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.
