Case 1, Q #1

• Which of the following conditions is most likely to be a precipitating factor for pneumothorax?

a) COPD

b) cigarette smoking

c) marfan syndrome

d) exertion

e) Pneumocystis pneumonia

Tuesday, March 17, 15

Pneumothorax

• Primary Spontaneous - occurring in patients without underlying lung dz

• account for 2/3 of all PTX

• more common in tall, thin men, 20-40 years of age and SMOKERS

• 20:1 increased risk in smokers

Tuesday, March 17, 15

Page 3: Emergency Medicine No financial Topics disclosures

Other choices

• Marfans is a risk factor in primary spontaneous PTX, but is not as strong a risk factor

• Exertion is not a risk factor

• COPD and PCP pneumonia are important risk factors for secondary PTX, but are not as common as primary PTX

Tuesday, March 17, 15

Pneumothorax

• Secondary Spontaneous - occurring in patients with existing underlying lung disease (COPD, PCP)

• PCP is the most common cause of pneumothorax in HIV patients

Tuesday, March 17, 15

Traumatic Pneumothorax

• More common in penetrating trauma (stab wound, gun shot wound) than blunt trauma (rib fractures)

• Includes iatrogenic PTX

• Transthoracic needle procedures (thoracentesis, needle biopsies)

• Subclavian central lines

Tuesday, March 17, 15

Case 1, Q #2

• The nurse reports that this patient has become very dyspneic and his blood pressure is now 80/50. His neck veins are distended. What is the next best course of action?

a) 100% oxygen via non-rebreather

b) immediate placement of a chest tube

c) intubation

d) needle thoracostomy

e) normal saline 1000 cc IV bolus

Tension Pneumothorax

• Positive pressure from PTX reduces venous return to the right heart, thus decreasing cardiac output

• PE: distended neck veins, tracheal deviation (away from side of PTX), hypotension

• Immediate decompression required: 14 gauge needle - 2nd intercostal space, mid-clavicular line

Pneumothorax and Treatment

• High-Flow oxygen:

• promotes resorption of nitrogen-rich air in PTX

• appropriate as sole therapy in small (<15%), stable, and atraumatic PTX

• Observation:

• for small, primary spontaneous PTX

• repeat CXR in 6 hours - if no change on CXR and clinically, follow-up is ensured, and reassuring social situation -> may be discharged with another repeat CXR recommended in 12-48 hours.

Tuesday, March 17, 15

Pneumothorax and Treatment

• Needle thoracostomy:

• indicated in tension pneumothorax

• insert 14 gauge IV in 2nd intercostal space, mid-clavicular line

• Tube Thoracostomy:

• for larger (>15%) spontaneous PTX and all traumatic PTX

• chest tube is placed at 4th or 5th intercostal space, mid-or anterior-axillary line

Case # 2

• A 23-yo man presents holding both hands over his right eye. He was playing basketball when another player hit him in the eye. He is able to cooperate with the examination and reports decreased vision. The BEST treatment option is:

A) Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitor

B) Gentle pressure to reduce the eye

C) Lateral canthotomy

D) Ophthalmology outpatient follow-up next day

E) Decongestant nasal sprays, oral antibiotics, and pain medications

Retrobulbar hemorrhage

• caused by blood accumulation within the orbit with transmission of pressure to the optic nerve and globe. This in turn leads to central retinal artery occlusion and optic nerve ischemia

• signs - acute proptosis, vision loss, decrease in ocular movement, increased IOP

• irreversible vision loss occurs within 60 minutes

• the best DEFINITIVE treatment option is a lateral canthotomy

Lateral Canthotomy

Page 6: Emergency Medicine No financial Topics disclosures

Other selections

• CA inhibitor, mannitol, and topical beta-blocker may be used to decreased IOP, but is not definitive treatment

• Gentle pressure to reduce the eye would cause more damage. This may be treatment for a globe luxation without suspicion of globe rupture.

• Ophthalmology consultation is necessary but since vision loss can quickly ensue, next day followup is inappropriate.

Other selections

• The most common orbital fracture is the inferior wall blow-out fracture. There is communication with the ethmoid and maxillary sinuses in this fracture.

• Emergent ophthalmology consultation is needed if there is diplopia, enophthalmos, or large fractures (>1/3 of the orbital floor).

• Treatment is avoidance of nose blowing, nasal decongestants, +/- oral antibiotics, pain management and ophthalmology referral.

Case #3

• A 40-yo M presents with cough, low-grade fever, and myalgias for the past 3 to 4 days. Today he has severe, sharp pleuritic chest pain radiating to the left shoulder, worse when he is supine. He smokes 1 ppd. BP 160/95, HR 110, RR 18, T 37.2. The ECG shows:

Question 12

The patient has an avulsion injury and the tooth should be reimplantated.

Although little preparation is needed to ready the socket for reimplantation, clots should be removed with gentle irrigation with NS, though there should be as little manipulation of the socket as possible.

Tuesday, March 17, 15

Page 16: Emergency Medicine No financial Topics disclosures

other selections

• Reimplantation is possible within 2 to 3 hours

• The avulsed tooth should be rinsed with sterile NS or tap water to remove debris before implantation

• The avulsed tooth should not be scrubbed as this may injure the periodontal ligament, which might still be attached to the tooth.

• early improper tooth reimplantation holds a higher success rate for tooth salvage than delayed reimplantation resulting in waiting for an oral surgeon

Angioedema

• Severe allergic reactions range from urticaria to angioedema to anaphylaxis.

• In this patient with airway compromise from angioedema, intramuscular epinephrine is indicated.

• Epinephrine-induced catecholamine release causes vasoconstriction to reduce periglottic edema and improve patency.

• It also increases systemic vascular resistance to maintain blood pressure in anaphylactic shock.

Tuesday, March 17, 15

Angioedema

• Angioedema is an allergic reaction involving the dermis and presents as nonpruritic edema of the submucosa (tongue, lips, face)

• Have a high degree of suspicion for airway compromise, consider laryngoscopic evaluation

• Treatment is same for urticaria, but consider IM epinephrine (0.3-0.5 cc of 1:1000) for impending airway compromise and early airway protection with intubation with intraoral, pharyngeal, and lingual involvement

Urticaria

• Urticaria is an allergic reaction involving the epidermis and presents with pruritic, erythematous, raised wheals of the skin.

• Treatment is mainly supportive

• removing the offending agent, cold compresses

• H1 blockade/antihistamines

• H2 blockers added for severe or refractory sx

• corticosteroids for severe or refractory sx (use short course)

Tuesday, March 17, 15

Anaphylaxis

• A severe systemic hypersensitivity reaction characterized by multisystem involvement, manifested by hypotension or airway compromise

• Look for bronchospasm, voice changes and stridor from laryngeal edema, drooling

• Treatment is same as urticaria/angioedema, but also consider:

• intubation for unstable patients, pressors

• usual ACLS resuscitation

Spider bites

• Black widow spiders

• Classically present with an initial pinprick sensation followed by a mild local inflammatory response (<1 hr)

• Then crampy mylagias at the bite site and spread up the extremity

• Myalgias eventually involve the entire body; patient may present with a rigid abdomen which is difficult to differentiate clinically from peritonitis

Tuesday, March 17, 15

Black widow

• Treatment is supportive

• Opioids and BZs for pain and muscle spasms

• Ca-gluconate found NOT to be effective

• Antivenom may be an option in severe cases

Tuesday, March 17, 15

Brown Recluse

• Classically causes dermal necrosis and black eschars, which are self-limited

• Rarely causes DIC and hemolysis

• Treatment is supportive

Tuesday, March 17, 15

Case #9

Tuesday, March 17, 15

question 15

• Most dog bite infections are polymicrobial and may involve Pasturella, but not usually multocida. Only 5-6% of dog bites become infected (about the same for nonbite lacerations).

• EXCEPT for wounds involving the hand and high-risk patients

• Cat bites become infected 60-80% of the time and thought to be related to virulent strains of P. multocida.

Tuesday, March 17, 15

Mammalian BitesPrinciples

• Assess for life-threatening bites (vascular, bites on the neck)

• Examine for joint & tendon involvement

• Emphasis on wound cleaning

• XRs if foreign body is suspected

• Don’t close hand/foot bites, puncture-type bites, bites >6 hrs, & contaminated wounds

Tuesday, March 17, 15

Page 21: Emergency Medicine No financial Topics disclosures

Dog Bites

• Uncomplicated dog bites do not routinely need prophylactic antibiotics

• EXCEPTION: patient is immuno-compromised (EtOH liver dz, asplenia, chronic corticosteroid use)

• risk of sepsis from C. canimorsus (with gangrene, purpura, petechiae)

Tuesday, March 17, 15

Dog Bites

• amoxicillin/clavulanate for 5-7 days

• alternatives: fluroquinolone (moxifloxacin), doxycycline

• tetanus toxoid

Tuesday, March 17, 15

Cat Bites

• All cat bites should receive prophylactic antibiotics

• amox/clavulanate for 5-7 days

• PCN, amoxicillin, cefuroxime, doxycycline will cover P. multocida

Tuesday, March 17, 15

Human Bites

• Treat all human bites as contaminated puncture wounds

• Usually polymicrobial (Staph and Strep species, Eikenella corrodens, anaerobes)

• treatment of choice is amox/clavulanate
