Lecture Title: General objectives of the emergency room management Lecturer name:Dr. Hossam Hassan Lecture Date:
Lecture Objectives..Students at the end of the lecture will be able to: • Recognize and be aware of the basic management of common BLS and ACLS protocols. • Gain experience in the evaluation and management of patients presenting to the ER for acute care. • Developing proficiency with emergency procedures • Expanding the knowledge in acute care medicine to include , Acute Chest pain, Trauma ,and shock management..
Objectives • Acute medical illnesses • Acute surgical illnesses • Acute Obstetrical emergencies • Trauma • Acute mental illnesses • Acute ENT & Ophthalmological emergencies • Environmental hazards
Top Ten Leading Causes of Death • Heart Disease: 726,974 • Cancer: 539,577 • Stroke: 159,791 • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: 109,029 • Accidents: 95,644 • Pneumonia/Influenza: 86,449 • Diabetes: 62,636 • Suicide: 30,535 • Nephritis, Nephrotic Syndrome, and Nephrosis25,331 • Chronic Liver Disease and Cirrhosis: 25,175
Reception • 300 – 500 visits per day • Only 20-50 cases require urgent intervention • Few cases are life-threatening (1-5)
Triage ( Categorization) • Category 1 – 5 • 1 : Life-Threatening • 5 : Triage out
Triage • Physician Triage • Nurse Triage • Clark Triage
Life-Threatening Cases ( C.1) Need immediate intervention • Arrest • Arrhythmias • Hypoxia • Shock • Acute trauma • Siezure • Status Asthmaticus • Anaphylaxis • Chest pain ( STEMI ) • Delivery – stage 2
C.2 ( Urgent Cases) Should be treated within 10 min. • Acute asthmatic attack • High Blood Pressure • Intoxication • Drowsy patient • Acute colics • Fractures • Burns
C.3 ( Acute Cases ) Should be treated within 30 minutes • Chest Pain ( Non cardiac ) • Abdominal pain • Dyspnea • Fever • Old trauma • Gastroeneteritis • Metabolic Derangement • Post ictal state
C4 : Chronic Abdo pain Minor trauma claimed : Fever-Low BP- Fast HR C5 : URTI Long-standing complaints Meds-Refill Cont’d Triage
Appeal of Emergency Medicine • Make an immediate difference • Life threatening injuries and illnesses • Undifferentiated patient population • Challenge of “anything” coming in • Emergency / invasive procedures • Safety net of healthcare
Appeal of Emergency Medicine • Team approach • Patient advocacy • Open job market • Academic opportunities • Shift work / set hours • Evolving specialty
Downside to Emergency Medicine • Interaction with difficult, intoxicated, or violent patients • Finding follow-up or care for uninsured • Working as a patient advocate • Contract management groups • Malpractice targets
The Lifestyle:Two Sides of A Coin • Well defined shifts • Usually not on call • Part time employment possible • Evenings and nights • Weekends • Holidays
Subspecialties in Emergency Medicine • Pediatric Emergency Medicine • Toxicology • Emergency Medical Services • Sports Medicine • Critical Care Medicine
Upcoming Areas of Emergency Medicine • Observation units • ED CT
Research Opportunities • Broad range of subjects • Limited amount of work published in our relatively new field • Limited number of research mentors • Limited number of clinical trials
What to do to get in to Emergency Medicine ? • Observe in ED • Summer research projects with EM staff • EM interest group affiliation • Be open to any medical specialty
Low Blood Pressure • PB = COP * SVR ( 120 / 80 ) mmHg • COP = SV * HR ( 4- 6 ) 4-6 L/m • SV = EDV - ESV ( 50 – 100 ) ml
Low Blood Pressure • Preload • Contractility • Afterload
Dyspnea ( S.O.B) ABG : 7.35 40 80 23 O2 saturation: 99%
Acute Respiratory Failure • Hypoxemic • Hypercapnic
Where do you taiage this Pt.? • What information do you need to determine if this Pt. is in shock? • What initial interventions are needed to stabilize that Pt.?
Shock is a syndrome of impaired tissue oxygenation and perfusion due to a variety of etiologies • If left untreated • Irreversible injury ,Organ dysfunction And finally death
