Arterial Puncture for Blood Gas Analysis This is a Video in Clinical Medicine from the New England Journal of Medicine. Arterial Puncture for Blood Gas Analysis Overview Radial arterial puncture for arterial blood gas analysis is a common procedure performed in medicine. It is a fundamental skill that all medical trainees need to acquire. This video will review radial arterial puncture in the adult population. Indications Puncture of the radial artery is the preferred method of obtaining an arterial blood sample for blood gas analysis. The chief indication for measurement of arterial blood gas level is to obtain values for the partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide and for arterial pH. This information is needed when assessing a patient with acute, . . . Continue reading this article SELECT AN OPTION BELOW: Create your account to get 2 free subscriber-only articles each month.

Basics of Splint and Cast Application In many situations, there are both splinting and casting options that will be effective in immobilizing the desired portion of the limb. A splint is not circumferential and, thus, accommodates swelling. In the acute setting, a splint is typically recommended because the eventual amount of soft tissue swelling is unpredictable. Because a cast is circumferential, it is stronger and more rigid. It offers increased stability and the ability to mold in all planes, which makes it more effective in holding reductions of unstable fractures. In the setting of an acute injury, a cast may be applied and is either uni- or bivalved to accommodate soft tissue swelling; however, it will still not be as soft tissue friendly as a splint (Fig. 1-1). Cast saws are designed to limit skin injury, but mechanical and thermal injury can still occur with improper usage. To prevent mechanical injury, place your index finger on the cast as a guard against plunging the saw too deep. To prevent thermal injury do not plow continuously through the cast. Rather, cut a small section of cast the width of the blade then disengage the saw completely prior to cutting the next section.
Basic Splinting Techniques Basic Splinting Techniques Indications Patients frequently present to primary care offices, urgent care, and emergency departments with musculoskeletal injuries, such as fractures, sprains, and dislocations. Many distal-extremity injuries can be initially managed in an outpatient setting using basic splinting techniques. Splinting immobilizes injured extremities and prevents further injury, decreases pain and bleeding, and allows healing to begin. While there are many indications for splinting an extremity, three main types of injuries are commonly treated in outpatient settings: Fractures: Splinting is used to stabilize fractures of the upper and lower extremity, providing patient comfort and maintaining proper bone alignment. Dislocations: After . . . .

Blood Transfusion The blood circulating in the body is made up of several components: red blood cells, which carry oxygen; white blood cells or leukocytes, which fight infection; and platelets, also called thrombocytes, which assist in the formation of blood clots. The straw-colored liquid part of the blood is called plasma. Management of symptoms related to cancer and cancer treatments may require blood transfusions. A transfusion is the administration of blood or blood components through a catheter, a tube that enters the body through an intravenous (IV) needle, central venous catheter (CVC), or peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). A transfusion can include all or any one of the blood components, and may come from a donor or may have been harvested from the patient prior to therapy. Before a transfusion can be given, results of blood studies must first be analyzed to help determine which blood component the patient will need. If the patient has signs of anemia and studies show a low red blood cell (RBC) count, then red blood cells will be transfused. When the body does not receive enough oxygen, symptoms of fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath can develop. Patients receiving chemotherapy often develop low levels of red blood cells, a condition called chemotherapy-induced anemia. Patients with this condition will receive donor red blood cells that have been separated from the blood. These harvested red blood cells are called “packed red blood cells” or PRBCs. For patients who have to bleeding problems, studies may show a low platelet count. Low platelet counts develop when platelet-producing bone marrow cells are damaged by chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Certain cancers, such as leukemia, can also cause low platelet counts. For patients who need platelet transfusions, platelets must first be extracted from plasma. Only a small amount of platelets make up plasma. Therefore, several units of donor blood plasma are needed to create one unit of platelets. Plasma can also be transfused in patients with certain injuries or clotting disorders. When plasma is separated from blood, it can be is frozen until it is needed. The thawed plasma used in transfusions is called “fresh, frozen plasma” or FFP. Once the appropriate type of blood component has been identified, the blood must be tested to make sure it is a suitable match for the patient. Two tests, type and crossmatch, can be used to test compatibility before any blood or blood product from a donor is administered.
ECG Learning Center The following ECG categories contain hundreds of ECGs that range from the sublime to the ridiculous, from simplicity to complexity, and from boring to fascinating. Many of the ECG rhythm strips come from the collection of the late Dr. Alan Lindsay, master teacher of electrocardiography. Most of the 12- and 6-lead ECGs were recorded at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. Marquette Electronics has also given permission to use ECG rhythms and diagrams from their educational posters. Each of the ECGs has an interpretation and many have additional explanations that help explain the diagnosis. Feedback is encouraged using the feedback form provided with this website.

How To Remove a Foreign Body From the External Ear Several techniques are available for removal of a foreign body from the external ear. Selection of technique depends on the shape, composition, and location of the foreign body in the canal. Irrigation: For loose small objects (less than 2 mm in diameter), such as small insects, sand, or dirt Suction-tipped catheters: For objects that are soft (such as molding clay), that crumble on palpation, or that are round, smooth and difficult to grasp (eg, small beads) Manual instruments (eg, cerumen loop curettes, right-angle hooks): For removal of a wide variety of objects, including large insects, cotton tips, button batteries, and large beads If a button battery in the ear cannot be easily removed, an otolaryngologist should be promptly consulted because a battery or magnet can be difficult to remove and can cause significant damage in just a few hours (See also Foreign Bodies in the Ear.)
How to Use a Dry Powder Disk Inhaler Here are general instructions for using a dry powder disk inhaler. To begin, hold the disk level in one hand. With the other hand, put your thumb in the appropriate notch and push it away from you as far as it goes. The mouthpiece will appear and snap into place. Keep the disk horizontal. Again with your thumb, slide the lever away from you until it clicks. The disk is now ready to deliver medication. Put your lips around the mouthpiece. Breathe in quickly and deeply through your mouth - not your nose. After inhaling, remove the disk from your mouth and hold your breath for up to 10 seconds. To close the disk, put your thumb in the notch and slide it back toward you as far as it goes. The disk will click shut, and the lever will automatically return to its original position. The disk is now ready for your next dose. Your inhaler may come with slightly different instructions. Ask your doctor for a demonstration.
How to Use a Dry Powder Tube Inhaler Here are general instructions for using a dry powder tube inhaler. To begin, twist the cover off and set it down. Next, load the dose of medication. Twist the base grip to the right as far as it will go. Twist it back to the left. You will hear a click, which means it's ready to go. You don't need to shake the inhaler. Bring the inhaler to your lips in a horizontal position. Put your lips over the tube and take a quick, deep breath. Continue inhaling quickly and deeply. If you need another dose of medication, repeat the previous steps. If you accidentally blow into your inhaler after loading a dose, start over and load a new dose. The tube inhaler is designed to deliver one dose at a time. When you are finished, place the cover back on the inhaler and twist shut. Keep your inhaler dry and store it at room temperature. Your inhaler may come with slightly different instructions. Ask your doctor for a demonstration.
How to Use a Metered Dose Asthma Inhaler and Spacer Here are general instructions for using a metered dose inhaler and spacer. To begin, shake the inhaler five or six times. Remove the mouthpiece cover and place the spacer over the mouthpiece at the end of the inhaler. Put your lips and teeth over the spacer and breathe in slowly. As you do so, squeeze the top of the canister once. Keep inhaling even after you finish the squeeze. Continue inhaling slowly and deeply. After inhaling, remove the spacer from your mouth and hold your breath for up to 10 seconds. If you need another dose of medication, repeat the previous steps. Your inhaler may come with slightly different instructions. Ask your doctor for a demonstration.
Incision and Drainage of Abscesses An abscess is a confined collection of pus surrounded by inflamed tissue. Most abscesses are found on the extremities, buttocks, breast, axilla, groin, and areas prone to friction or minor trauma, but they may be found in any area of the body. Abscesses are formed when the skin is invaded by microorganisms. Cellulitis may precede or occur in conjunction with an abscess. The two most common microorganisms leading to abscess formation are Staphylococcus and Streptococcus. Perianal abscesses are commonly caused by enteric organisms. Gram-negative organisms and anaerobic bacteria also contribute to abscess formation.

The Medical Eye Patch The medical eye patch (patching therapy) is the oldest and most common treatment for amblyopia. Covering, or occluding, the strong eye with an eye patch forces the brain to use the weak eye. This method of treatment is referred to as penalization therapy. It penalizes the better-seeing eye and forces the brain to use and depend on the weak eye. The ultimate goal is to improve the clarity of vision and encourage the use of both eyes together. Patching therapy has the benefit of being time-tested. It has improved the vision of millions of patients with a lazy eye for the last thousand years (seriously! the first documentation of patching therapy is from 900 A.D.). But, patching therapy is not without its downfalls. Children often dread wearing it, and parents often struggle forcing their child to continue to use the patch.

Pulse Oximetry Pulse oximetry is a term that frequently appears online and in news reports in connection with COVID-19. But what, exactly, is it? Basically, pulse oximetry is a painless, noninvasive method of measuring the saturation of oxygen in a person’s blood. Oxygen saturation is a crucial measure of how well the lungs are working. When we breathe in air, our lungs transmit oxygen into tiny blood vessels called capillaries. In turn, these capillaries send oxygen-rich blood to the heart, which then pumps it through arteries to the rest of the body. Our organs need a constant supply of oxygen to work properly. When the capacity of the lungs to transport oxygen into the blood is impaired, blood oxygen saturation declines, potentially putting our organs in danger. A pulse oximeter can quickly detect this drop in oxygen saturation, alerting people of the need for medical intervention. If you have ever had a physical or visited a doctor for a medical procedure, you’ve had your blood oxygen saturation measured by a pulse oximeter. More recently, the spread of COVID-19, which can cause significant drops in blood oxygen saturation, has spurred a surge in the popularity of at-home pulse oximeters. (Some people who are worried they may have—or fear contracting—COVID-19, have purchased pulse oximeters with the aim of monitoring their blood oxygen levels.)

Urinary Catheter Insertion Introduction The ability to insert a urinary catheter is an essential skill in medicine. Catheters are sized in units called French, where one French equals 1/3 of 1 mm. Catheters vary from 12 (small) FR to 48 (large) FR (3-16mm) in size. They also come in different varieties including ones without a bladder balloon, and ones with different sized balloons - you should check how much the balloon is made to hold when inflating the balloon with water! Universal precautions The potential for contact with a patient's blood/body fluids while starting a catheter is present and increases with the inexperience of the operator. Gloves must be worn while starting the Foley, not only to protect the user, but also to prevent infection in the patient. Trauma protocol calls for all team members to wear gloves, face and eye protection and gowns. Indications Contraindications Equipment Procedure Complications
What Is a Slit-Lamp Exam? A slit lamp is one of the devices that your doctor may use for checking the health of your eyes. Getting regular eye examinations can help identify serious eye problems at an early stage when you might not have any symptoms and your vision isn't affected. When diagnosed early, eye diseases are usually more treatable.1 A slit lamp exam can be used to help in diagnosing conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, a detached retina, and more.

Chest tube insertion for pneumothorax or hematothorax Chest tube insertion for pneumothorax or hematothorax. This video will show you how to insert a chest tube for a pneumothorax This patient has multiple rib fractures They caused a pneumothorax with a midline shift forming a beginning tension pneumothorax Sterility is very important so make sure You know and follow the standard operating procedures of Your hospital. Prepare Your table with sterile instruments We’ll be using a surgical clamp, scalpel and surgical sutures. Use lidocaine one or two percent determine the right chest tube size. The prefered patient position is half seated with the arm lying aside and at shoulder level. Desinfect the thorax broadly to prevent desterilisation Before draping the patient define intercostal level 4 to 5 to place the chest tube. Preferably use a broad sterile drape with a central opening. Anesthetise the skin covering the rib that you’re using as a reference. Now anesthetise the deeper layers above the rib. Then infiltratie the intercostal muscles till you enter the thoracal cavity with the needle. Make your skin incision 2 to 4 centimetres long and parallel to the rib. Now use your surgical clamp to dissect the subcutaneous tissue. Perforate the pleural membrane using your surgical clamp . You can use your index finger to prevent deep perforation that might damage the liver or other tissues. Now widen the intercostal wound using your index finger. Introduce the tube in the thoracal cave. You can see and hear air escaping through the tube. The tube is oriented in posterior and upward direction. Use suturing wire to keep the tube into position. Place enough sutures to prevent air suction. Keep sterility in mind when connecting the tubes. Beware to fill the drainage canister device beforehand. Start the vacuum and see how the air bubbles in your canister device Adapt the vacuum if necessary. Take a new x ray to check for the tube position and the lung expansion.

Conscious Sedation for Minor Procedures in Adults
Forceps Delivery Technique The most frequent struggles are usually encountered in initial placement – particularly of the second blade – and less commonly during traction. It is important that the cephalic curve (or “palm side” of the blade) is as closely apposed to the fetal scalp as possible, or if the fetal scalp is not visible, then to the maternal introitus. Importantly, as the forceps begins its motion, there can be no movement forward or backward of the handle until the maternal thigh is reached. Doing so starts the blade of the forceps down the sacrum/face (in an OA fetus) rather than along the more hollow space between parietal bone and vagina. A forceps blade on the correct trajectory should require almost no force, and I remind learners of this by encouraging them to hold the handle with only their fingertips.

Laparoscopic versus open appendectomy for the treatment of acute appendicitis. Open appendectomy is the 'gold standard' for the treatment of acute appendicitis. Laparoscopic appendectomy though widely practiced has not gained universal approval. Although it is a generally safe operation, postoperative complications occur in few patients. Laparoscopic appendectomy was first described in 1983. Reports of early studies were equivocal with few studies evaluating analgesic requirements and the length of hospital stay.This study was aimed to compare laparoscopic with open appendectomy and ascertain the therapeutic benefit, if any, in the overall management of acute appendicitis.

Putting On and Removing Personal Protective Equipment In light of the threat of Ebola virus disease, it is important to emphasize the use of proper precautions for infection control in health care settings. The routes of Ebola virus transmission include direct contact with an affected person's body fluids and indirect contact by means of contaminated instruments or supplies.1 Personal protective equipment (PPE) is used when there is a risk of exposure to infectious material. PPE is designed to protect the skin and mucous membranes from exposure to pathogens. Health care workers who use PPE to guard against contamination with the Ebola virus must remember these three principles: • Repetitive training and demonstrated competency in putting on and removing PPE ensure proficiency in the use of the equipment. • No skin should be exposed when wearing PPE, because of the possibility of contact with infected blood or body fluids. • A trained observer should always be present when a health care worker is putting on or removing PPE, to identify and immediately address any breaches in protocol. The use of a checklist is recommended to document the correct sequence of steps in putting on or taking off PPE.2 This review demonstrates one procedure that will minimize the risk of exposure to infectious material when putting on and removing PPE.
