Flail Chest-II01:26

Flail Chest-II

858
Managing flail chest, a condition characterized by a segment of the chest wall moving independently from the rest of the thoracic cage, requires a comprehensive approach. It includes a thorough assessment of the patient's condition, a diagnostic evaluation to determine the extent of the injury, and the implementation of appropriate medical interventions tailored to the individual's needs.

Burn Injuries01:22

Burn Injuries

4.9K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Acute Coronary Syndrome IV: Interprofessional Care

436
IntroductionThe management of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) aims to minimize myocardial damage, preserve myocardial function, and prevent complications.Initial ManagementInpatient management involves continuous cardiac monitoring, preferably in an ICU, focusing on blood pressure, serum sodium, potassium, and creatinine levels, and urine output. Ongoing pharmacologic management is crucial for stabilizing the patient.Supplemental Oxygen: Administer supplemental oxygen if oxygen saturation is...

Assessment of the Abdomen II: Percussion01:18

Assessment of the Abdomen II: Percussion

3.1K
Percussion is a fundamental technique used to assess the liver, spleen, and abdominal organs by tapping the abdomen and interpreting the resulting sounds. This method helps identify fluid, distention, and masses through variations in sound, such as the high-pitched tympany of air-filled areas and the dullness of solid masses. Understanding how to percuss these organs provides valuable information for healthcare professionals in diagnosing conditions early.

Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

444
Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended. This...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management01:22

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

959
Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned...

    Area of Science:

    • Geriatric Trauma Care
    • Medical Education Innovation

    Background:

    • Older adults (≥65 years) constitute over half of major trauma cases in Ireland.
    • Low-mechanism falls are the primary cause of injury in this demographic, introducing complexities like frailty, multimorbidity, and polypharmacy.
    • Existing trauma education models require adaptation to address the specific needs of geriatric trauma patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To adapt the UK's Elderly Care Trauma & Ongoing Recovery (HECTOR) course for the Irish healthcare system.
    • To evaluate the feasibility and initial impact of a pilot HECTOR course delivered in Ireland.

    Main Methods:

    • The HECTOR curriculum was modified using Kern's six-step framework to align with Irish guidelines and resources.
    • A one-day pilot course was delivered to 18 multidisciplinary clinicians at the 2025 Irish Association for Emergency Medicine (IAEM) meeting.
    • Post-course evaluations were completed by 12 participants.

    Main Results:

    • Pilot course feedback was overwhelmingly positive.
    • Participants highlighted the course's relevance, practicality, and the benefits of its interprofessional format.
    • The study demonstrated strong feasibility for the adapted HECTOR course.

    Conclusions:

    • The adapted HECTOR course is a feasible and well-received educational intervention for Irish clinicians managing older trauma patients.
    • Further rollout and more rigorous evaluation are supported by these positive pilot findings.
    • This initiative addresses a critical gap in geriatric trauma education within the Irish context.
