SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS
-
The efforts made to assist individuals following a traumatic occurrence are known as trauma management. It seeks to normalize the emotional, physiological, and psychological reactions to minor, moderate, or serious critical events. Anybody can experience an incident at any time. Traumatic events can take many different shapes.
-
Session 2: Post-traumatic stress disorder
Failure to heal after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic incident is a hallmark of this illness. Intense emotional and physical reactions may accompany triggers that evoke memories of the trauma, and the condition may last for months or years. Nightmares or flashbacks, avoiding circumstances that trigger the trauma, increased sensitivity to stimuli, anxiety, or depression are some of the symptoms. Various forms of psychotherapy and symptom-management drugs are part of the treatment.
-
Session 3: Rape & Sexual abuse
Sexual abuse or assault (rape) can happen to anyone. You are not at fault if it has happened to you. Any sexual action that is performed against your will is considered sexual abuse. Sexual exposure (such as being made to view explicit images) and unwanted or coerced sexual contact are two examples. It may also refer to sexual assault, including attempted or actual rape. A stranger or someone you don't know well could be the assailant. Or it could be a family member or close acquaintance (incest). Many assault or abuse victims are familiar with their assailant. When specific date rape drugs are taken, teens and young adults may be more vulnerable to sexual assault or violent episodes.
-
When the heart abruptly stops beating, it is referred to as cardiac arrest or sudden cardiac arrest. If left untreated, the lack of blood supply to the brain and other organs can result in unconsciousness, disability, or even death.
-
Convulsions known as febrile seizures can occur in young children whose fever is higher than 100.4°F (38°C). (The word febrile means "feverish.") Usually, the seizures end on their own after a few minutes. The fever can last for a while. Most febrile seizures don't result in any other health issues and end on their own without medical intervention.
-
The term for blood loss is bleeding, sometimes known as hemorrhage. It can be used to describe either internal bleeding, which occurs inside the body, or external bleeding, which occurs outside the body. Almost any part of the body can experience blood loss. When blood seeps out of a damaged organ or blood artery, internal bleeding happens. When blood escapes through a skin break, external bleeding occurs.
-
The diagnosis, management, and prevention of internal disorders in adults are the main goals of the medical specialty known as internal medicine. Physicians who practice internal medicine, sometimes referred to as internists, are specialists in treating serious long-term illnesses and complicated chronic ailments. Other medical professionals frequently ask them to assist in resolving issues.
-
Session 8: Geriatric Emergency Medicine(GEM)
A more intricate multisystem function-oriented approach to patient assessment is prioritized in geriatric medicine. In an age-defined population, it values proficiency in identifying and treating a variety of difficult symptoms (such as delirium, falls, and functional decline).
-
The field of disaster medicine emerged from the combination of emergency management and crisis health care. Emergency medical services and medicine have a long history of responding to disasters. Throughout history, the health care professional has been responsible for the treatment of those harmed in a tragedy. Thus, the many forms of catastrophe medical response have existed for thousands of years. There has always been a medical reaction to some extent to care for the victims of disasters.
-
Session 10: Pediatric Emergency Medicine
A medical discipline known as pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) is dedicated to treating children who are seriously injured or ill and need emergency care. PEM doctors diagnose, stabilize, and, if required, provide resuscitation on patients in emergency rooms. They work along with other experts as well.
-
Session 11: Emergency Ultrasound
These days, it is utilized at the patient's bedside for a range of examinations in different clinical situations. It is utilized in emergency situations to monitor critically ill patients, direct resuscitation, confirm clinical diagnoses, and offer practical direction for increased safety.
-
Session 12: Drugs and Doses: Toxicology and Addiction
When a medicine's concentration rises above a therapeutic level, drug toxicity may result. Drug buildup or an accidental or deliberate overdose may be the cause of this. The ability of a medicine to poison the body is known as toxicity, or the state of being noxious. Examples include death from an overdose of morphine, extreme sedation to coma, and severe hypoglycemia and/or death from an insulin overdose. Toxic consequences, often known as side effects, are well-documented toxic phenomena.
-
Session 13: Resuscitation and Critical Care
The diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of life-threatening diseases and injuries are the main goals of the medical specialty known as resuscitation and critical care
Restoring and sustaining perfusion at the cellular and tissue levels is known as resuscitation. An essential component of critical care is this.
Critical care refers to the specialist treatment of people who have injuries or illnesses that could be fatal. A group of medical professionals with specialized training typically offer this treatment in an intensive care unit (ICU).
Concepts of Resuscitation: Emergency Critical Care:
Resuscitation and critical care are crucial components of emergency medicine. They are closely related to patient survival and recovery and need for skill, collaboration, and accuracy.
-
Session 14: Cardiopulmonary Emergencies
Heart emergencies include abrupt, possibly fatal conditions such heart failure, myocardial infarction (heart attack), acute coronary syndrome, and cardiac arrest. In order to stop additional harm to the heart muscle and maybe save the patient's life, these emergencies call for prompt medical attention. Although it may not be able to prevent cardiac emergencies, proactive measures to control underlying medical issues and lead a healthy lifestyle can reduce the risk and enhance cardiovascular health in general.
-
Session 15: Intensive Critical Care
For patients who are very sick, at risk of developing life-threatening illnesses, or recuperating from them, intensive and critical care is a medical specialty and kind of treatment.
Critical care units (CCUs) and intensive treatment units (ITUs) are other names for intensive care units. They have advanced monitoring technology and are manned by medical personnel with specialized training. -
Session 16: Critical Care Nursing
The specialty area of nursing known as "critical care nursing" is dedicated to giving patients who are extremely sick or unstable advanced care. Emergency rooms (ERs), cardiac care units, and intensive care units (ICUs) are just a few of the places where critical care nurses can be found. -
Session 17: Wound & Pain Management
Pressure, venous insufficiency, neuropathy, and vascular disease are examples of chronic cutaneous wounds that can be difficult to heal and cause significant pain. Severe pain frequently causes patients to refuse or be unable to follow prescribed regimens, which disrupts treatment processes. For instance, compression bandaging, which is required to treat venous stasis illness, can be extremely uncomfortable and lead to noncompliance, which prolongs the healing process of wounds. Furthermore, pain triggers a physiological reaction that inhibits wound healing by activating the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system.
-
Session 18: First - Aid & Patient Safety
Temporary care provided to an injured or ill individual before medical assistance arrives is known as first aid. First aid's objectives are to save lives, alleviate suffering, stop additional damage, and encourage healing. The absence of avoidable injury to a patient and the mitigation of needless risk related to medical treatment constitute patient safety.
-
Session 19: Suicidal Tendencies Emergency
Each year, over 720 000 people lose their lives to suicide. An estimated 20 suicide attempts occur for every suicide. Suicide can happen anywhere in the world and at any stage of life. Suicide was the third most common cause of death worldwide for people aged 15 to 29 in 2021 and 73% of all suicides occurred in low- and middle-income nations. Pesticide self-poisoning accounted for about 20% of all suicides worldwide.
In high-income nations, there is ample evidence linking mental health issues (namely, depression and alcohol use disorders) and prior suicide attempts to suicide; nonetheless, many suicides occur spontaneously at times of stress. Experiences of loss, loneliness, discrimination, marital conflicts, financial difficulties, chronic pain and sickness, violence, abuse, conflict, and other humanitarian crises are additional risk factors for suicide. Many people who are considering suicide do not seek help because mental health issues and suicide are stigmatized. Families, friends, coworkers, communities, and societies are all impacted by suicides and suicide attempts.
-
Session 20: Resuscitation in Emergency Medicine
Resuscitation is the process of treating a critically ill patient's physiological abnormalities, such as a loss of breathing or heartbeat. It plays a significant role in emergency medicine, trauma surgery, anesthesiology, and critical care medicine.
-
Session 21: Acid and Burn Critical Care
In addition to intravenous fluid, calcium chloride, magnesium, and insulin-glucose infusions, the patient received topical and subcutaneous injections of calcium gluconate to treat the burns. The severity of the systemic toxicity led to the start of continuous renal replacement treatment.
-
Session 22: Accidental and Drowning Critical Care
When someone drowns accidentally, they usually lose consciousness or are unable to swim, which leads to their death. The patient's initial care involves administering oxygen by an endotracheal tube, non-rebreather, nasal cannula, or non-invasive positive pressure ventilation. Titrating oxygen is necessary to prevent overoxygenation and to maintain oxygen saturation between 92% and 96%. For bronchospasm, nebulized albuterol may be administered.
