High Performance EMS

AUGUST 9, 2024

Dispatching the right unit to an EMS call was much simpler when all resources had the same capabilities and a response time was the primary measure of success. It was a matter of determining which crew was available closest to the scene. Some computer-aided dispatch (CAD) software did better than others by considering the average travel time of an actual route instead of allowing nearness to be determined by a straight-line distance.

Pediatric EM Morsels

AUGUST 9, 2024

Neonates presenting to the Emergency Department often cause a lot of uncertainty. Is this scalp swelling normal? Is this bloody stool concerning? Are this odd movements part of normal development? Is that umbilical area ok or concerning? Fortunately, we have addressed many neonatal issues in the PedEMMorsels. Obviously, one of the most concerning considerations in neonates is the potential for infection.

Fear of visiting the dentist and undergoing oral surgery can make patients reluctant to seek dental care and increase their discomfort when they do. Many Americans suffer from some form of dental anxiety. Oral surgery to treat cavities, infections, broken teeth, and jaw and gingival health issues are among the most common medical procedures.

Written by Pendell Meyers Try first to interpret the ECG without any clinical context: What do you think? Sinus rhythm with abnormal STE in V2-V6, and I, II, aVF. Reciprocal STD in aVR and V1. Most leads with STE have remarkably non-hyperacute, flat T waves. Most would say that there is Spodick's sign. The PR depression in II (and its reciprocal PR elevation in aVR) is probably beyond normal baseline values.

There’s no question that tracheal suctioning saves lives. It can maintain a patent airway in patients with infections who cannot clear their airway, and it’s a first line of defense against aspiration pneumonia and can prevent hypoxia in patients experiencing anaphylaxis and airway obstructions. Knowing the most common morbidities associated with tracheal suctioning is key to preventing bad outcomes.
