Pediatric EM Morsels
MARCH 17, 2023
There are lots of animals that bite. Since we all inhabit the same beautiful world , and sometimes we humans overtake previous habitats of animals, we inevitably will cross paths with an animal that bites us. Usually, animals bite from fear or defense of their offspring ( ex, Brown Recluse ). Sometimes they bite because that’s how they feed (ie, mosquitoes Eastern Equine Encephalitis ).

In this main episode podcast we explore a dozen pitfalls in the assessment and management of acetaminophen poisoning. Dr. Emily Austin and Dr. Margaret Thompson answer questions such as: how is massive acetaminophen overdose a totally different toxidrome compared to non-massive overdose? Which patients are the ones that we are most likely to miss and have poor outcomes?

Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden have developed a method whereby the body can ‘grow its own’ electrodes. The minimally invasive technique involves injecting a hydrogel that is laden with enzymes into target tissues. The enzymes interact with molecules that are present in the tissue to change the structure of the gel and allow it to become electrically conductive.

Researchers at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland have developed a method to 3D print mineralized constructs with a little helping hand from bacteria. The technique consists of printing a polymer bioink that contains bacteria that will produce calcium carbonate when exposed to a urea solution. The two-step process also involves printing a construct and then exposing it to urea for several days, over which time the bacteria naturally mineralize the structure.

The Small Scale Test #13 (SST #13) of the INGENIOUS project tested and evaluated the INGENIOUS K9 vest ( ICCS ) during the search of victims in damaged buildings which are too dangerous for entering for the first responders. The main application for the K9 vest in the damaged building scenario is the search for victims in partly destroyed or unstable buildings which are too dangerous for the first responders.

The Small Scale Test #15 (SST#15) in Bilbao was the opportunity to test, for the first time, the triage systems (ICCS) consisting of the tag, the mobile application and the web platform. To do this, we simulated a terrorist attack with 6 victims involved, presenting various degrees of severity ranging from dead victims, vital emergency, or relative emergency.

Background : Traumatic cardiac arrest in the prehospital setting carries an extremely high mortality rate. Nevertheless, mortality of prehospital traumatic cardiac arrest (TCA), and survivability with good neurologic outcome, remain the gold standards of trauma care in and out of the hospital and are effectively the criterion by which we measure outcomes in the trauma literature.

An ALS crew arrives on scene to find a woman who is tachypneic, hypoxic, tachycardic, and hypotensive, with diffuse rales and rhonchi throughout her lung fields. She becomes altered and severely hypoxic. The attending paramedics begin bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilation, correct her hypoxia and hypotension, and subsequently intubate her on scene with ketamine and rocuronium.
