3) Examples are given of ECG patterns indicating acute pericarditis, hyperacute T waves, de Winter complexes indicating proximal LAD lesions, posterior myocardial infarction, and left main coronary artery occlusion.
4) The importance of differentiating right ventricular myocardial
DNR in Emergency Department - The Practice and the Islamic view
The document discusses end-of-life care and do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders. It provides guidance on when DNR is appropriate according to different medical conditions and opinions of specialists. DNR policies are discussed for different countries and regions, noting they can vary significantly. The key messages are that palliative care does not automatically mean DNR; DNR only refers to chest compressions and not other interventions like airway maneuvers or fluids in some cases; and the validity and requirements of DNR orders should be confirmed according to the local hospital policies. Communication with families is also emphasized.
Approach to a patients with Acute Behavioural Disturbance in Emergency Depart...
This document provides guidance on approaching and managing patients presenting with acute behavioral disturbance in emergency departments. It outlines priorities such as ensuring safety, performing a medical and psychiatric assessment to identify potential causes, using de-escalation strategies before considering restraints or medication, monitoring patients closely if restraints are used, and conducting relevant investigations to diagnose underlying medical or psychiatric conditions contributing to the behavior.
STEMI Equivalent
This document provides an overview of various electrocardiogram (ECG) findings that can indicate acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or critical stenosis requiring intervention. It discusses ECG patterns seen in posterior MIs, left main coronary artery occlusions, De Winter's T waves, Wellen's syndrome, and Sgarbossa's criteria. Assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction is also reviewed, including fractional shortening, Simpson's method, and E-point septal separation. Limitations of certain methods in specific conditions are noted.
Trauma in special Populations
Trauma can present unique challenges in special populations such as pediatrics, geriatrics, and pregnancy. In pediatrics, the anatomy of the airway, spine, brain, and internal organs differs in ways that require modified assessment and management of trauma. Geriatric patients are prone to more severe injuries from low-impact mechanisms like falls and have age-related physiological changes impacting treatment. Pregnancy complicates around 6-10% of pregnancies in the US and is a leading cause of non-obstetric maternal death, requiring special consideration of both maternal and fetal well-being in trauma situations.
Neck & Facial trauma
This document discusses a case of facial and neck trauma. It describes injuries to the face including lacerations of the lip and chin. It also notes a penetrating injury of the neck. Based on the description and examination findings, the injuries involve the facial structures like the lips and chin as well as penetrating the neck, potentially implicating vascular or aerodigestive structures in the neck. Immediate management would involve exploration and repair of significant injuries.
