Emergency patients frequently present with significant pain to limbs, skin and body cavities as a result of trauma, inflammation or other tissue injury or illness. Join us as we take a look at the use of local anaesthesia techniques in the management of acute pain in the emergency patient – techniques that reduce patient risk, dramatically reduce harmful nociceptor stimulation, and that can facilitate safe and effective patient handling during stabilisation and treatment.

The gastrointestinal tract frequently requires intervention with surgery to manage a wide range of diseases – both primary gastrointestinal disease, and where intestinal disease or malnutrition can occur secondary to disease outside the GI tract. Join us as we detail feeding tube placement, rectal catheterization, and a selection of intra-abdominal surgical techniques, designed to help give the clinician greater confidence in these procedures.

The patient with respiratory or cardiac disease is often a fragile patient, with limited physiological reserves – making prompt diagnosis and management of their underlying condition extremely important. From low-stress imaging to emergency therapeutics, this lecture will detail a collection of short procedures, including lung ultrasound, thoracocentesis, and tracheal oxygen supplementation, to chest drain placement and emergency pericardiocentesis.
