Coffee and cases – Consultant teaching 22 June 2018

Thanks for attending consultant teaching yesterday.
With my educator’s hat on, staged repetition is the best way to remember, so here are some links to some of the topics we discussed:

Propranolol OD (Justin Curran):

Rice Bezoar (Gary Ayton):

Only 1 publication:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=rice+bezoar

– you definitely need to write this up!

A good summary:

Bezoars are apparently highly prized and “ascribed mystical and medicinal powers and considered invaluable
possessions”

Cardiac Tamponade (Stacy Turner):

SMS teaching: Pneumothorax

May 2017

Thanks to Dr John Loy

Discussion points:

  1. The majority of large pneumothoraces managed this year have ultimately required intervention
  2. Non-intervention in one case has also generated further dialogue with the Respiratory unit regarding management of these patients
  3. An upcoming multi-centre trial co-ordinated via Monash may further inform our practice
  4. In the meantime discussion with the respiratory or thoracics team on the day regarding large stable pneumothoraces will ensure timely follow-up
