A Simulation and Small-Group Pediatric Emergency Medicine Course for Generalist Healthcare Providers: Gastrointestinal and Nutrition Emergencies

Adeola Adekunbi Kosoko, MD*, Alicia E Genisca, MD^, Nicholas A Peoples, MSc, MA†, Connor Tompkins†, Ryan Sorensen† and Joy Mackey, MD**

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8WH2K Issue 9:4 No ratings yet.
The aim of this curriculum is to increase learners’ proficiency in identifying and stabilizing acutely ill pediatric patients with gastrointestinal medical or surgical disease or complications of malnutrition. This module focuses on the diagnosis and management of gastroenteritis, acute bowel obstruction, and deficiencies of feeding and nutrition. The target audience for this curriculum is generalist physicians and nurses in limited-resource settings.

A Case Report on Dermatomyositis in a Female Patient with Facial Rash and Swelling

Rosalind Ma, MD* and Colin Danko, MD*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8506D Issue 9:4 No ratings yet.
The physical exam revealed significant periorbital swelling, facial edema, and a maculopapular rash across the upper chest, symmetrically across the extensor surfaces of the hands and the bilateral arms and thighs. The photograph of her face shows light-red to violaceous macules and patches, with inclusion of the nasolabial folds as well the forehead and upper eyelids with periorbital edema (heliotrope sign). The other rash images show “Shawl sign” (photograph of back showing erythema over the posterior aspect of the upper back), V sign (photograph of chest showing light-red violaceous plaque on mid-chest), Gottron's papules (photograph of hands showing light red scaly papules overlying the right proximal interphalangeal joint [R PIP] and the metacarpophalangeal joint [MCP], and holster sign (photograph of thigh showing light red patches on bilateral lateral thighs). This distribution of rashes is pathognomonic for DM.

Computed Tomography Findings in Non-Obstetric Vulvar Hematoma: A Case Report

Eleanor M Birch, MD, MPH*, Theodore McClean, MD* and Scott Szymanski, MD*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8194H Issue 9:4 No ratings yet.
Bedside ultrasound was first used to evaluate for evidence of abscess or cyst formation. Ultrasound demonstrated a hypoechoic area within the right labia without evidence of a cyst or abscess wall. Based on these findings, an angiogram CT of the pelvis was obtained which revealed a vulvar hematoma with evidence of active arterial extravasation. In both the coronal and axial view, there is an asymmetric area of isodensity in the right labia representing a hematoma (blue circled area). Angiography may show areas of active extravasation, which appears as hyperdensity within the area of hematoma (see red arrow in coronal plane).

Utilization of an Asynchronous Online Learning Module Followed by Simulated Scenario to Train Emergency Medicine Residents in Mass-Casualty Triage

Justin P Delgado, DO*, Douglas Spencer, DO* and Leah M Bralow, MD*^

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J89S7Z Issue 9:3 No ratings yet.
The purpose of this session is to train EM residents in the use of the Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment (START) and pediatric JumpSTART algorithms for triage in mass casualty incidents (MCIs) using an asynchronous model. By the end of this small group session, learners will be able to: 1) describe START triage for adult MCI victims; 2) describe JumpSTART triage for pediatric MCI victims; 3) demonstrate the ability to apply the START and JumpSTART triage algorithms in a self-directed learning environment; 4) demonstrate the ability to apply the START and JumpSTART triage algorithms in a simulated mass casualty scenario under time constraints; and 5) demonstrate appropriate use of acute life-saving interventions as dictated by the START and JumpSTART triage algorithms in a high-pressure simulated environment.

Development and Design of a Pediatric Case-Based Virtual Escape Room on Organophosphate Toxicity

Kaitlyn Boggs, MD*, Manu Madhok, MD, MPH^ and Tania Ahluwalia, MD, MPH†**

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8DH1V Issue 9:3 No ratings yet.
By the end of the activity, learners should be able to: 1) recognize risk factors, symptoms, and presentation for organophosphate poisoning; 2) understand the radiologic and laboratory findings in organophosphate poisoning; 3) distinguish and differentiate electrocardiogram findings in common toxic ingestions; 4) explain the pathophysiology of organophosphate poisoning; 5) understand the importance of decontamination of the patient and personal protective equipment for staff for organophosphate poisoning; 6) describe the airway management of organophosphate poisoning; 7) describe the medical management of organophosphate poisoning, including antidotes and the correct dosing and 8) demonstrate teamwork through communication and collaboration.

First Aid Curriculum for Second Year Medical Students

Megan Stodola*, Megan Lantz*, Tina Chen, MD*^, Alexander Marelich, MD,^ and Isaac Philip, MD^

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8FH2J Issue 9:3 No ratings yet.
Small group activities were performed with a focus on case-based scenarios combined with hands-on instruction. The four scenarios were choking, seizure, anaphylaxis, and bleeding which were taught by an educator who was either faculty, an emergency medicine resident, or an upper-level medical student. Facilitators were provided an educational handout specific to their station to guide them through the teaching session. A PowerPoint presentation was also provided complete with supporting images and videos to share with the students each session.

Identification of a Human Trafficking Victim: A Simulation

Claire A Grosgogeat, BS*, Kelly Medwid, MD^, Rami H Mahmoud, BS* and Brooke Hensley, MD^

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8293F Issue 9:3 No ratings yet.
By the end of this simulation, participants will be able to: (1) Identify signs of human trafficking. (2) Demonstrate the ability to perform a primary and secondary assessment of a patient when there is concern for human trafficking. (3) Demonstrate the ability to appropriately separate an at-risk patient from a potential trafficker. (4) Identify resources and a reliable course of action to permanently remove the patient from the harmful situation.

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Causing a Seizure: An Assessment Simulation for Medical Students

Robert Rainer, MD*, Blair Creedle Reynolds, MD*, Cyrus Adeli^ and Christopher E San Miguel, MD, MEd*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8XH1H Issue 9:3 No ratings yet.
At the conclusion of the simulation leaners will be able to: 1) efficiently take a history from the patient and perform a physical exam (including a complete neurological exam); 2) identify red flag symptoms in a patient complaining of a headache; 3) order and interpret the results of a CT of the head and either a CT angiogram of the brain or a lumbar puncture to make the diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage; 4) demonstrate appropriate management of a seizure; and 5) utilize the I-PASS framework to communicate with the inpatient team during the transition of care.

High-Fidelity Simulation with Transvaginal Ultrasound in the Emergency Department

Levi Filler, DO* and Katrina Lettang, MD*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8606Q Issue 9:3 No ratings yet.
By the end of the session, learners should be able to 1) recognize the clinical indications for transvaginal ultrasound in the ED, 2) practice the insertion, orientation, and sweeping motions used to perform a TVPOCUS study, 3) interpret transvaginal ultrasound images showing an IUP or alternative pathologies, and 4) understand proper barrier, disinfection, and storage techniques for endocavitary probes.

A Man With Chest Pain After An Assault – A Case Report

Mi Song Kim, MD*, Francis Gan, MD*, Karl Nimtz, MD*, Daniel Ng, MD*^ and John Costumbrado, MD, MPH*^

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8J93S Issue 9:3 No ratings yet.
On exam, we found a suspected chest wall abscess with surrounding erythema (blue arrow). The patient underwent CT of the chest which showed a comminuted displaced midsternal fracture (yellow arrow) with moderate fluid and air anteriorly (red arrow), consistent with an abscess. His laboratory results had no significant abnormalities.
