Most popular medical Questions
If a toddler suffers a full-thickness burn to the corner of the mouth after biting on an electrical cord, what complications are possible?Severe burns of the oral commissure can become markedly edematous within the first several hours. An eschar develops at the site, which can detach and cause significant bleeding from the labial artery 1-3 weeks later. Scarring can be extensive, and plastic surgeons should be consulted early during the management of this kind of injury.
What agents are the most common causes of anaphylaxis seen in U.S. emergency rooms?
Food. Peanuts, tree nuts (e.g., almonds, hazelnuts) and seafood head the list and are twice as common as bee stings as a trigger. Severe reactions occur 1-2 hours after exposure. Anaphylaxis may occur without a skin reaction, so a high index of suspicion is needed in a child with unexplained sudden bronchospasm, laryngospasm, severe gastrointestinal symptoms, or poor responsiveness. In some adolescents, certain foods (e.g., wheat, celery, shellfish), if ingested within 4 hours of exercise, can lead to food-dependent, exercise-induced anaphylaxis. Risk factors for fatal anaphylactic reactions include a history of asthma, delayed diagnosis, and delayed administration of epinephrine.
What advice should be given over the telephone regarding the transportation of an avulsed digit?
Wrap the severed piece in a dry gauze (sterile, if possible). Place the wrapped piece in a small, sealed plastic bag to minimize its contact with water. Place this bag in a container filled with ice. It is incorrect to place the avulsed piece in any liquid, because this causes tissue swelling. Direct contact with ice is to be avoided to prevent tissue necrosis.
How many days should sutures remain in place?
Blood supply dictates healing: the more blood, the better and the faster the healing. In general, as the site of laceration proceeds, from head to toe, the length of time of suture placement increases: eyelids-3 days; face-5 days; trunk and upper extremities-7 days; and lower extremities-10 days.
What should be done if nerve damage is suspected?
For injuries to major nerves (e.g., the brachial plexus), immediate consultation is necessary. If the digital nerve is injured, immediate repair is not essential, and this is not a true emergency. Delayed nerve repair is very satisfactory, particularly in younger children. If an operating suite and personnel are not poised to proceed, skin closure can be done and the operation deferred (after surgical consultation). Care must be taken to avoid the use of a hemostat or clamp to stop arterial bleeding because this may cause further damage to the nerve. Simple pressure-often for extended periods-generally suffices.
Which lacerations should not be sutured?
Lacerations at high risk for infection should be considered for healing by secondary intention or delayed primary closure. As a general rule, these include cosmetically unimportant puncture wounds, human bites, lacerations involving mucosal surfaces (e.g., mouth, vagina), and wounds with a high probability of contamination (e.g., acquired in a garbage bin). Many authorities in the past recommended that wounds untreated for more than 6-12 hours on the arms and legs and for 12-24 hours to the face not be sutured. However, the type of wound and risk for infection are more important than any absolute time criterion. For example, a noncontaminated laceration of the face should be considered for suturing even 24 hours after the injury. A good rule of thumb is as follows: If you can irrigate and clean a wound to the point at which it looks "fresh," then you are safe to close it primarily. Otherwise, you should let it heal by secondary intention.
When is the use of lidocaine with epinephrine contraindicated as a local anesthetic?
When there is a question of tissue viability and in any instance in which vasoconstriction might produce ischemic injury to an end organ without an alternative blood supply (e.g., tip of the nose, margin of the ear, tip of the finger or toe).
In what situations is EMLA cream useful?
EMLA, as noted above, is made up of an eutectic mixture of local anesthetics, which are lidocaine and prilocaine. EMLA is very useful for anesthetizing the skin before venipuncture, intravenous placement, injection, lumbar puncture, and circumcision. The cream is placed on the site and covered with an occlusive dressing for 1-2 hours. Obviously, its most practical use is for anticipated procedures.
