Memory T-waves, a rare cause of T-wave inversion in the emergency department
R Gunaseelan, M Sasikumar, K Aswin, B Nithya, N Balamurugan, M VivekanandanJournal of Emergencies, Trauma, and Shock 2020 13(4):312-316 One of the rare causes of diffuse T-wave inversion (TWI) in electrocardiogram (ECG) is memory T-waves. This should be considered among the differentials of diffuse TWI in ECG of patients presenting to the emergency department (ED), especially when they have previous episodes of ventricular tachycardia (VT) or pacemaker implantation or Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. These TWIs are benign and do not require any treatment. However, it is of paramount importance for the emergency physician t...

Triple blow injury to a limb: Ipsilateral hip and knee dislocation with vascular occlusion
Mantu Jain, Siddhartha Sathia, Rudra Pratap Mahapatra, Shakti Swaroop, Sunil Kumar DokiJournal of Emergencies, Trauma, and Shock 2020 13(4):309-311 Ipsilateral hip and knee dislocation (double blow) occurring simultaneously during trauma are rare occurrences that are associated with secondary complications. These are high energy injuries that warrant acute emergency management more so if associated with vascular compromise. We encountered a poly trauma patient having a combined right anterior hip and ipsilateral knee dislocation with vascular occlusion at popliteus level apart from associated segmental radius fracture of ...

Rapid nuclear medicine blood volume analysis for emergency assessment
David Sadowsky, Abel Suarez-Mazon, Charles Lugo, Tariq Rashid, Jennifer Wu, Perry Gerard, Matty MozzorJournal of Emergencies, Trauma, and Shock 2020 13(4):301-305 Assessment of fluid status can play a critical role in the diagnosis and management of emergent conditions such as trauma, shock, decompensated heart failure, syncope, and hypertension. Unfortunately, common methods are all qualitative and/or indirect, and often inaccurate. With the recent introduction of a modernized method of nuclear medicine blood volume analysis (NM-BVA), offering results in 90 min or less as well as improved precision and ease of performanc...

The effect of illegal drug screening results and chronic drug use on perioperative complications in trauma
Conclusions: DSP was protective of mortality and cardiac complications. Drug disorders were protective for mortality but increased arrhythmia and AC. Delay until the surgery does not diminish cardiac or overall risk. (Source: Journal of Emergencies, Trauma and Shock)
