How are toxins processed? What happens when we exceed the normal detoxification pathways and toxicity develops? What decontamination strategies do we have to limit risk of toxicity developing? We unlock the secrets of cytochrome P450, P glycoprotein efflux pumps and glucuronidation in this tutorial... well, not really, but we talk a lot about how confusing it is!

In this tutorial, we run through changes to the CPR guidelines, using the phenomenal resource https://recoverinitiative.org/2024-guidelines/. It is so reassuring to be seeing some evidence-based consensus in this field! 

We get deep into the clinical presentation and management of sepsis and SIRS - most common causes, pathogenesis of the inflammatory response, and organs / systems effected. We also cover the different presentations and management of Anaphylaxis. 

Today we discuss the different types of bleeding and neurological disorders we can see in emergency presentations (where my smart colleagues teach me stuff about transfusion medicine!). The last section of the tutorial is how to differentiate a surgical from a non-surgical acute abdomen, some cool tricks in this bit! 

We have moved onto emergency medicine today, and starting at the beginning, cover a system for triaging that people starting their emergency med journey can use so as not to miss things. We cover the endothelial glycocalyx for dummies, and the implications for fluid management and resuscitation in different clinical scenarios. 

Interventional medicine might seem a bit unapproachable for most patients / cases / clinics… In this tutorial, we run through all the contrast studies and interventional techniques that are approachable in your clinics. How do we diagnose an obstructed Ureter? How can we pick up ectopic ureters? This is a practical guide to what you can do with a bottle of iodine and an X-ray machine! 

Actually more of an extension of the POCUS exam discussion from last tutorial. Today we run through what to expect and what questions you can answer with thoracic ultrasonography. We just spend 10 minutes discussing different sample preparation techniques to maximise the pathologists chance of getting an answer.  

There's a lot of buttons on the ultrasound machine, which ones do I need? which ones will mess everything up? We run through the three settings that will help you in an emergency, and the views that can help you find free fluid, renal pelvic dilation, ileus, and bladder pathology, pneumothorax and more.
