Clinical Decision-Making Case: Pediatric Sexually Transmitted Infections and Consent

/

By the end of this case the learner will be able to: 1) demonstrate competency with the new ABEM Certifying Exam Clinical Decision-Making Case format, 2) manage a simulated pediatric care encounter that requires navigating the details of pediatric consent, 3) explain common exceptions to requiring parental consent in emergency situations according to established guidelines as well as state and local laws, 4) report increased comfort managing ethical dilemmas related to pediatric consent in the ED.

Clinical Decision-Making Case: Seizing the Diagnosis: Eclampsia

/

By the end of this Mock Certifying Exam session, learners should be able to: 1) demonstrate familiarity with the Clinical Decision-Making case format and structure, 2) elicit relevant historical information and connect that information to the diagnosis of eclampsia, 3) describe and interpret physical exam findings and their significance in establishing a pertinent differential diagnosis, which includes eclampsia, 4) initiate appropriate diagnostic testing, interpret results accurately, and formulate a stabilization and treatment plan for a patient with eclamptic seizures, and 5) reassess the patient’s condition, modify the management plan as needed, provide relevant anticipatory guidance for disposition, and articulate the clinical decision-making rationale at each stage of the encounter.

Computed Tomography Findings in Non-Obstetric Vulvar Hematoma: A Case Report

/

Bedside ultrasound was first used to evaluate for evidence of abscess or cyst formation. Ultrasound demonstrated a hypoechoic area within the right labia without evidence of a cyst or abscess wall. Based on these findings, an angiogram CT of the pelvis was obtained which revealed a vulvar hematoma with evidence of active arterial extravasation. In both the coronal and axial view, there is an asymmetric area of isodensity in the right labia representing a hematoma (blue circled area). Angiography may show areas of active extravasation, which appears as hyperdensity within the area of hematoma (see red arrow in coronal plane).
