Share

Original: https://rebelem.com/raff2-electrical-vs-pharmacological-cardioversion-for-ed-patients-with-acute-atrial-fibrillation/ Contexto: A fibrilação atrial aguda (FA) é uma das disritmias mais comuns observadas no departamento de emergência (DE). Houve ampla discussão e debate sobre a melhor maneira de gerenciar a FA aguda, centrada no controle de frequência e ritmo. No entanto, existem poucos dados para orientar a abordagem ideal para o controle do ritmo, uma vez que esta opção é limitada. Como resultado da falta de boas evidências, há uma variação significativa no manejo. Melhores dados são essenciais…

Dr. Anh-Nhi Thi Huynh and Dr. Larshan Perinpam – Denmark ?? Thanks to ISAEM for giving us the opportunity to share our experiences with COVID-19 at the Emergency Department in Herning, Denmark.

Avaliação Básica das Vias Aéreas: é tão fácil quanto…1-2-3?

Share

Em Medical Concepts por Rob Woods, 04 de Agosto, 2014 Na escola de medicina, muitas das questões de múltipla escolha no contexto de um paciente agudo têm como uma opção “administrar os ABC’s” e esta é sempre a alternativa correta. Infelizmente, dizer “eu administraria os ABCs como minha primeira prioridade” é muito diferente de realmente saber como avaliar uma via aérea, quanto mais gerenciar anormalidades durante uma ressuscitação no trauma. Se você pensa que isso vai ser uma postagem de blog de vias…

Dr. Erich Hanel – Canada ?? The challenges we faced in response to COVID-19 were not unique. My colleagues have been affected professionally at work and personally at home. I do think our Emergency Department was unique in our response to COVID-19 challenges. We mobilized as a team, with support from our leadership. Shifts were different, patient volumes were decreased, general healthcare provider anxiety was increased. As a team, our efforts were consolidated with contributions from nursing, physicians, respiratory therapists,…

Dr. Faruk Danis – Turkey ?? Like our colleagues from all over the world, COVID-19 has deeply affected us both in working life and emotionally. Things are very busy in our emergency room.

Dr. AlHanouv AlQahtani – Saudi Arabia We are dealing with COVID-19 seriously and following strict protocols. One challenge is dealing with a population who is scared and want to be swabbed but have no risk factors. We have been working to calm them down. Overall, we’re trying to let people know not to come to the ED unless it is serious. In the hospital among colleagues, everyone is being caring. We are all working together – nurses, physicians, EMS personnel.…
