Grand Rounds Recap 11.29.23

This week’s grand rounds was packed with education! We started off the day with our morbidity and mortality conference which was led by chief resident, Dr. Stark. She discussed multiple high yield cases including immunosuppressed patients with fever, subarachnoid hemorrhage, complex trauma resuscitations, stridor in the adult, posterior circulation stroke, and finally an interesting case of Lemierre syndrome. Following M&M, Dr. Wolski took on Dr. Broadstock in an epic clinical pathologic case where the ultimate diagnosis in a child with abdominal pain was a bezoar. This was then followed by Dr. Newton’s R1 Diagnostic and Therapeutics lecture on Troubleshooting tubes in the ED including G-tubes, foley catheters, and suprapubic catheters. Finally, we wrapped up the day with R3 small group sessions. Dr. Harward led a session on ***. Meanwhile, Dr. Moulds discussed pharmacotherapy. Last but certainly not least, Dr. Sobocinski reviewed ***. All around, an excellent day at UCEM Grand Rounds!

Check out this week’s recap of Grand Rounds! Dr. Tim Murphy took us through some fascinating cases with Morbidity and Mortality Conference. Next, we got to dive deep into toxicology. Dr. Kelli Jarrell led us through a case she had of a TCA overdose, Dr. Shawn Hassani taught us about Beta Blocker and Calcium Channel Blocker overdose, and Dr. Woods Curry took us through a oral boards session during Quarterly Sim reviewing Aspirin toxicity. Quarterly Simulation also had an oral boards case discussing inferior STEMI complicated by complete heart block, as well as an awesome simulation teaching the fundamentals of teamwork and closed loop communication by having a lucky R3 run a code with a blindfold on. We’re excited to share the learning highlights with you!

  • Continuous ST segment trend monitoring may pick up very dynamic ischemic changes (though this is almost never done anymore)
