Pelvic splinting
1 like1,737 views
This document discusses pelvic splinting in trauma patients. It notes that pelvic fractures can cause life-threatening bleeding and loss of 6 pints of blood quickly. Existing guidelines recommend using a commercial pelvic splint for prehospital management of suspected pelvic fractures. However, some ambulance services do not have these devices. As a result, clinicians currently improvise with other methods like an upside-down neck brace or wrapping the patient in a sheet, but the effectiveness of these improvised methods is unclear compared to commercial splints. The document questions if appropriate prehospital splinting could minimize catastrophic bleeding from pelvic fractures.

This document provides essential information about LASIK eye surgery. It explains that LASIK is a laser procedure that can correct vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It has a high success and satisfaction rate, with about 96% of patients achieving 20/20 vision or better. The benefits of LASIK include being able to participate in sports and daily activities without glasses or contacts. Recovery is typically quick, with most vision improvement noticed immediately after surgery. LASIK results can last for life but age-related vision issues may still develop later in life. The costs vary depending on individual factors but financing options are available. The document encourages scheduling a free consultation with Dr. Foul Dr Menard Nov 14

The document provides several case studies for discussion and consideration of treatment options. A 27-year-old female with night vision issues post LASIK is presented, with options to counsel monitoring or retreatment. A 54-year-old male status post LASIK with a monovision prescription in one eye experiences blurry distance vision and is happy with near vision; options consider retaining the current prescription or retreating the eye for full distance correction. Additional case studies examine options for epithelial ingrowth removal, cataract surgery for developing cataracts, and YAG capsulotomy for posterior capsule opacification following cataract surgery. The specialists welcome seeing any patients to discuss case findings and treatment recommendations.Your Quick Guide On Dental Surgeries For Kids

2) Shoulder joint immobilization for non-complicated injuries. Again, candidates have 10 minutes to immobilize the isolated injury.
3) Application of a traction splint for a mid-shaft femur fracture with assistance from an EMT. Candidates are tested on properly immobilizing the isolated femur injury within the 10 minute time limit. Lateral Epicondylitis

Lateral epicondylitis, also known as tennis elbow, is an overuse injury involving microscopic tears of the tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the bone on the outside of the elbow. It is caused by repetitive motions that overload these tendons, leading to pain and tenderness. Nonsurgical treatments include rest, NSAIDs, equipment adjustments, and physical therapy focusing on strengthening. If symptoms persist for 6-12 months, surgical procedures to remove diseased tendon and reattach healthy tendon may be considered, though there are risks like infection, nerve damage, and prolonged recovery.Lateral epicondylitis

Lateral epicondylitis, commonly known as tennis elbow, is a painful condition caused by overuse and microtears of the tendons that connect the forearm muscles to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. The condition results in pain at the outside of the elbow. Conservative treatments include activity modification, bracing, stretching, strengthening exercises, and shock wave therapy. Surgical intervention is considered if conservative treatments fail to provide relief after 6 months.Tennis elbow

Common causes include repetitive motions like cooking or playing racquet sports. Symptoms include pain when shaking hands or gripping objects that is worsened by wrist movements. While X-rays are not usually diagnostic, clinical tests like the Cozen or Mill tests can help diagnose. Conservative treatments include rest, NSAIDs, ice, braces and physiotherapy to strengthen the area. Corticosteroid injections combined with lidocaine can help reduce pain and inflammation. Platelet rich plasma injections are also sometimes used but results are still controversial.Painful shoulder

Immobilization splints are rigid supports used to immobilize injured body parts like fractures or soft tissue injuries. They are different than casts in that they do not fully encircle the injured area. The main goals of splinting are to reduce inflammation from trauma or arthritis, control pain, and provide external support. Splints are initially used to rest injured tissues and encourage healing after trauma. They can also provide relief for inflammatory arthritis conditions. Splints allow for swelling and are easier to apply and remove than casts. Potential complications include infection, joint stiffness, and skin breakdown. Splints are indicated for fractures, soft tissue injuries, arthritis, and lacerations, but are contraindicated for conditions requiring surgery or with high infection3 D knee and hip replacement surgery In India linkedin

Here are some key things I would add to a paramedic program:
- Increased focus on anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology. Paramedics need a stronger foundation in how the human body works under normal and abnormal conditions as well as how medications affect the body.
- More emphasis on research methods, evidence-based practice and medical literature evaluation. This will help paramedics become better lifelong learners able to evaluate new research and treatments.
- Expanded management and critical thinking courses. These help develop assessment and diagnostic skills beyond basic protocols.
- Courses in public health, epidemiology and social determinants of health. These provide important context on the communities paramedics serve.

This document discusses surgical treatment options for degenerative spondylolisthesis. It notes that the goals of surgery are thorough decompression to address leg pain and neurogenic claudication, achieving a stable fusion to prevent further slippage, and potentially improving lower back pain. While decompression alone is reasonable for elderly low-functioning patients, fusion is typically recommended, as patients with a solid fusion have better outcomes. Instrumentation can improve fusion rates compared to non-instrumented fusion. Traditional open posterior decompression and fusion has withstood the test of time and allows for thorough decompression and fusion, though newer techniques like cortical screw fixation are emerging options.pittaluga 150625 site barcelona asval-chiva-short2

The document compares the CHIVA and ASVAL techniques for treating varicose veins. CHIVA aims to drain the entire venous system by ligating veins, while ASVAL focuses on restoring competence to the saphenous vein. CHIVA has stronger evidence from long-term follow up studies but is more complex, while ASVAL has more limited indications but is simpler to understand and perform. Both techniques are ambulatory and low-cost options for saphenous sparing, but their differences in theoretical principles and indications mean ASVAL may be more widely adopted. More evidence is still needed to strengthen recommendations for either approach.Patient awareness kolkatta new
