Effective Consultation in Emergency Medicine
"EMRA, CDEM, and CORD are excited to announce the release of a new educational video entitled "Effective Consultation in Emergency Medicine." This video joins earlier productions on patient presentations and transitions of care to provide learners in emergency medicine with instruction on optimizing different forms of communication that take place in the emergency department. Effective consultation reinforces the importance of structured communication and shares the 5Cs of Consultation as a validated model. Illustrative examples are provided for both medical students and residents. Enjoy the show!"

Patient Presentations in Emergency Medicine
EMRA and CDEM launched "Patient Presentations in Emergency Medicine," a training video for medical students. Demonstrating how to tell a compelling story when presenting a patient's case, this brief video offers hand do's and don'ts on how to communicate efficiently and effectively in the ED. EMRA Education Committee members Michael Yip, MD, of Yale School of Medicine, and Aditi Mitra, MD, of William Beaumont - both of whom appear in the film - said the project grew from a simple discussion about how best to serve students.
Improving transitions of care – also called patient handoffs – is a national patient safety priority as communication failures are a leading cause of medical error. Different models have been developed to promote the accurate transfer of patient care information. In a multi-institutional study, a handoff program using the “I-PASS” mnemonic as a structured-communication tool was found to reduce medical errors and preventable adverse events in the inpatient pediatric setting. This video provides an overview of effective transitions of care within the emergency department and features the I-PASS mnemonic.

Kidney Chronicles: A Pediatric Blunt Renal Trauma Case Report
Unintentional injury is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric age group, with urogenital injury occurring in 10-20% of blunt abdominal trauma cases.1,2 Depending on the severity, short-term complications of renal trauma include hemorrhage, sepsis, perinephric abscess, fistula, and urinary extravasation, and long-term consequences include renal failure and unrelenting hypertension.3 Patient management can be intimidating, requiring coordination among urologists, interventional radiologists, trauma surgeons, and intensivists. With emergency physicians often serving as mediators, it is imperative to familiarize oneself with evidence-based guidelines, and we hope to help provide some tools in this article.

Aortic Occlusion: A Rare Presentation of Back Pain
Back pain is a common chief complaint in the emergency department. However, not all back pain is simple lumbago, and as emergency physicians, it is crucial to be aware of more insidious causes of back pain and to be able to recognize red flag characteristics that, if overlooked, can lead to dire consequences. Our case illustrates the importance of always having a wide differential. In this case, the patient’s lower back pain was a result of complete aortic occlusion extending into both lower extremities.
