An intubation technique using hyperangulated video laryngoscopy and a DuCanto suction catheter preloaded with a bougie: A case report with a video demonstration.

Video laryngoscopy outperforms direct laryngoscopy for successful orotracheal intubation in the emergency department. When performing video laryngoscopy, emergency physicians may use a standard geometry blade or a hyperangulated blade. Hyperangulated video laryngoscopy is easier when using a rigid hyperangulated stylet instead of a standard malleable stylet.

The Zipperator! A Novel Model to Simulate Penile Zipper Entrapment.

Audience: The Zipperator training model is designed for emergency medicine resident physicians and physicians.

Introduction: Zipper entrapment injuries are an uncommon cause of penile injury in the emergency department, representing an incidence of less than 0.5% of pediatric emergency department visits.

"Good Catch, Kiddo"-Enhancing Patient Safety in the Pediatric Emergency Department Through Simulation.

Objectives: Adverse events that affect patient safety are a significant concern in pediatrics. Increasing situational awareness, identifying errors and near misses, and reporting them using organizational incident reporting systems enables mitigation of harm.

Methods: We designed and tested a brief, interactive, and easily replicable simulation activity for medical students, and emergency medicine interns and pediatric interns to strengthen their skills and enhance their self-efficacy in identifying and reporting patient safety hazards.

Human norovirus in untreated sewage and effluents from primary, secondary and tertiary treatment processes.

Wastewater treatments are considered important means to control the environmental transmission of human norovirus (NoV). Information about NoV concentrations in untreated and treated effluents, their seasonality and typical removal rates achieved by different treatment processes is required to assess the effectiveness of sewage treatment processes in reducing human exposure to NoV. This paper reports on a characterisation of concentrations of NoV (genogroups I and II) in untreated sewage (screened influent) and treated effluents from five full scale wastewater treatment works (WwTW) in England.
