TRAUMATIC CARDIAC ARREST (TCA)🤕

The causes of TCA differ from the causes of ‘medical’ cardiac arrest, and so the immediate priorities differ in each scenario - for TCA, focus on the HOTT principles initially over standard ALS algorithms ‼️🚨

UPDATED LIGHTNING LEARNING 🧠 SICKLE CELL CRISIS 🩸

Sickle cell crisis is a painful, life-threatening complication of sickle cell disease. 🤕

While it can involve any organ system, initial management should focus on resuscitation and analgesic control, with haematology input for ongoing management. 🆘

WEDNESDAY SIMULATION 🧑‍🏫

Our simulation this week began as abdominal pain, but the scenario rapidly escalated into a hyponatraemic seizure. 😱

The team worked well together, ensuring timely management grounded in our local seizure and hyponatraemia guidelines:

- airway management
- seizure control
- timely hypertonic saline

This was a useful case to challenge clinical reasoning and human factors! 💥

LIGHTNING LEARNING ⚡️🧠

Compartment syndrome is a limb threatening emergency requiring urgent senior MDT review! 🚨

This lightning learning takes you through the important clinical features - remember, if in doubt, escalate early! ⏰

Test your knowledge on front-door VF arrest with this sim-based teaching in ten! 👀

The sim based teaching-in-tens are great resources to test your knowledge and consolidate non-technical skills, such as the importance of role allocation, closed loop communication and escalation of concerns! 🚨

Ludwig’s angina is an airway-threatening infection of the tissues in the floor of the mouth, requiring coordinated MDT management. 😮

This lightning learning looks at the clinical features of Ludwig’s angina and what the first steps in your management should be - scan the QR code for local UHL guidelines! 🔗

SIM WEDNESDAYS 🧠

Yesterday, our education team ran two high intensity sims for the ED MDT:

1️⃣ Ligature - hands-on opportunity to use the ligature kit, as well as the need for C-spine and airway protection (including use of scoop and log rolls). The team made decisions around intubation and further imaging to guide immediate management!

2️⃣ Front door abdominal stabbing - focus on non-technical skills including leadership, closed loop communication and confidently articulating what was needed (and why) to specialist teams!

These simulations were hands-on, demanding scenarios allowing staff to showcase and develop their technical and non-technical skills - giving opportunity to high impact learning for all! 🙌

11/02/2026

Our Frailty Insights project, created by EM3 Lead, Dr Jutla, and led by Adults Education Fellow, Dr Ogilvie, is live on our website! 👀🚨
