Pediatric EM Morsels
JULY 19, 2024
Previously, we covered Post-Tonsillectomy Hemorrhage and how we hope that “all bleeding eventually stops: ideally, by means that we have imposed rather than by exhaustion of the patient’s RBC resources.” Since the original morsel ( way back in 2012 ), the literature has shown that there are a few extra ingredients that we can add to our morsel recipe when we care for children with post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage.

By Tom Jenkins Reprinted from the 2024 issue of Firefighter Strong In the fire academy, I doubt any candidate firefighter is excited or intrigued about incident reporting. However, in a data-driven world, it is imperative that fire and EMS organizations have timely and accurate information at their fingertips. This information allows fire departments to properly allocate resources, understand their community’s risk, and assess the performance of response units.

You are called to a residence in the middle of the night. A frantic father meets you at the door and ushers you upstairs to his son’s room, where you find a four-year-old boy perched anxiously on the side of his bed. He is braced in a tripod position, his small arms rigidly fixed by his side as he leans forward, drooling into a puddle on the floor. The father noticed a fever last night when he put the boy to bed but is astounded by the child’s rapid deterioration.

The deadline to submit a comment to OSHA about the proposed Emergency Response Standard is Monday, July 22. If enacted as-is, this standard would have a significant impact on the volunteer fire service, and many departments may be forced to shut down or operate outside the federal standard.

The EMS industry is bombarded with incredible amounts of information on a regular basis in the form of ePCR reports and dispatch data. While having a large, aggregated patient data set can be an incredible tool, it is only as good as its quality, which can be very difficult to obtain when you’re busy saving someone’s life. To ensure agencies maintain consistent NEMSIS-compliant data, they must focus on standardizing their collection process in a way that takes the burden off the team.

Going to the doctor is probably not at the top of anyone’s list of enjoyable activities, but when we do go, we expect and deserve to be heard, to have our concerns listened to and our questions answered. However, most, if not all, of us have at some point felt unheard, dismissed, or even gaslit by our healthcare provider. What is it about the doctor-patient relationship or the way medicine is practiced today that enables this miscommunication or mistreatment, and how can we make things better?
