Dear all

Thank you for participating in the session today.

Random Rapid Review:

• ABCDE … 10 year old following RTA in A&E
• Monitoring for raised Intracranial pressure
  

Video scenario was of a 6- year old with evidence of generalised rash, involvement of mucosa and  progressing to flaccid bullous eruption. Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis – a rare condition but can be fatal hence should know about it.
Have your DD: TENS / SJS / SSS.

Learning points:

• Need to be systematic
• Think on broad lines and use umbrella terms for initial diagnostic evaluation
• Differential is essential to formulate a plan for history and examination questions
• Mindful of time – need to be slick.
• It may seem familiar but still hold true.
• Pay attention to TASK set.
• Do NOT spend your time in not asked for but other equally important
• Mention ABCDE and move to task asked. Else you will not generate any marks.
