidelity In Situ Shoulder Dystocia Simulation

Andrew Pelikan, MD* and Timothy Koboldt, MD*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J88305D Issue 3:2 No ratings yet.
At the end of this simulation, learners will: 1) Recognize impending delivery and mobilize appropriate resources (ie, both obstetrics [OB] and NICU/pediatrics); 2) Identify risk factors for shoulder dystocia based on history and physical; 3) Recognize shoulder dystocia during delivery; 4) Demonstrate maneuvers to relieve shoulder dystocia; 5) Communicate with team members and nursing staff during resuscitation of a critically ill patient.

Fainting Spells

Brittany Guest, DO*, Amir Rouhani, MD* and Steven Lai, MD*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8Z91R Issue 3:2 No ratings yet.
ABSTRACT: Audience: The target audience for this simulation is 4th year medical students, emergency medicine residents, pediatric residents, and family medicine residents. Introduction: Brugada syndrome is defined as the combination of specific electrocardiogram (ECG) changes and clinical manifestations of a ventricular arrhythmia, including syncope and sudden cardiac arrest.1 Brugada syndrome is caused by a mutation in the phase-0 cardiac sodium channel.

Guillain-Barrè

Jennifer Yee, DO*, Andrew M King MD* and Geremiha Emerson, MD*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8TH06 Issue 3:2 No ratings yet.
At the conclusion of the simulation session, learners will be able to: 1) Recognize the clinical signs and symptoms associated with Guillain-Barré syndrome, including muscle weakness and hyporeflexia. 2) Identify abnormal vital signs secondary to dysautonomia. 3) Discuss evaluation for impending respiratory failure, including bedside pulmonary function testing. 4) Discuss the management of Guillain-Barré, including management of dysautonomia and respiratory failure, as well as definitive management with plasmapheresis versus intravenous immunoglobulin. 5) Appropriately disposition the patient to the intensive care unit. 6) Effectively communicate with team members and nursing staff during resuscitation of a critically ill patient
