Evaluating the knowledge of sports participants regarding dental emergency procedures in National Sports University, Imphal

Introduction: Dental complaints and emergencies are a common emergency department (ED) issue that has not been extensively studied. This study aimed to provide an evaluation of Canadian practice patterns and clinical training relating to dental emergencies in the ED. Methods: We conducted an electronic survey inviting 1520 Canadian emergency medicine (EM) physicians from CAEP’s physician distribution network. Thirty-three questions were asked regarding ED physician training with dental emergencies, practice patterns and comfort with dental care, current available ED dental resources, and how dental care may be improved in Canadian EDs. Standard descriptive statistics were calculated. Results: Survey response rate was 15.1%. Respondents were predominantly male (62.8%) with a mean 15.3 years (SD: ±9.8) of practice, and were primarily CCFP-EM (50.7%) or FRCP-trained (25.6%) in either tertiary (48.0%) or community (36.3%) teaching hospitals. They received broad training on dental issues, but this was limited in scope to ≤1 day of residency (61.4%). A combined majority (59.6%) felt their residency left them somewhat to very unprepared for treating dental complaints, and <40% of physicians reported feeling comfortable with specific, common dental emergency procedures, with the exception of avulsed tooth storage (61.1%). For pain management and local trauma exploration, 36.9% felt somewhat to very uncomfortable performing oral and facial nerve blocks. Many respondents do not have access to any dental emergency supplies (48.0%), or do not know if they have any access (14.2%). Furthermore, 18.9% have no access to any professional support for help with dental emergencies requiring advanced management. Respondents believe dental emergency consultant support is an issue at their centre (62.5%). EM physicians want more training with dental emergencies (79.5%) and improved access to dental-specific emergency materials in their departments (63.7%). The greatest barriers to providing good ED dental care were cost to patients (72.7%), physician comfort treating complaints (54.7%), and clear follow-up with outpatient dental professionals (54.3%). Conclusion: ED physicians feel relatively unprepared by their residency training to treat dental complaints, and professional dental support is an issue in the majority of EDs. Dental care may be improved with more access to training, to dental ED resources and professional support.

OBJECTIVEEmbolization is the most common treatment for dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs). A retrospective, multicenter observational study was conducted in Japan to clarify the nature, frequency, and risk factors for complications of dAVF embolization.METHODSPatient data were derived from the Japanese Registry of Neuroendovascular Therapy 3 (JR-NET3). A total of 40,169 procedures were registered in JR-NET3, including 2121 procedures (5.28%) in which dAVFs were treated with embolization. After data extraction, the authors analyzed complication details and risk factors in 1940 procedures performed in 1458 patients with cranial dAVFs treated with successful or attempted embolization.RESULTSTransarterial embolization (TAE) alone was performed in 858 cases (44%), and transvenous embolization (TVE) alone was performed in 910 cases (47%). Both TAE and TVE were performed in one session in 172 cases (9%). Complications occurred in 149 cases (7.7%). Thirty-day morbidity and mortality occurred in 55 cases (2.8%) and 16 cases (0.8%), respectively. Non–sinus-type locations, radical embolization as the strategy, procedure done at a hospital that performed dAVF embolization in fewer than 10 cases during the study period, and emergency procedures were independent risk factors for overall complications.CONCLUSIONSComplication rates of dAVF embolization in Japan were acceptable. For better results, the risk factors identified in this study should be considered in treatment decisions.

Dental Emergency

Dental caries/Tooth decay is progressive destruction of tooth structure, leading to tooth ache. Tooth ache is the most common type of orofacial pain and when severe it is considered a dental emergency. Pain killers will be the first option to get rid of pain but use of these pain killers have many adverse effects and also its over prescription leads to kidney disorders, liver disorders etc. and in Ayurveda for the management of pain in Krimidanta it is mentioned that, Krimighna (anti-microbial), Vatagna (which relieves Vata) and Ushnaveerya Dravyas (drugs with hot potency) are to be used which can relieve the toothache and discolouration. Hence here an attempt was made to find out an alternate medicine which is effective, has no contraindications and with no side effects. Here the patient was treated with Dantapichu (soaked cotton swab) with Katuparni Ksheera (milk of Argemone Mexicana Linn.) as a local application. After the treatment, a significant response in various symptoms such as tooth pain, tingling sensation and swelling was observed.

Abstract Problem When WHO declared COVID-19 “international”, it was important not to damage some critical patients who need emergency procedures like organ transplantation, due to end stage organ disease. In 2003 SARS outbreak demonstrated the vulnerability of organ transplantation services o network. Descritption If transplantation is required as a life-saving procedure, it can be conducted with appropriate risk infection assessment. It is crucial during these emergencies to assess donor pool, as it is expected to decrease. A crucial point is to organize and evaluate the surge capacity, in terms of understaffing and lack of supplies, especially in ICU. The research methods were literature review using Pub Med, CDC, ECDC, WHO, TTS, searching as key words “SARS-CoV-2”, “COVID-19”, “transplantation”, “preparedness”. The analysis has been conducted between Feb 26th 2020 and March 5th 2020. Results As happened during SARS breakout in 2003, it is essential to establish a task force for crisis, currently updated and skilled for this particular management. Preparedness should regard especially the adoption of donor safety assessment procedures, ICU capability, the availability of covid-19 test for all the donors, and the adoption of specific post-transplant care. It is essential in this case establish preparedness in several points: education and training of the staff, practice drills, inspection of supplies, evaluation of surge capacity, relocation of patients. Lessons SARS-CoV-2 imposed in public health to establish new protocols and guidelines, which should be regularly updated to be useful in other epidemics outbreaks or other emergency situation. These protocols should focus on donor pool and ICU capability in order to carry on transplantation activities. Key messages This outbreak has tested the resilience of the whole system by day-by-day updating for transplantation teams and preparedness of the staff involved in transplantation management. During outbreak, seems to be useful a task force for crisis in order to support organ transplantation services.
