Development and Design of a Pediatric Case-Based Virtual Escape Room on Acute Iron Toxicity
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5070/M5.52192By the end of the activity, learners should be able to: 1)recognize the history and clinical presentation of acute iron toxicity; 2) demonstrate knowledge of the necessary workup in suspected iron toxicity; 3) identify the stages of acute iron toxicity; 4) identify management of iron toxicity and its complications; 5) perform appropriate management in the setting of decompensated hemorrhagic shock and hypovolemia; and 6) demonstrate teamwork through communication and collaboration.
Pre-Clinical Case Competition to Assess Confidence in Responding to Select Out-Of-Hospital Medical Emergencies
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5070/M5.52198By the end of this activity, learners will be able to: 1) demonstrate the application of skills in real-life first responder scenarios, including suspected opioid overdose, cardiac arrest, and anaphylaxis; 2) apply knowledge of scene safety and the role of the first responder in various situations; and 3) assess the challenges while applying the skills necessary for collaborative work within a medical team.
Pediatric Difficult Airway Simulation Day
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5070/M5.52208The objective of this one-day simulation workshop is to increase learner confidence and skills necessary to perform critical pediatric airway procedures. PEM fellows of all training levels at our institution completed a three-hour “PEM Difficult Airway Day,” which consisted of six 30-minute stations focusing on airway scenarios critical for PEM fellow training: five high- and low-fidelity simulations (premature neonate, inhalational injury, contaminated airway, obese patient, and failed airway) and one discussion-based station on the physiologically difficult intubation. By the end of this workshop, learners will be able to: 1) identify various clinical situations in which a pediatric patient may have a difficult airway, 2) successfully intubate mannequins with simulated difficult airways using direct laryngoscopy (DL), video laryngoscopy (VL), laryngeal mask airway (LMA) placement, bougie-assisted intubation, and a hyper-angulated VL blade, and 3) recognize and describe the management of physiologically difficult airways and failed airways.
Cards Against Pulmonology
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5070/M5.52358By the end of this card game, learners will 1) understand the methods of clinical assessment in thoracic-respiratory related diseases, 2) implement escalating levels of respiratory support for thoracic-respiratory pathology in pediatric and adult patients, 3) review and utilize important medications in the management of thoracic-respiratory diseases, and 4) choose appropriate dispositions of patients with various thoracic-respiratory related complaints.
The EMazing Race: A Novel Gamified Board and Clinical Practice Review for Emergency Medicine Residents
DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8.52075By the end of this 2-hour session, learners will demonstrate their knowledge on the following board-related emergency medicine topics: Ob/GYN – links to 13.7 Complications of Delivery in Core Model of EM 2022, Renal/GU – links to 15.0 Renal and Urogenital Disorders in Core Model of EM 2022 and Splinting – links to 18.1.8.2 Extremity bony trauma, fracture in Core Model of EM 2022.
In Too Deep: A Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Escape Room
DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8.52100By the end of this session, the participant will be able to: 1) evaluate and identify the nature of metallic foreign bodies using POCUS; 2) identify common emergency department fractures on X-Ray and identify relevant sonoanatomy for ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia applications relevant to those fractures; and 3) identify normal lower extremity venous POCUS sonoanatomy and demonstrate understanding of proximal versus distal anatomical location within the lower extremity venous system.
Ultrasound Guided Peripheral Nerve Block Workshop: How to Take Your Residents from Zero to Hero
DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8.52156After completing this small group workshop, the resident should be able to: 1) recognize the indications for the serratus anterior plane block, the posterior tibial block and the ulnar, median, and radial nerve blocks and the anatomical locations that would benefit from these blocks, 2) identify proper probe selection and placement, in addition to patient positioning, in order to perform these blocks, as well as anesthetic choice and dosing, 3) demonstrate knowledge of anatomical landmarks and areas to avoid evidenced by probe placement and positioning, 4) describe the steps to perform these nerve blocks, and 5) demonstrate knowledge of contraindications to these blocks as well as potential complications of these procedures and how to mitigate them.
Code Social: Integrating SDoH into Emergency Resident Education
DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8.52163The educational objectives of this activity are to: 1) enhance residents' understanding and recognition of (SDoH) in emergency medicine; 2) develop residents' skills in addressing SDoH within the emergency medicine setting; 3) foster a patient-centered approach that promotes health equity in emergency medicine; and 4) identify local resources available to address various SDOH.
