  1. Getting Hotter Heat Emergencies in Older Adults

    Getting Hotter Heat Emergencies in Older Adults

    Climate change, and the associated increase in frequency and severity of heat waves, poses a threat to health. Amongst the most at risk for heat-related emergencies are older adults; age-associated physiologic vulnerabilities, chronic conditions, medications that disrupt thermoregulatory responses, and social determinants all contribute to an increased risk of heat-related illness in this population. When an older adult presents to the emergency department (ED) with vague or subtle symptoms of heat exhaustion or heat stroke, they may be missed by ED practitioners – a concerning thought as these patients are at a greater risk of mortality from heat-related emergencies. Optimal management of these presentations requires clinical recognition and treatment within the ED as well as pre-hospital interventions that can be given by emergency medical services (EMS). GEMCast host Dr. Christina Shenvi is joined by Geoff Comp, Associate Program Director at Creighton University School of Medicine/Valleywise Health Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona, as the two do an in-depth review of this critical topic. Dr. Comp holds a wilderness medicine fellowship through the Wilderness Medical Society and is an expert in heat-related illness.

  2. POCUS for Delirium and Agitation: Be ABLE

    POCUS for Delirium and Agitation: Be ABLE

    Our population is aging, and with that comes an increase in the number of older adults in emergency departments. Delirium affects up to 1/3 older adults who present to the ED and is a medical emergency that is often overlooked by ED clinicians. In this episode of GEMCast host Dr. Christina Shenvi discusses the importance of recognising delirium, documenting it, and intervening where possible in the ED with Dr. Kayla Furlong and Dr. Gillian Sheppard. Dr. Furlong and Dr. Sheppard are both emergency medicine physicians in St. John’s, Newfoundland & Labrador, who are experts in point of care ultrasound (POCUS). Dr. Furlong is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Medicine at Memorial University and is the Chair of the CAEP Geriatric EM Committee. Dr. Sheppard is an Associate Professor and Chair of the Discipline of Emergency Medicine at Memorial University. She is also a Diplomate of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada with an Area of Focused Competence in POCUS and is the education lead for the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians Emergency Ultrasound Committee. They have taken a special interest in whether the use of POCUS increases the ED clinicians’ ability to determine the aetiology of a geriatric patient’s delirium or agitation, and in doing so have developed the ABLE approach. They discuss why and how POCUS can be a useful tool and provide helpful tips for ED clinicians for how to implement POCUS. Tune in to learn more about how to approach older adults in the ED considering delirium, agitation, and the challenges they present.

    Precision Relief: Nerve Blocks for Pain in Older Patients

    In today’s episode host Dr. Christina Shenvi is joined by Dr. Robert Sternberg, Ultrasound Director at Akron General to discuss ultrasound-guided nerve blocks for precise pain relief in older patients. Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks provide relief from one of the most common emergency department complaints: pain. In addition to their use in acute pain management, nerve blocks can help reduce the use of opioids, reduce hospital length of stay, and improve patient outcomes and experiences. Using case examples, Dr. Sternberg talks through how to perform 4 common types of nerve blocks you may use in the emergency department with an elderly patient: Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block (FICB), Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) Block, Serratus Anterior Plane (SAP) Block and Erector Spinae Block (ESB). Tune in to hear indications, key anatomical landmarks, dosing, and techniques for each of the nerve blocks.

Diane Wintz, MD, a trauma surgeon who was heavily involved in creating the Generational Health Program. Her goal was to change how traditional health care models approach elderly patients presenting to the ED. Kelly Wright, RN, trained as an oncology nurse and now serves as manager of the program, and Stacy Nilsen, PhD RN, who’s focus is on the feasibility, implementation, education and data assessment of the program. Together they discuss the creation and expansion of the program and highlight the most important aspects of what makes it a success.
