Does Performing Endoscopy Sooner Have An Impact On Outcomes In Patients With Acute Nonvariceal Upper Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage? A Systematic Review., Zahid Ijaz Tarar, Muhammad Usman Zafar, Umer Farooq, Ghulam Ghous, Hafiz Muhammad Hassan Shoukat, Vanessa Kuwajima

Department of Emergency Medicine

Background Endoscopy is the cornerstone for the diagnosis and treatment of nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Regarding the management of nonvariceal bleeding, the administration of crystalloid solution and proton pump inhibitors before endoscopy is well established, but the optimal timing of endoscopy has been a matter of debate and a subject of many investigational studies. The need for urgent endoscopy arises to provide prompt redress to acute bleeding, decrease the length of stay, and lower mortality from ongoing bleeding. Objective This study aimed to determine if endoscopy performed within 24 hours of presentation improves outcomes in terms of mortality, hospital length …

Department of Emergency Medicine

Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a rare, but serious, diagnosis that can lead to blindness, most often due to thromboembolic disease. In the emergency department (ED), CRAO can present as acute, painless loss of vision. Physicians need quick ways to rule in this diagnosis due to the time-sensitive nature of the event. We describe two patients in this cases series who present to the same ED with unilateral painless vision loss and histories that include notable risk factors such as thromboembolic and atherosclerotic disease. Upon arrival, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) done at the bedside allowed for quick determination of CRAO. …


Incidence Of Secondary Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis In Critically-Ill Covid-19 Patients., Jamie Allen, Matthew M Mccambridge, Hope Kincaid, Joshua A Kalter Jul 2021

Incidence Of Secondary Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis In Critically-Ill Covid-19 Patients., Jamie Allen, Matthew M Mccambridge, Hope Kincaid, Joshua A Kalter

Department of Emergency Medicine

Objective Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with diffuse lung injury that can progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome, multisystem-organ failure, and death. The inflammatory storm seen in many COVID-19 patients closely resembles secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH) which has been described in other virus-associated severe sepsis. We sought to describe the incidence of sHLH in COVID-19 infected patients. Design In this retrospective study, we reviewed the records of critically ill COVID-19 positive patients to determine the incidence of sHLH. An H-score for sHLH diagnosis was determined for each study participant, with a score greater than 169 points needed for diagnosis. …

Detection Of Unknown Pregnancy With Complications Using Point-Of-Care Ultrasound., Allison N Kayne, Julie A Fritzges, Michelle W. Huang Md, Elizabeth M. Evans Do

Department of Emergency Medicine

Eclampsia, a condition diagnosed in pre-eclamptic patients who experience seizures, can lead to maternal and fetal death if not treated early. The present case discusses the clinical management of an 18-year-old female who presented to the emergency department (ED) after a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. A physical examination revealed that she was also hypertensive. Based on these symptoms which required urgency due to the patient's instability, and the suspicion that the patient could be pregnant, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) was performed. In this case, a POCUS was a faster more accessible modality than a urine or serum human chorionic gonadotropin test. Although …

Encephalitis Associated With Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Secondary To Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: An Unfamiliar Spin-Off., Ghulam Ghous, Hafiz Muhammad Hassan Shoukat, Muhammad Usman Zafar, Joseph W Mcgreevy, Zahid Ijaz Tara Jun 2021

Encephalitis Associated With Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Secondary To Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: An Unfamiliar Spin-Off., Ghulam Ghous, Hafiz Muhammad Hassan Shoukat, Muhammad Usman Zafar, Joseph W Mcgreevy, Zahid Ijaz Tara

Department of Emergency Medicine

Checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) have become mainstream in standard therapy in various tumors, especially in malignant melanoma. Despite their widespread beneficial effects, these inhibitors are also notorious for immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an aggressive and life-threatening syndrome of excessive immune activation. We report a case of a 33-year-old male having a history of metastatic melanoma on immunotherapy (status post two cycles of ipilimumab/nivolumab) admitted for persistent fever and elevated liver enzymes. Additional work showed anemia, thrombocytopenia, hypertriglyceridemia, and hyperferritinemia which meet the diagnostic criteria of histiocyte society HLH-2004. The patient was effectively treated with oral prednisone. Moreover, …

Resuscitation Of Severe Accidental Hypothermia To Normal Neurologic Outcome With Use Of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation., Jamie Allen, Megan D Wardak, Rovinder S. Sandhu Md, Ahmed Nassar, Marna R. Greenberg Do, Mph, Facep

Department of Emergency Medicine

Accidental hypothermia is a condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. A 48-year-old male with a history of alcohol use disorder and optic neuropathy presented to the emergency department after being found unresponsive with an unknown downtime. One hundred four minutes passed from resuscitation, to pre-hospital discovery, until cannulation with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Here, a rare case of successful resuscitation of a profoundly hypothermic patient to normal neurologic outcome is presented.

Point-Of-Care Ultrasound Assists In Rapid Diagnosis Of T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma In A Young Boy., Ceyda H Sablak, Rebecca M Dudley, Alexander Youngdahl, Kevin R Roth May 2021

Point-Of-Care Ultrasound Assists In Rapid Diagnosis Of T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma In A Young Boy., Ceyda H Sablak, Rebecca M Dudley, Alexander Youngdahl, Kevin R Roth

Department of Emergency Medicine

T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-cell LBL) is an uncommon diagnosis for acute dyspnea in pediatric emergencies. This case details a 13-year-old boy presenting to the ED with dyspnea, who was diagnosed with T-cell LBL. It was a unique presentation in which there was no obvious mediastinal mass on the examination or primary imaging. As a safe and cost-effective modality for a patient that was too unstable to transfer to the radiology department for computed tomography, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) was useful in the patient's rapid assessment for suspected pericardial and pleural effusion. This case highlights the advantage of early utilization of POCUS …
