Another week of Beaumont EM Grand Rounds Pearls!
First we had a fantastic review of ophtho emergencies given by on of our Ophthalmologist colleagues!
1. Remember swinging light test to determine (+)afferent pupillary defect. This can can be a sign of many emergent conditions
Finally, we had a guest lecturer Dental Resident talk about dental emergencies.
Confused about oral nerve blocks? Anesthesia can be obtained by injecting directly superior to the tooth involved. Consider bupivacaine for as long as 12 hrs of pain relief!
I’m very proud of our Emergency Medicine residency program - it’s a fantastic, supportive place to train to become a world-class EM physician! If you are a prospective medical student interested in EM, check out our “Day in the Life” video. 😊
