Medical Drones Will Thrive in Healthcare: A Safe Road to Health
Time is crucial in healing, no matter whether it’s about a natural disaster, heart attack or an organ transplant. In future medical emergencies, where urgent response will be necessary, drones will mean the fastest answer. They will fly the extra mile in delivering drugs, vaccines, blood or organs. Drones are the future of delivery According to my geek calendar, 2017 will be the year of the drone. These advanced versions of model airplanes or unmanned aerial vehicles are everywhere on the rise. According to the estimates of the Consumer Technology Association, 9.4 million units were projected to be sold in 2016 worl...

The eICU Is Turning Night Into Day Through Telemedicine
Physicians and nurses deliver care from the other side of the Earth by working in daylight hours in Australia covering night shifts in Atlanta with the help of telemedicine. That’s the core concept of how night intensive care in the Emory eICU Center is carried out in partnership with Emory Healthcare, the Royal Perth Hospital in Australia and health technology company, Philips. Emory is the very first who’s bringing its staff to the other side of the globe for better patient care and more satisfied staff. The vision to turn “night into day” was co-developed by Timothy Buchman, Ph.D., MD, founding director of the E...

Safe Consumption Sites Reduce The Stress on Hospitals and Emergency Departments
Jeffrey A. SingerI wrote previously about a secret safe consumption site that has been providing services in an undisclosed location since 2014. The harm reduction organization operating it has agreed to share its data with researchers providing the researchers keep the name and location of the site confidential. This is because the federal “Crack House Statute” makes safe consumption sites illegal in the U.S.The researchers published theirfirst report in 2017. They reported that in the site ’s first 2 years of operation there were 2,574 injections among more than 100 participants, most of whom were injecti...

Real ED Stories – Book Review
Emergency is an anatomy book. It is a collection of stories penned by Emergency Physicians across Australia, and through them the heart of the Emergency Department is meticulously dissected. The raw stories of individuals, of both patients and their clinicians, are laid wide open, for all to see. Emergency is a book that is by turns painful, occasionally gruesome, many times uplifting, but always, in its honesty, brilliantly authentic. These are short stories, written not by masterful authors, but by the doctors working at the coalface of Australasian ED’s. And in that is its strength. Some of the stories read like catha...

Button Battery Update
LITFL • Life in the Fast Lane Medical Blog LITFL • Life in the Fast Lane Medical Blog - Emergency medicine and critical care medical education blog Button battery ingestion is one of the leading causes of death in paediatric poisoning and this has sharply risen from 2016 despite manufacturing warnings and the addition of tape to cover the negative side (not very useful once you’ve removed that to place it in your device). See Poison.org for more statistics. What makes button battery ingestion more frightening is the fact that the ingestion may go unwitnessed, the child may have vague symptoms like ‘off...

Safe Sport – Protecting the Players and the Game
Rugby and contact sport has always been a part of my life; from the junior rugby fields where organizing young children is like herding cats, to university rugby with post game beers and weekly rejection from the blondes of the ladies hockey team. I’ve always been passionate about sport but now as I’m aging and no longer finding difficulty putting on weight, I’m noticing a different aspect to it; in particular, a large change in the way we prepare and our awareness of participant safety. Many of us will be able to name some disasters in sport. One of the most high profile in the last few years would have to be Philli...
