The first day of the Acute Care module at @UoS_Medicine. So much online learning to recommend to support your learning. Every day of your clinical placement we will tweet out a topic and some resources. Look out for Tweets on your way in, at lunchtime and as your day finishes.

Day one of the final Year 4 Acute Care block of the academic year. Three days of lectures and two days of simulation before starting clinical placements.

[Iain Beardsell @docib]

This is really good. Well worth a listen. Bleeding in early pregnancy is a common presenting complaint in emergency medicine. I particularly like the section about psychosocial aspects and advice for patients.

Really reassuring to see the change in answers to this question from the start to end of the session when talking about looking after a potentially critically unwell patient...

[Southampton Med School Acute Care @UoS_AcuteCare]

Time for our third block of the Acute Care module of the 23/24. The first week is lectures, small group teaching and simulation.

[Southampton Med School Acute Care @UoS_AcuteCare]

What our students thought of their two days of simulation teaching. I think we can all agree that we should have more simulation in undergraduate medical education. It was really good... #MedEd

[Southampton Med School Acute Care @UoS_AcuteCare]

Huge congratulations to all @UoS_Medicine students who have successfully got through their final exams. And if you need to have another go at any, don’t worry- it’ll just make you an even better doctor in the future.

And so it begins. The first acute care module of 2023-24 starts with a week of talks and simulation. Exciting times…

[Southampton Med School Acute Care @UoS_AcuteCare]

Don't forget that other modalities can help relieve pain too - a comfortable, well fitting cast will hold the fracture and also help relieve pain. Watch this video from @DFTBubbles to learn more https://t.co/9tbuOi9afX

[Southampton Med School Acute Care @UoS_AcuteCare]

One of our key roles in ED is to relieve pain. The patient here is in severe pain and so should be offered strong analgesia - I would suggest morphine (either iv if they have a cannula or oral if not. Don't forget the equivalent dose of Oramorph is 3x the iv). #FOAMed

[Southampton Med School Acute Care @UoS_AcuteCare]

Let's test your knowledge about analgesia.
A patient presents to ED with an obviously broken wrist and in severe pain. What analgesic would you choose? (Answer later)

Syncope: A drop in HR may be a bradyarrthymia/CHB or a vasovagal; a drop in SV could be due to outflow obstruction or inadequate pumping (eg VT/VF); TPR drops during postural hypotension.
Look at this @stemlynsmedsch blogpost for more.
