DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8ZP86 Issue 5:3 No ratings yet.
By the end of this simulation session, learners will be able to: (1) recognize worsening respiratory status of a patient with hemoptysis and intervene appropriately, (2) manage a patient with severe hemoptysis and perform appropriate ventilator management, (3) manage sinus tachycardia with QT prolongation on the ECG caused by cocaine and hypomagnesemia, (4) address various etiologies of hemoptysis, (5) discuss the causes of massive hemoptysis and management options, and (6) review ventilation strategies in an intubated hypoxic patient.

Improving Emergency Department Airway Preparedness in the Era of COVID-19: An Interprofessional, In Situ Simulation

Keiran J Warner, MD*, Ashley C Rider, MD*, James Marvel, MD*, Michael A Gisondi, MD*, Kimberly Schertzer, MD* and Kelly N Roszczynialski, MD, MS*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8V06M Issue 5:3 No ratings yet.
At the conclusion of the simulation session, learners will be able to: 1) Understand the need to notify team members of a planned COVID intubation including: physician, respiratory therapist, pharmacist, nurse(s), and ED technician. 2) Distinguish between in-room and out-of-room personnel during high-risk aerosolizing procedures. 3) Distinguish between in-room and out-of-room equipment during high-risk aerosolizing procedures to minimize contamination. 4) Appropriately select oxygenation therapies and avoid high-risk aerosolizing procedures. 5) Manage high risk scenarios such as hypotension or failed intubation and be prepared to give push-dose vasoactive medications or place a rescue device such as an I-gel®.

A Case Report on Miliary Tuberculosis in Acute Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome

Erica Concors, MD*, Hamid Ehsani-Nia, DO* and Michael Mirza, MD*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J81H02 Issue 5:3 No ratings yet.
A portable single-view radiograph of the chest was obtained upon the patient’s arrival to the ED resuscitation bay that showed diffuse reticulonodular airspace opacities (red arrows) seen throughout the bilateral lungs, concerning for disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis. Subsequently, a computed tomography (CT) angiography of the chest was obtained which again demonstrates this diffuse reticulonodular airspace opacity pattern (red arrows).
