RESUMO

We developed a writing rubric that assessed the quality of four common errors found in the synopsis of a discharge summary: relevance, accuracy, clarity and presentation (R-A-C-P). We assessed the effect of an intervention that taught the essentials of discharge summary preparation. The intervention reduced the number of inadequate discharge summaries written by medical staff on a busy medical service. Writing the clinical synopsis of a discharge summary is a skill that can be taught quickly.

RESUMO

A rare case of sea-snake bite resulting in envenoming is reported. Comparison is made with clinical features of sea-snake envenoming as described in the literature. Some of the unusual features observed in our patient were the occurrence of pain at the site of the bite, regional lymph node enlargement and absence of muscle pain and tenderness. Polyvalent land-snake antivenom was used in the management of this patient since specific antivenom against sea-snake envenoming is not available in Sri Lanka. There was some improvement in neurological signs after the start of antivenom treatment. This is the first authenticated case of sea-snake envenoming in Sri Lanka.
