Penile fracture with urethral rupture: The feasibility of repair through penoscrotal approach
Brij Mohan Joshi, Satish Kumar Ranjan, Mayank Jain, Anant KumarJournal of Emergencies, Trauma, and Shock 2022 15(3):149-151 Penile fracture with an associated urethral injury is a rare urological emergency resulting from trauma to the erect penis during vigorous sexual intercourse. The patient often presents with swelling of the penis, discoloration of the penile skin, localized pain, and hematuria with a typical history of sudden detumescence during intercourse. Subcoronal penile degloving incision has been conventionally described and is frequently used by many clinicians for the management of penile fracture-urethral i...

Ultrasound killed the pelvic examination: Over-reliance on ultrasound resulted in delayed diagnosis of Fitz-Hugh & #8211;Curtis syndrome and potential loss of fertility in a young female patient
We describe a case of multiple missed opportunities to diagnose Fitz-Hugh–Curtis syndrome in a sexually active 26-year-old woman in the emergency department (ED). Repeat ultrasound scans showed a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst. Multiple ED providers relied exclusively on these ultrasound findings as the presumed cause of her pelvic pain, to the detriment of their physical examination. A manual pelvic examination was not performed until her fourth ED return visit, which showed mucopurulent discharge. On the basis of our findings, obstetrics and gynecology team was consulted and the patient underwent diagnostic laparo...

Who & #39;s who in the trauma bay ? Association between wearing of identification jackets and trauma teamwork performance: A simulation study
Conclusion: In this single-center simulation study, wearing identification jackets was associated with an improvement in the trauma team performance TEAM scores. Further studies are needed to confirm these results but they already encourage the consideration of nontechnical skills in the management of severe trauma patients.

Intra-articular lidocaine versus procedural sedation for shoulder dislocation reduction: A randomized trial
Conclusions: This study lacked a sufficient sample size to detect small differences but found no statistically significant difference in mean ED LOS or patient satisfaction for patients who received IAL as compared to PS. Patients in the PS group required fewer attempts for successful reduction. (Source: Journal of Emergencies, Trauma and Shock)

Outcomes and factors associated with occult septic shock in emergency department patients with soft tissue Infection
Conclusions: 13% of the patients with SSTI developed OSS. Patients with OSS had elevated serum lactate concentration and higher SOFA score than those with NSS. Increased SOFA score is a predictor for the development of OSS. (Source: Journal of Emergencies, Trauma and Shock)

Prospective validation of a novel triage system developed in a middle income country - AIIMS triage protocol
Conclusion: When applied to adult nontrauma patients, ATP had a high accuracy in recognizing sick patients presenting to the ED. A time-tested and validated triage system like ATP may be a good starting point for public hospital EDs in LMICs. (Source: Journal of Emergencies, Trauma and Shock)

Factors affecting stress levels in attendants accompanying patients to emergency department
Conclusion: Stress was exhibited in majority of caregivers. Further programs are needed to strengthen training for ED staff to identify early and impending violence and to develop coping mechanisms for well-being of both attendants and health-care professionals.

Military marking round injury to the globe
We report a case of ocular trauma due to such a projectile, resulting in the complete loss of vision and placement of a scleral shell. A 20-year-old man presented with decreased visual acuity in his right eye after being struck at close range by a marking cartridge during military training. Computed tomography imaging revealed a retained metallic foreign body within a deflated right globe, prompting emergent exploration and repair of the right globe. Postoperative course was complicated by pain and pruritis which resolved over a period of months. Nonlethal weapons, such as marking cartridges, are increasingly used for civi...

Linu Abdullatheef, Manes Anil, Arjun Athmaram, Vishnu R Krishnan, Stalin J Roy, Yoganathan M N NamboothiryJournal of Emergencies, Trauma, and Shock 2022 15(2):105-107 Fecopneumothorax causing tension (hemodynamic compromise) is an extremely rare situation, mostly as a result of blunt trauma. Here, we present an 86-year-old gentleman who presented with tension fecopneumothorax, with an interesting backstory as to the development of fecopneumothorax.
