Shock is a state of acute circulatory failure leading to decreased organ perfusion, inadequate delivery of oxygenated blood to tissues, and resultant end-organ dysfunction. A 45-year-old male patient a known case of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) presented to the Emergency Room (ER) with a complaint of fever for four days and shortness of breath for one day. The patient had a wound discharging pus over the dorsum of the right foot for two weeks following trauma. On examination, the patient’s vitals were: pulse rate-88 Beats Per Minute (bpm), respiratory rate-26 breaths per minute, SpO2-78% room air, Blood Pressure (BP)-82/40 mmHg mean arterial pressure- 54 mmHg. As a protocol of shock evaluation, Point Of Care Ultrasonography (POCUS) showed a distended Inferior Vena Cava (IVC), dilated right atrium and ventricle, and good left ventricular systolic function. Given the presence of right leg swelling, ultrasound was done, which showed a thrombus in the popliteal vein. Noradrenaline infusion was started to maintain a mean arterial blood pressure of 70 mmHg. A diagnosis of obstructive shock due to pulmonary embolism was strongly suspected, and thrombolysis with injection streptokinase was done. After two hours of thrombolysis, Two-Dimensional (2D) Echocardiography (ECHO) revealed normal right atrium and ventricle size and IVC collapsibility index of 70%, but the patient’s blood pressure didn’t improve significantly. So, adequate intravenous fluid was given as per the septic shock protocol. But, the noradrenalin requirement didn't improve. The patient was put on broad-spectrum antibiotics. Blood culture showed growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. So, a diagnosis of co-existing septic shock with obstructive shock was made. The patient improved and discharged in stable condition. The present case report highlights the co-existence of septic shock and obstructive shock and the usefulness of POCUS in differentiating and managing various shocks.

Introduction: In India, a national program for stroke (national programme for the control of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, and stroke) and stroke management guidelines exist. Its successful implementation would need an organized system of stroke care in practice. However, many challenges exist including lack of awareness, prehospital notification systems, stroke ready hospitals, infrastructural weaknesses, and rehabilitation. We present here a protocol to investigate the feasibility and fidelity of implementing a uniform stroke care pathway in medical colleges of India. Methods and Analysis: This is a multicentric, prospective, multiphase, mixed-method, quasi-experimental implementation study intended to examine the changes in a select set of stroke care-related indicators over time within the sites exposed to the same implementation strategy. We shall conduct process evaluation of the implementation process as well as evaluate the effect of the implementation strategy using the interrupted time series design. During implementation phase, education and training about standard stroke care pathway will be provided to all stakeholders of implementing sites. Patient-level outcomes in the form of modified Rankin Scale score will be collected for all consecutive patients throughout the study. Process evaluation outcomes will be collected and reported in the form of various stroke care indicators. We will report level and trend changes in various indicators during the three study phases. Discussion: Acute stroke requires timely detection, management, and secondary prevention. Implementation of the uniform stroke care pathway is a unique opportunity to promote the requirements of homogenous stroke care in medical colleges of India.

BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) virus usually spreads through aerosol and close contact. Frontline health-care workers handle aerosol-generating procedures like endotracheal intubation. To reduce this risk, COVID-19 barrier box came into the picture. However, the COVID-19 barrier box may compromise easy and successful intubation, and their limitation must be studied. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to assess the time to successful intubation with or without the COVID-19 barrier box using the Macintosh laryngoscope and King Vision video laryngoscope (KVVL). We also assessed the first-pass success rate, ease of intubation, Cormack–Lehane (CL) grade, and requirement of external laryngeal manipulation. METHODS: We conducted this manikin-based randomized crossover study to assess the time to successful intubation by anesthesiologists (22) and emergency physicians (11) having 1 year or more experience with or without COVID-19 barrier box by using the Macintosh laryngoscope and KVVL. Our study randomized the sequence of the four different intubation scenarios. RESULTS: The comparison of mean duration of intubation between KVVL (13.21 ± 4.05 s) and Macintosh laryngoscope (12.89 ± 4.28 s) with COVID-19 barrier box was not statistically significant (95% confidence interval: 1.21–0.97). The ease of intubation, number of attempts, and requirement of external laryngeal manipulation were not statistically significant. Intubations were statistically significant more difficult with barrier box in view of higher CL grade. CONCLUSION: Time to intubation was longer with COVID-19 barrier box using KVVL as compared to Macintosh laryngoscope which was statistically not significant.

Context: Trauma is an immediate cause of patients flowing to the emergency department of any hospital. Besides epidemiology, clinical profile and treatment strategy forms an important aspect to reflect the gap in the existing public sector health-care system and the requirement. Aims: To evaluate the clinicoepidemiological profile of trauma patients admitting to an apex trauma hospital in east India. Settings and Design: A prospective observational study was performed during the time period of December 2018 to July 2019 on trauma patients admitted to the Trauma and Emergency department. Methods and Material: Patient's demographic profile, injury type, mechanism, the vehicle involved in the accident, and transportation were recorded. Various trauma scores (clinical) and outcome measures were recorded. Statistical Analysis Used: Statistical analysis was done by R version 3.6.1. Results: Male: female ratio was 407:93 with the 21–30 age group predominantly. 2–6 PM was the most common time of injury and ambulance was the predominant mode of transport (58%). Road traffic injury (RTI) accounted for 75% victims; two-wheelers (68%) dominated over others. Thirty percent (drivers 18%, pillion riders 12%) were wearing helmet; 41% were wearing seat belts (drivers 34%, passenger 12%). Twenty-five percent of drivers consumed alcohol. The median ± Interquartile range of injury severity score (ISS), revised trauma and trauma score and injury severity score were 17 (11–26), 7.8 (4.1–7.8), and 98.41 (95.95–99.30), respectively. Extremity injury (54% fractures) and head injury (50%) were the frontrunners in the pattern of injury, with half of the victims were polytrauma (ISS > 15). Conclusions: The injury was prominently RTI and the trauma victims/patients were young male drivers on two wheelers. The focus should be directed to make use of safety measures among the youth.

Background: Hyperkalaemia in oleander (Nerium oleander) poisoning has been associated with a poor prognosis. Different electrocardiographic (ECG) presentations are possible because of vagotonia and hyperkalaemia. Methods/Results: We report a series of three cases of oleander poisoning in which ECG showed unusual hyperkalaemia features, such as bradyarrhythmia, sinoatrial block, atrioventricular block and junctional rhythm. Conclusions: If arterial blood gas analysis or laboratory values indicate hyperkalaemia in oleander poisoning, the hyperkalaemia should be treated immediately, even if the ECG does not show typical hyperkalaemia features.

Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS), a potentially life threatening condition belongs to acquired cause of Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) group of diseases more often found in children than adults. It presents as familial forms or acquired forms that include infectious aetiologies notably viral, malignancies, drugs and autoimmune diseases. Its association with several systemic autoimmune disease includes commonly systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (sJIA), adult-onset Still's disease and rarely with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis and dermatomyositis. It is a heterogeneous presentation of systemic and laboratory findings characterised by abnormal immune activation and inflammation warrants early diagnosis and prompt treatment. Herein we report a rare case of 15-year-old female who presented with fever of two months duration, who was later diagnosed to be having MAS with SLE. Despite the rarity MAS can be initial presenter in SLE and should be searched in the background of fever and features of SLE. Initiation of treatment with pulse methylprednisolone and follow up with oral hydroxychloroquine, cyclosporine and steroids had a favourable outcome.
