ABSTRACT
The authors present a description of the procedure cart they designed for their Emergency Department. This project was in response to the inefficiencies in having to gather supplies from various locations to get set up. A complete description including each of the drawer contents is provided to allow others to easily replicate a tool that saved the authors much time and frustration in daily practice.
ABSTRACT
Spontaneous spinal epidural hematomas (SSEHs) are neurological emergencies complicated by a wide array of presentations. In this study, we report a case of a patient who presented with neck pain and was diagnosed with an SSEH with computed tomography (CT) angiography with subsequent confirmation by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The high-risk location and size of the lesion guided management and surgical intervention. In a stable patient presenting to the emergency department without focal neurological deficits, clinical suspicion and assessment of risk factors are integral in the evaluation of patient risk and subsequent imaging and intervention.
