Stopping Fistula Hemorrhage without Bleeding Time and Money – A Low Cost, Low Resource Hemodialysis Fistula Model for Emergency Medicine Residents

Mary Jordan, MD*, Thomas Yang, MD, MBA, Med, MS^, Michael Collier, CHSOS** and Lacie Bailey, MD, MHPE, MS*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5070/M5.52204 Issue 11:2[mrp_rating_result]
After using the task trainer bleeding fistula model, learners will be able to: 1) identify vascular access hemorrhage as an emergency presentation in dialysis patients; 2) execute a stepwise approach to manage a bleeding fistula; 3) demonstrate effective hemorrhage control for a patient with uncontrolled bleeding from their fistula, including choice of appropriate suture material and suturing technique; and 4) discuss pitfalls of hemorrhage control in patients with fistulas, including risks of tourniquet use and complications related to clot formation at the fistula site.

Low-Cost, Reusable Fracture Reduction Task Trainer for Distal Radius Fractures

Gabriela Guez, MD * and Stephanie Stapleton, MD*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5070/M5.52357 Issue 11:2[mrp_rating_result]
Utilizing this task trainer, learners will be able to 1) identify key anatomic structures, 2) distinguish a Colles from a Smith fracture of the radius, 3) understand fracture reduction technique using traction, translation and angulation, 4) appreciate the amount of force required for manipulation of the distal fracture fragment, and 5) gain hands-on practice using a model with similar haptics to bone and soft tissue.

A Case Report of Acute Appendicitis Complicated by Appendicoliths

Faris F Halaseh* and Lindsey C Spiegelman, MD, MBA^

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5070/M5.52213Issue 11:2[mrp_rating_result]
Contrast-enhanced CT of the abdomen and pelvis was obtained. Coronal CT demonstrated a dilated appendix measuring up to 1.2 cm in diameter with multiple appendicoliths (yellow arrows), the largest measuring 1.1 cm. Mild periappendiceal fat stranding was present, consistent with acute appendicitis complicated by appendicoliths. The surrounding bowel and colon were normal in caliber and distribution. An additional coronal view demonstrated a dilated appendix (yellow arrow) containing an appendicolith with periappendiceal inflammatory changes. No evidence of perforation, abscess, or drainable fluid collection was identified.

Case Report: Acute Dyspnea in a Young Female

Brian Kenny, DO* and Marwa Ali, MD*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5070/M5.52254 Issue 11:2[mrp_rating_result]
The patient underwent computer tomography (CT) imaging of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. Computer tomography of the chest showed bilateral diffuse pulmonary nodules in a perilymphatic distribution (yellow arrows), and diffusely increased mediastinal and hilar soft tissue densities (blue circle), likely representing lymphadenopathy; a left upper lobe lesion with central cavitation (orange circle) was also seen likely to be associated with the same disease process as the extensive lymphadenopathy. Imaging of the abdomen and pelvis was significant for diffuse hypodensities of the liver and spleen suggesting a multi-system process.
