Clinical Decision-Making Case: Non-Accidental Trauma

/

By the end of this clinical decision-making case, learners will be able to: 1) demonstrate familiarity with the CDM case format and case play, 2) describe important historical information to obtain when suspecting non-accidental trauma, 3) recognize potential physical exam findings in non-accidental trauma, 4) justify appropriate diagnostic studies based on clinical findings and current evidence on occult injury in suspected pediatric abuse, and 5) propose an appropriate disposition plan for patients with non-accidental trauma.

Simulation, Trauma

Trauma and Hyperthermia

/

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.

Critical Care Transport: Blunt Polytrauma in Pregnancy

/

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.

E-FAST Ultrasound Training Curriculum for Prehospital Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Clinicians

/

By the end of these training activities, prehospital EMS learners will be able to demonstrate foundational ultrasound skills in scanning, interpretation, and artifact recognition by identifying pertinent organs and anatomically relevant structures for an E-FAST examination. Learners will differentiate between normal and pathologic E-FAST ultrasound images by identifying the presence of free fluid and lung sliding. Learners will also explain the clinical significance and application of detecting free fluid during an E-FAST scan.

Trauma by Couch: A Case Report of a Massive Traumatic Retroperitoneal Hematoma

/

Upon arrival at the trauma center, a FAST revealed a large, well-circumscribed abnormality (red outline) deep to the liver (blue outline and star) and gallbladder (green outline and star). The right kidney and hepatorenal space were not clearly visualized. The remainder of the FAST showed no free fluid in the splenorenal space, pelvis, and no pericardial effusion. He had lung sliding bilaterally.
