At the end of this oral board session, learners will be able to: 1) Demonstrate the ability to evaluate and treat a somnolent and hypoxic patient, 2) Identify a critical airway situation and manage it with a holistic approach, 3) Interpret the history, physical examination, ECG, and chest x-ray findings and discuss the list of differential diagnoses, 4) Identify a state of cardiogenic shock induced by myopericarditis and treat it appropriately, 5) Assess the presence of pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade utilizing bedside echocardiography.

By the end of this oral board session, examinees will be able to: 1) construct a differential to evaluate a patient with undifferentiated altered mental status and trauma, 2) recognize the signs and symptoms of heat stroke, 3) complete an evaluation of a patient with both hyperthermia and trauma, and 4) demonstrate efficient and correct treatment of a patient with hyperthermia.

Laboratory tests indicated elevated blood glucose levels (198 mg/dL) with no urinary ketones, anion gap of 12, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) of 12 UIU/ml, and an increased glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of 14.9%. After initial stroke evaluation with neurology, imaging studies, including computed tomography (CT)/CT angiography (CTA) of the brain and neck, were unremarkable, ruling out structural lesions or acute stroke. Neurology recommended an MRI which showed T1 shortening within the left basal ganglia involving both the caudate nucleus and the lentiform nucleus. T1 shortening indicates changes in the tissue composition or structure that alters how the tissue responds to the MRI pulse, giving the tissue a brighter appearance on MRI (see white arrow).

The patient removed the splint, and the wound were notable for erythematous bullae (blue arrow), blisters (yellow arrow), and skin maceration (red arrow) in the distribution under the wound closure strips. Of note, there was no surrounding erythema with poorly defined borders.

At the completion of this simulation participants will be able to 1) perform primary and secondary trauma surveys, 2) assess the neurovascular status of a tibia/fibula fracture, 3) appreciate anatomic and physiologic differences in pregnancy, 4) appropriately order analgesia and imaging, 5) recognize and treat hemorrhagic shock, 6) perform an extended focused assessment with sonography in trauma exam (eFAST) in undifferentiated hemorrhage, 7) identify a displaced pelvic fracture and properly apply a pelvic binder, and 8) obtain and interpret fetal heart rate using ultrasound.

By the end of the session, learners will be able to: 1) manage a patient with hypotension, and bradycardia while maintaining a broad differential, 2) evaluate the causes of hypotension by utilizing ultrasound, 3) review when to initiate vasopressors and first-line agents for beta-blocker toxicity, 4) discuss treatment algorithm for BB toxicity including high-dose insulin and, 5) discuss the risk factors for suicide
