Emergency Medicine Kwa-Zulu Natal Style
aka Postcards from the Edge 010 Each time we feature a ‘postcard from the edge’ from the somewhat infamous New Zealand-trained emergency physician Dr Sandy Inglis he is somewhere new — we last heard from him as a patient in Italy, now he is back in ancestral lands in Kwa-Zulu Natal. Only 2 months have past in this, the wild west of Emergency Medicine, and yet the drama, the excitement, the frustration and the chaos make it feel like we have been here for years. I am employed here as the Head of Department for Emergency Medicine, plucked from the comfort of Australasian Emergency Medicine (EM) to come to this ...

Is it Triage? Or is it Bricolage?
Australian Emergency Departments all use the Australasian Triage Scale (ATS) to triage every patient presenting through its doors. Triage can be defined as: A process of assessment of a patient on arrival to the ED to determine the priority for medical care based on the clinical urgency of the patient’s presenting condition. Triage enables allocation of limited resources to obtain the maximum clinical utility for all patients presenting to the emergency department.’ The triage nurse applies an ATS category in response to the question: “This patient should wait for medical assessment and treatment no longer than….

SMACC PK Round-Up 4
As promised last week, here’s a round up of the next battery of PK SMACC-talks gunning for the prize of an iPad Mini at the increasingly imminent SMACC conference. Alan Williams gives the 400 second run down on Non-Invasive Ventilation we all wished we’d been given before we first slapped it on a patient. Something’s got to give is Becky Szekely‘s enlightening overview of organ transplantation from an intensive care perspective in Australia. (NB. The sound is a little shaky at the start but gets better). I’ve been looking forward to Emergency Medicine Ireland‘s Andy Neill (@andyneill) joi...

Prof Montage 3 minute cardiology
The pleomorphic education revolution is upon us In the FOAMed age I am constantly amazed at the resourcefulness of medical educators globally to produce high quality, entertaining, thought-provoking, stimulating and controversial multimedia…for free. We are throwing off the shackles of peer review and boldly placing both feet in the anarchistic torrent of crowd-sourced education, feedback, commentary and response. As technology develops; broadband access to data improves and educators embrace the new medium – we will see an exponential growth in alternate teaching methods. Prof Montage is a cardiologist practi...

So, you wanna know about SMACC CLUB?
FOAM is sometimes considered frivolous or lacking in rigour by those in the dark (ages). Here is our chance to show that FOAMers are as interested in the evidence (or lack thereof) underlying the things we do as much as the next emergency medicine or critical care practitioner. It’s called SMACC CLUB! Image by @squartadoc – click image for source. Here are the 8 rules of SMACC CLUB (they may seem strangely familiar to Chuck Palahniuk fans): The first rule of SMACC CLUB is that you MUST talk about SMACC CLUB! Yeah, you know the second rule … If someone says “stop” or goes limp, taps out the c...
