    Study Notes

    Pediatric Ophthalmology

    • For a 5-year-old with eye misalignment, perform the Hirschberg corneal reflex test as initial assessment.
    • Sudden onset of convergent squint and double vision in a child requires CT scan to rule out space-occupying lesions.

    Colorectal Cancer Screening

    • A 40-year-old with a relative diagnosed with colon cancer should start screening at age 50 and repeat every 10 years.

    Emergency Management

    • In cases of MVA with distended neck veins and decreased air entry, urgent needle decompression is critical for initial management.
    • For a 10-year-old with facial trauma and failed intubation attempts, cricothyrotomy is the best management step.

    Inguinal Hernia Management

    • A 33-year-old male with reducible inguinal swelling should undergo tension-free mesh herniorrhaphy for optimal management.

    Pediatric Infectious Diseases

    • A 7-month-old with sneezing and rhinorrhea likely has RSV, especially following similar symptoms in a sibling.

    Lung Cancer Screening

    • For a 49-year-old male smoker, low-dose CT is the most appropriate tool for pulmonary cancer screening.

    Neonatal Health Issues

    • A newborn with bleeding and prolonged activated PTT may have hemorrhagic disease of the newborn.

    Thyroid Nodules

    • In the presence of a 2 cm solid thyroid nodule, fine needle biopsy is the next step for evaluation.

    Croup Diagnosis

    • Diagnosing croup relies primarily on clinical examination, without the need for imaging.

    Varicella Exposure in Children

    • After exposure to chickenpox, administering the varicella vaccine is recommended for unvaccinated children, even if asymptomatic.

    Gastrointestinal Bleeding

    • An unstable elderly patient with lower GI bleeding should receive urgent colonoscopy for evaluation and management.

    Colonic Distension Management

    • In a patient with schizophrenia experiencing abdominal distention and a dilated colon without obstruction, decompression via colonoscopy is indicated.

    Neonatal Neurological Assessment

    • A 2-day old infant with seizures and increased muscle tone after normal CSF analysis is likely suffering from hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy.

    Tuberculosis in Vaccinated Children

    • A 2-year-old who received the BCG vaccine but was exposed to active TB should undergo IGRA testing, a chest X-ray, and consider isoniazid prophylaxis.

    Cholecystitis Management

    • For a patient with RUQ pain and pericholecystic fluid, an ultrasound-guided cholecystostomy tube is the recommended management.

    Paracetamol Overdose

    • Ingesting paracetamol above toxic levels with no symptoms warrants immediate administration of N-acetylcysteine as antidotal therapy.
