An unusual presentation of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (Ondine's Curse)email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome is a rare illness, which classically presents in the neonatal period; newborns present with shallow breathing and cyanosis, without a physiological rise in breathing rate. Incidence has been estimated from 1 in 10 000 to 1 in 200 000 live births. This case report describes the case of a young man who was asymptomatic until his presentation in acute respiratory failure at the age of 36 years. This case is reported to highlight the importance of considering this treatable illness as a potential cause of collapse and respiratory failure in adults presenting to emergency departm...

We report a case of an 11-year-old girl presenting in acute confusional state, with few historical factors suggestive of an intracranial mass lesion and no objective localising signs on examination. Although initially treated as encephalitis, neuroimaging revealed a large craniopharyngioma with acute hydrocephalus and bilateral frontal lobe compression. She was transferred immediately to the local neurosurgical unit and underwent reservoir drainage of the cystic tumour within 24 h. This resulted in immediate symptomatic resolution. This case highlights the importance of early cerebral imaging in the paediatric patient...

A critical reassessment of ambulance service airway management in prehospital care: Joint Royal Colleges Ambulance Liaison Committee Airway Working Group, June 2008email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
Paramedic tracheal intubation has been practised in the UK for more than 20 years and is currently a core skill for paramedics. Growing evidence suggests that tracheal intubation is not the optimal method of airway management by paramedics and may be detrimental to patient outcomes. There is also evidence that the current initial training of 25 intubations performed in-hospital is inadequate, and that the lack of ongoing intubation practice may compound this further. Supraglottic airway devices (eg, laryngeal mask airway), which were not available when extended training and paramedic intubation was first introduced, a...

Sonographic diagnosis of epiglottal enlargementemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
The case is presented of epiglottal and pre-epiglottal oedema secondary to infection of the pharyngolaryngeal area. The purpose of this report was to assess the utility of ultrasonography to image epiglottal and pre-epiglottal oedema. Bedside emergency department ultrasonography could be a valuable tool to detect pathological enlargement of the epiglottis. Ultrasonography may be used in unstable patients for diagnosing epiglottitis because it is cheap, rapid, non-invasive and does not aggravate the patient's symptoms.

The East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (the Trust) was keen to engage young patients and to encourage them to give feedback about the service they had received. The standard Trust satisfaction survey was modified for use with young patients, and this had the effect of increasing the response rate from this patient group by 8%, and increasing the percentage of young patients aged 5–10 years completing the survey themselves by 29%. The vast majority of parents/guardians were happy for the Trust to survey their child, but the age of the child affected to whom they would like the survey sent. The Trust subs...

Conclusion Patients with traumatic brain injury during the early period accounted for a large proportion of the patients wounded in the Wenchuan earthquake, and their conditions changed quickly. The patients all came from the plain area which has convenient transportation. After admission, providing first-aid early had a significant effect on increasing the success of treatment for these patients. (Source: Emergency Medicine Journal)

Conclusions GPs and consultants in emergency medicine both believe a high proportion of NHS 24 referrals to the ED should be handled by primary care services. This would suggest that, compared with previous out-of-hours practice, NHS 24 favours an ED outcome. The results indicate a large proportion of primary care patients are being handled inappropriately and uneconomically in the ED setting. There is a need for ongoing improvement of the telephone triage service provided by NHS 24. (Source: Emergency Medicine Journal)

Conclusions Serum S100B levels are raised in all patients with acute spinal fracture without head injury. Spinal fracture may therefore be one of the extracerebral sources of S100B. Serum S100B levels may be an effective tool for excluding subtle spinal fractures with no clear radiographic findings. (Source: Emergency Medicine Journal)

Conclusion Episodic drinking is not only a problem in the 16–25 age group, it also concerns men of 35–45 years. This is a major public health problem in industrialised countries.

The implications of the NICE guidelines on neurosurgical management for all severe head injuries: systematic reviewemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions The evidence NICE cited is of variable quality. Much of the research was conducted outside the UK, which raises questions about its relevance to the NHS. Care of traumatic brain injuries in the UK is already hampered by the inadequate capacity of regional neurosurgical units to meet demand, and transferring more patients would be likely to exacerbate this. Increasing the number of transfers could also worsen inequalities of access for other groups, such as elective patients, particularly in areas where facilities are most stretched.
