Open questions recorded in the curriculum document
Section titled “Open questions recorded in the curriculum document”These are the department’s own notes, reproduced so nothing is lost between meetings.
- MSK / Trauma / Evaluation for foreign body — Maybe make an ENT section and put this there, with ophthalmology?
- MSK / Trauma / Epistaxis — Put this in the ENT/ophthalmology section too?
- Obstetrics & Gynecology / Eclampsia / preeclampsia — Meaghan: should just be able to recognize the need for the procedure; attending physician to perform. — Jensen
- Ophthalmology & ENT / Indications for lateral canthotomy — Jensen agrees.
- Ophthalmology & ENT / Indications and steps to perform fluorescein staining — Meaghan: could we combine this with lacerations into one topic?
- Pulmonary / Respiratory failure — Karli: put this in each system section to give key vitals and PE findings that would warrant immediate escalation — e.g. elevated intraocular pressure in a trauma patient, arrhythmia with an unstable blood pressure.
- Procedures / Simple lacerations — Topic? — Jensen agrees.
- Procedures / Paronychia drainage — Karli: same section as abscess incision & drainage?
- Procedures / Nasal packing for epistaxis — Epistaxis is vague — what specifically should we cover here?
- Procedures / Supraglottic airway — Jensen: remove.
- Procedures / Endotracheal intubation — Jensen: remove.
- Procedures / Rapid sequence intubation — Jensen: remove.
- Procedures / Needle thoracostomy — Jensen: remove.
- Procedures / Tube thoracostomy — Jensen: remove.
- Procedures / Peripheral IV placement — Jensen: remove.
- Procedures / Ultrasound-guided IV placement — Jensen: remove.
- Procedures / Central venous catheter placement — Jensen: remove.
- Procedures / Arterial line placement — Jensen: remove.
- Procedures / Intraosseous (IO) placement — Jensen: remove.
- Procedures / Lumbar puncture — Jensen: remove.
- Procedures / Joint immobilization — Take this out — same as splint application.
- Procedures / Fracture / dislocation reduction — Jensen: remove. Clint will cover; we do not.
- Procedures / FAST examination — Needs to be addressed for now — Clint will cover; we do not.
- Procedures / Cardiac ultrasound — Needs to be addressed for now — Clint will cover; we do not.
- Procedures / MSK ultrasound (context: incision and drainage) — Needs to be addressed for now.
- Procedures / Slit lamp exam — Jensen: remove.
