Modification of an Airway Training Mannequin to Teach Engagement of the Hyoepiglottic Ligament
DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8R06PBy the end of this education session, participants should be able to: 1) identify relevant airway anatomy during intubation, including base of the tongue, epiglottis, midline vallecular fold, anterior arytenoids; 2) appreciate the value of a stepwise anatomically guided approach to intubation; 3) become familiar with the midline vallecular fold and underlying anatomy, including the hyoepiglottic ligament, and how proper placement of the laryngoscope can result in improved glottic visualization.
A Realistic, Low-Cost Simulated Automated Chest Compression Device
DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8M63CBy the end of this educational session using a resuscitation trainer or high-fidelity manikin, learners should be able to: 1) recognize appropriate application of simulated ACCD to an ongoing resuscitation case; 2) demonstrate proper positioning of simulated ACCD in manikin model and 3) integrate simulated ACCD to provide compressions appropriately throughout cardiac arrest scenario.
Low-Cost Fishhook Removal Simulation
DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8Q64PThe goal of this small group session is to fill the gap in training on fishhook injuries. At the end of the session participants should be able to describe the parts of a fishhook, as well as demonstrate and have increased confidence in performing multiple fishhook removal techniques.
Adolescent with Diabetic Ketoacidosis, Hypothermia and Pneumomediastinum
DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8FP8JBy the end of the simulation, learners will be able to: 1) develop a differential diagnosis for an adolescent who presents obtunded with shortness of breath; 2) discuss the management of diabetic ketoacidosis; 3) discuss management of hypothermia in a pediatric patient; 4) discuss appropriate ventilator settings in a patient with diabetic ketoacidosis; and 5) demonstrate interpersonal communication with family, nursing, and consultants during high stress situations.
Inhalational Injury Secondary to House Fire
DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8TW7NAt the conclusion of the simulation session, learners will be able to: 1) recognize the indications for intubation in a thermal burn/inhalation injury patient; 2) develop a systematic approach to an inhalational injury airway; and 3) recognize indications for transfer to burn center.
A Homemade, Cost-Effective, Realistic Pelvic Exam Model
DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8HM0FAfter utilizing this pelvic examination model, the learner will be able to: 1) demonstrate ability to perform a pelvic examination comfortably and safely, 2) demonstrate ability to obtain a cervical swab on female patients, and 3) show proficient understanding of female anatomy.
How to Build a Low-Cost Video-Assisted Laryngoscopy Suite for Airway Management Training
DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8C068Using an anatomically accurate airway simulator, by the end of a 20–30-minute instructional session, learners should be able to: 1) Understand proper positioning and use the video laryngoscope with dexterity, 2) identify airway landmarks via the video screen, and 3) demonstrate ability to intubate a simulated airway.
Construction of Soft Prep Cadaver Pericardiocentesis Training Model and Implementation Among Emergency Medicine Residents
DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J87930By the end of this session, residents will gain increased procedural competence and confidence with pericardiocentesis. Residents will be able to identify necessary supplies for the procedure, identify relevant surface anatomy and ultrasound views, and successfully aspirate fluid from model effusion.
A Man with Sore Throat—A Case Report
DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8MH0BVideo laryngoscopy of the upper airway was performed two days after initial burn injury. The images obtained demonstrated laryngeal edema and inflammation near the epiglottis. The dot identifies the epiglottis and the asterix identifies the area of moderate thermal burns. Imaging also demonstrated adequate patency of airway and ruled out the need for intubation at that time.
High-Efficiency Ultrasound-Guided Regional Nerve Block Workshop for Emergency Medicine Residents
DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J84P8RThe objective of this workshop is to provide emergency medicine residents the confidence and skill sets needed to effectively perform five commonly used UGRNBs for conditions encountered in the emergency department. Through this one-day, accelerated workshop, residents will be given an opportunity to sharpen their UGRNB technique prior to applying them in the clinical environment. By the end of this workshop, learners will be able to: 1) recognize the clinical situations in which UGRNBs can be utilized and understand the associated risks, 2) list the commonly used local anesthetic medications and their proper dosing in respect to regional nerve blocks, 3) demonstrate proper ultrasound probe positioning and identify relevant anatomical landmarks for each nerve block on both standardized patients and cadavers, 4) describe the common steps involved to perform each nerve block, 5) perform the five UGRNB techniques outlined in this workshop.
