The failure occurred due to an intra-articular fragment, and that hip had to be reduced in the operating room. Ann Emerg Med 58(6):536-540, 2011. The authors report a series of 13 reductions, and all but one were successful. Reference: The Captain Morgan technique for the reduction of the dislocated hip.
In general, non-operative treatment is reserved for Type I fractures and type II. Non-operative management is appropriate if extensor mechanism is intact and the avulsed fragment is displaced less than 2 mm or able to be reduced (hyperextension at the knee) to an acceptable degree of displacement. J Child Orthop 5, 465–470 (2011).
Depending on which of above considerations is operative — the differential diagnosis of the rhythm in ECG #1 will be between: i ) A reentry SVT rhythm with retrograde atrial conduction; ii ) ATach ( A trial T achycardia ) ; — or — iii ) Junctional Tachycardia. ECG Blog #40 — Another regular SVT that turned out to be AFlutter.
Specifically, EM physicians should be able to recognize fractures that will likely require operative management and facilitate close follow up, such as a Maisonneuve fracture. Disruption of these structures yields an unstable ankle fracture, thus making close follow up for operative management imperative. 2011 Jan-Feb;50(1):62-7.
This would therefore remove some of the limitations (perceived or real) around time delays associated with using ultrasound for central access as there would be no need for probe covers and positioning of the portable ultrasound (which often needs the help of a second operator, a significant limitation in a small prehospital medical team).
An emergent ophthalmology consult is needed to plan for operative repair. Epub 2011 Dec 2. Tonometry and ocular ultrasound (US) are generally not recommended as you could squeeze more liquid out of the eye or increase the intraocular pressure even more, pushing the iris further out. Endophthalmitis following open-globe injuries.
OP is operating point, the operating point defines the cardiac output on the y-axis and Pra on the x-axis; Rcardiac is cardiac resistance (i.e., OP1 is operating point 1 at baseline. With tamponade, operating point 2 (OP2) is formed. McNaughton DA, Abu-Yousef MM, (2011) Doppler US of the liver made simple.

Airway complications are also more likely to occur in the emergency department (ED) than in the operating theatre. It can also able to be applied in multiple scenarios, not just the operating theatre, and it more accurately depicts real-world practice. 2011 May;106(5):617–31 Cook TM. Why is it important? Part 1: Anaesthesia.
In this patient with a penetrating posterior flank injury, trace-free fluid in the pelvis on eFAST, and ongoing signs of hemorrhagic shock despite fluid and blood product administration, transferring to the operating room for exploration is indicated, especially with high probability of zone III injury-related retroperitoneal bleeding.

Management consists of intravenous antibiotics , and hand surgery should be consulted to consider operative debridement. Emergency Medicine News 33(12):p 8,9, December 2011. | Inoculation usually occurs by penetrating injury , which seeds the tendon sheath.

Cricothyrotomy performed with the Melker set or the QuickTrach kit: procedure times, learning curves and operators’ preference. British Journal of Anaesthesia (2011) 106 (5): 617-631. Il Giornale Di Chirurgia , 35 (7-8), 165–170. Woodall, N., & Frerk, C. link] Dover, K., Howdieshell, T.
Forrester reported data from the Texas Poison Centers surrounding 110 cases of superabsorbent polymer bead ingestions between 2011 and 2016. They passed away a few days after a second operation.

This often is seen in trauma, cancer, post-operatively, and end-stage metabolic conditions with excessive colloid or protein leak. If the volume of fluid is anticipated to re-accumulate quickly, a drain should be placed. a) left image: normal pleural cavity, image accessed from 2313 The Lung Pleurea - Pleural cavity - Wikipedia ; under CC 3.0
Although remember, as is observed intra-operatively from tourniquet application, muscle can tolerate hours of hypoxia. 2011, 22:77-86. This occurs via inadequate muscle perfusion. Thus, ST-induced rhabdo is secondary to stasis rather than direct physical trauma (as seen in crush injury). ST mechanisms can occur before then. Merchant D.

Background: Rapid sequence intubation (RSI) induction agent selection remains a heavily debated matter.
It wrongly frightened some medical personnel as it was operated by a 50 psi wall source or from a step-down regulator from a tank (some thought the patient received wall 50 psi or 1500 psig from the tank directly to the lung.

Neonatal observational scales have been validated in the intensive care and post-operative settings; ED-specific quantitative scales are lacking. CRIES ( Table 1 ) was validated for post-operative patients; to adapt its use for the ED, the most conservative approach is to substitute “preoperative baseline” with normal range for age.
