Background

Indwelling urethral catheters can sometimes be accidently inserted into the ureter, which impedes urine flow.

Case report

We report a 74-year-old Japanese woman with neurogenic bladder who visited to our hospital due to fever. She was diagnosed as pyelonephritis based on her symptoms and laboratory findings, including pyuria. Abdominal computed tomographic scan showed an indwelling urethral catheter accidently malpositioned into a right ureter, caused ureteral dilatation, and hydronephrosis. Her urethral catheter was replaced, and she was successfully treated with piperacillin-tazobactam and cefotiam.

Why should an emergency physician be aware of this?

Urethral catheter malpositioning into the ureter may be asymptomatic and overlooked in patients with neurogenic bladder, which can result in obstructive pyelonephritis. Prompt urethral catheter replacement is essential in treating such conditions.

留置导尿管有时会意外插入输尿管,从而阻碍尿液流动。病例报告我们报告一名74岁的日本妇女,因发烧到我们医院就诊。根据她的症状和化验室检查结果,包括脓尿,诊断为肾盂肾炎。腹部计算机断层扫描显示留置导尿管意外错位进入右输尿管,导致输尿管扩张及肾积水。她的导尿管被更换,她成功地用哌拉西林-他唑巴坦和头孢替安治疗。急诊医生为什么要意识到这一点?在神经源性膀胱患者中,导尿管错位进入输尿管可能是无症状和被忽视的,这可能导致梗阻性肾盂肾炎。及时更换导尿管是治疗此类疾病的必要条件。

Background

Ulnar artery thrombosis (UAT) refers to occlusion of the ulnar artery due to a blood clot and is a subcategory of hypothenar hammer syndrome (HHS). We present a case of right ulnar artery thrombosis that was pharmacologically managed in the Emergency Department (ED) and inpatient ward.

Case report

A 52-year-old male with a history of anemia and elevated ferritin presented to the ED with a 5-day history of skin discoloration, numbness, and tingling of his right 5th finger. CT angiogram showed a focal 1.5 cm-long thrombotic ulnar artery occlusion at the palmar bifurcation and embolic occlusion of the 5th digital arteries in the finger. Following consultation with vascular surgery, he was given intravenous heparin, transitioned to apixaban for lifelong anticoagulation therapy, and discharged following the placement of a Zio patch.

Why should an emergency physician be aware of this?

The patient's career involving manual labor, elevated ferritin, and smoking history may have been risk factors for UAT development. Our case illustrates the value of interdisciplinary collaboration and conservative management in low-acuity cases of UAT.

背景尺骨动脉血栓形成(UAT)是指由于血栓导致的尺骨动脉闭塞,是小鱼际锤综合征(HHS)的一个子类。我们报告了一例在急诊科(ED)和住院病房进行药物治疗的右尺动脉血栓形成病例。病例报告:一名52岁男性,有贫血和铁蛋白升高病史,向急诊科就诊,有5天的皮肤变色、麻木和右五指刺痛病史。CT血管造影显示手掌分叉处有1.5厘米长的局灶性血栓性尺动脉闭塞,手指第5指动脉栓塞闭塞。在咨询了血管手术后,他接受了静脉注射肝素,转为阿哌沙班进行终身抗凝治疗,并在放置ZioⓇ贴片后出院。为什么急诊医生应该意识到这一点?患者的体力劳动、铁蛋白升高和吸烟史可能是UAT发展的危险因素。我们的案例说明了跨学科合作和保守管理在UAT低敏锐度病例中的价值。

Background

A bezoar is a collection of indigestible material found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract that has become large enough not to progress through the rest of the intestinal system. Bezoars are caused by both food and non-food materials. Symptoms resemble other forms of GI obstructions with post-prandial fullness, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss.

Case report

A five-year-old male presented to the emergency department (ED) complaining of abdominal pain and diarrhea. He reportedly swallowed a large quantity of chewing gum a day before his presentation. A computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a gastric bezoar due to chewing gum. The patient was successfully treated with several passes of an esophagoduodenoscopy (EGD) to remove the chewing gum mass.

Why should an emergency physician be aware of this?

Gastric bezoars are rare and can vary in their presentations. ED physicians must consider bezoars in their differential diagnosis for pediatric patients presenting with postprandial fullness, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or weight loss. Complications of bezoars include ischemia and perforation. A thorough history can help delineate the material causing the bezoar. Treatment of bezoars varies and can include treatment with carbonated beverages, endoscopy, and surgery.

牛黄是一种在胃肠道(GI)中发现的不易消化的物质的集合,这些物质已经变得足够大,无法通过肠道系统的其他部分。牛粪是由食物和非食物材料引起的。症状类似于其他形式的胃肠道阻塞,伴有餐后饱腹感、腹痛、恶心、呕吐和体重减轻。病例报告一名五岁男性到急诊科(ED)主诉腹痛和腹泻。据报道,他在演讲前一天吞下了大量口香糖。腹部和骨盆的计算机断层扫描(CT)显示咀嚼口香糖引起的胃牛黄。患者通过多次食管十二指肠镜检查(EGD)成功切除了口香糖团块。急诊医生为什么要意识到这一点?胃牛黄很少见,其表现形式也各不相同。对于出现餐后饱腹、腹痛、恶心、呕吐或体重减轻的儿科患者,急诊科医生必须在鉴别诊断时考虑牛粪。牛黄的并发症包括缺血和穿孔。详细的病史可以帮助描述引起牛黄的物质。牛黄的治疗方法多种多样,包括碳酸饮料、内窥镜检查和手术治疗。

Background

Hypopharyngeal injuries are infrequently described, and management is extrapolated from the literature on esophageal perforations. Cases may present with associated pneumomediastinum and are associated with high morbidity and mortality, particularly if there is a delay in diagnosis.

Case Report

A 52-year-old man presented with dyspnea and neck swelling after inserting a toothbrush into his throat when he thought he was developing an allergic reaction to sushi. He had extensive neck and chest crepitus, with pneumomediastinum identified on chest x-ray. Flexible laryngoscopy was used to directly identify a posterior pharyngeal perforation. The patient was hemodynamically stable without signs of sepsis, and the otolaryngology consultant deferred surgical intervention. He was successfully treated with conservative medical management and made a full recovery.

Why should an emergency physician be aware of this?

Hypopharyngeal perforation is a rare diagnosis with high morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and early surgical consultation are essential to minimize complications of this rare presentation.

背景咽部损伤很少被描述,治疗方法是从食管穿孔的文献中推断出来的。病例可能伴有纵隔气肿,并伴有高发病率和死亡率,特别是在诊断延误的情况下。病例报告:一名52岁男子以为自己对寿司过敏,将牙刷插入喉咙后出现呼吸困难和颈部肿胀。他有广泛的颈部和胸部震颤,胸片上发现纵隔气肿。使用柔性喉镜直接识别咽后穿孔。患者血流动力学稳定,无脓毒症症状,耳鼻喉科会诊医生推迟了手术干预。经保守治疗,患者完全康复。急诊医生为什么要意识到这一点?下咽穿孔是一种罕见的诊断,发病率和死亡率都很高。早期诊断,广谱抗生素和早期手术咨询是必要的,以尽量减少并发症这种罕见的表现。

Background

The term “cotton fever” describes a benign, self-limited febrile response within minutes following cotton filter use with intravenous (IV) drug injection. We present a case of Pantoea species (previously Enterobacter agglomerans) bacteremia related to injection of solubilized oxycodone.

Case report

A 33-year-old male solubilized half of an oxycodone 5 mg tablet in tap water, filtered it with cotton and injected it intravenously. He immediately felt unwell. Initial vital signs included a temperature of 40.5 ​°C, blood pressure 150/107 ​mmHg, heart rate 170 bpm, respiratory rate 28 bpm, and SpO2 of 98% on room air. His physical exam was notable only for rigors. Initial laboratory studies demonstrated a serum lactate of 2.7 mmol/L without leukocytosis. He was treated with vancomycin and piperacillin/tazobactam for two days with resolution of fever. Blood cultures were positive for Pantoea species resistant to ampicillin and cefazolin. He continued piperacillin/tazobactam for three additional days then transitioned to oral levofloxacin for seven days upon discharge.

Why should an emergency physician be aware of this?

Cotton fever describes an acute, febrile response following IV injection using cotton as a filter. The initial febrile reaction could be due to pyrogens or preformed endotoxins. Bacteremia from Enterobacter agglomerans (now Pantoea species) is possible and is frequently resistant to amoxicillin and first- and second-generation cephalosporins.

背景:“棉热”一词描述的是在静脉注射药物后使用棉滤网几分钟内出现的良性、自限性发热反应。我们提出一个病例Pantoea种(以前肠杆菌团聚)菌血症与注射溶氧可酮。病例报告:一名33岁男性将一半羟考酮5毫克片剂溶解于自来水中,用棉花过滤后静脉注射。他立刻感到不舒服。最初的生命体征包括体温40.5°C,血压150/107 mmHg,心率170 bpm,呼吸率28 bpm,室内空气SpO2为98%。他的体格检查只因为严格而引人注目。初步实验室研究显示血清乳酸2.7 mmol/L,无白细胞增多。患者给予万古霉素和哌拉西林/他唑巴坦治疗2天,发热消退。血培养对氨苄西林和头孢唑林耐药的泛菌属呈阳性。他继续服用哌拉西林/他唑巴坦3天,出院后改用口服左氧氟沙星7天。急诊医生为什么要意识到这一点?棉花热是指使用棉花作为过滤器进行静脉注射后出现的急性发热反应。最初的发热反应可能是由于热原或预先形成的内毒素。可能出现聚集肠杆菌(现在是Pantoea种)引起的菌血症,并且经常对阿莫西林和第一代和第二代头孢菌素耐药。

Background

Emergency physician use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is emerging as a promising tool to aid diagnosis and treatment during resuscitation.

Case report

We present a case of aVR ST-elevation myocardial infarction followed by witnessed cardiac arrest and diagnosis of aortic dissection by resuscitative TEE intra-arrest. We propose the aortic dissection caused severe aortic regurgitation, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and coronary artery malperfusion due to intimal intussusception through the aortic valve, ultimately resulting in death.

Why should an emergency physician be aware of this?

Resuscitative TEE rapidly identified this unexpected life-threatening pathology and drastically changed patient management.

急诊医师使用经食管超声心动图(TEE)作为一种有前途的工具来帮助复苏期间的诊断和治疗。病例报告我们报告了一例aVR st段抬高型心肌梗死,随后心脏骤停,并通过复苏TEE停搏诊断主动脉夹层。我们认为主动脉夹层通过主动脉瓣引起严重的主动脉反流、左心室流出道梗阻和冠状动脉内膜肠套叠灌注不良,最终导致死亡。急诊医生为什么要意识到这一点?复苏TEE迅速发现了这种意想不到的危及生命的病理,并彻底改变了患者的管理。

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic has made facial masks an essential part of daily life. While protective facial masks are crucial to help the spread of viral infections, they are common causes of facial skin breakdown, acne, and superficial injuries. Masks with elastic ear loops are also particularly likely to cause ear pressure injuries.

Case report

Herein, we present a case of a patient experiencing homelessness found to have significant postauricular wounds due to prolonged mask use in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. These injuries led to bilateral erosion of the helix with partial avulsion of the ear and mask ear loops eroding into cartilage.

Why should an emergency physician be aware of this?

We describe a rare complication of mask use and highlight the difficulties the COVID pandemic has made in providing adequate care for chronic head and neck wounds amongst the homeless population. While PPE remains an important part of decreasing the risk of the spread of infections, it is important to recognize the vulnerabilities of the homeless population during the COVID pandemic and how best to care for novel auricular wounds.

背景新冠肺炎大流行使口罩成为日常生活的重要组成部分。虽然防护口罩对帮助病毒感染的传播至关重要,但它们是导致面部皮肤破裂、痤疮和浅表损伤的常见原因。带有弹性耳挂的口罩也特别容易造成耳压损伤。病例报告在此,我们报告了一名无家可归的患者的病例,该患者因在新冠肺炎大流行的背景下长期使用口罩而被发现有严重的耳后伤口。这些损伤导致双侧螺旋线侵蚀,耳朵部分撕脱,耳罩环侵蚀软骨。为什么急诊医生应该意识到这一点?我们描述了使用口罩的一种罕见并发症,并强调了新冠肺炎疫情在为无家可归者的慢性头颈部伤口提供充分护理方面所带来的困难。虽然个人防护装备仍然是降低感染传播风险的重要组成部分,但重要的是要认识到无家可归者在新冠肺炎疫情期间的脆弱性,以及如何最好地护理新的耳部伤口。
