Classically, the bulbar musculature is affected before somatic muscular, which results in the typical presentation of \"descending paralysis.\"2,5 While confirmatory testing is important, it is often delayed by more than 24 hours, making both clinical recognition and implementation of treatment before confirmatory testing of vital importance.6,7 Treatment consists of providing airway, nutritional, and hydration support in addition to administering botulinum-specific antitoxin.8,9 While patients over the age of 12 months are treated with equine botulinum antitoxin, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a human-derived immunoglobulin treatment, Botulism Immune Globulin Intravenous (BIG-IV, ie, \"Baby BIG\") for pediatric patients less than 12 months of age.1,2,6 Ordering BIG-IV is a complex and multidisciplinary process, requiring the treating physician to discuss any suspicious case with the Infant Botulism Treatment and Prevention Program (IBTPP) which is a branch of the California Department of Public Health.6 With early recognition and implementation of treatment, most infants will make a full recovery.</p><p><strong>Educational objectives: </strong>At the end of this oral board session, examinees will: 1) demonstrate an ability to obtain a complete pediatric medical history, 2) perform an appropriate physical exam on a pediatric patient, 3) investigate a broad differential diagnosis for neuromuscular weakness in a pediatric patient, 4) recognize the classic presentation of infant botulism and implement treatment with botulinum specific antitoxin before confirmatory testing, 5) recognize impending airway failure and intubate the pediatric patient with appropriately dosed medications and ET tube size, and 6) demonstrate effective communication with healthcare team members and parents.</p><p><strong>Educational methods: </strong>This oral board case followed the standard American Board of Emergency Medicine-style case in a tertiary care hospital with access to all specialists and resources needed.

It is the third leading cause of unintentional injury-related deaths worldwide, accounting for 7% of all injury-related deaths.1 Our group sought to improve resident education regarding the basics of water safety and rescues as an event developed by our wilderness medicine (WM) interest group. With the growing number of WM Fellowships, specialty tracks, interest clubs and the regular inclusion of WM topics in residency didactics, exposure to WM topics has increased greatly.2 There is a large overlap between wilderness medicine and the field of emergency medicine. Both require stabilization, improvisation, and the treatment of environmental/exposure illnesses. It is imperative that emergency medicine physicians understand the complex pathophysiology of drowning, as well as recognize and manage potential associated traumatic injuries including fractures and critical hemorrhage.

In 2016, it was the 7th leading risk factor for deaths and disability-adjusted life years globally.1 Among heavy alcohol users admitted for hospital management, the incidence of alcohol withdrawal syndrome is estimated to be 1.9 to 6.7%.1 Alcohol withdrawal (AW) in the ED has been associated with increased use of critical care resources, and frequent ED visits for alcohol-related presentations have been associated with mortality rates that are about 1-4% when withdrawal progresses to delirium tremens (DTs).1 Patients with alcohol withdrawal can present in many different ways to the ED including anxiety, tachycardia, delirium tremens (DTs), seizures and severe autonomic dysfunction leading to severe sickness and death.2 Therefore, it is extremely important for an EM physician to recognize the signs of AW in patients and to manage the critically ill patients. In addition, Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment (CIWA) of alcohol was developed to assess severity of alcohol withdrawal in 1989.3 EM physicians should utilize CIWA to help determine the severity of AW.</p><p><strong>Educational objectives: </strong>By the end of the session, learner will be able to 1) discuss the causes of altered mental status, 2) utilize CIWA scoring system to quantify AW severity, 3) formulate appropriate treatment plan for AW by treating with benzodiazepine and escalating treatment appropriately, 4) treat electrolyte abnormalities by giving appropriate medications for hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia, and 5) discuss clinical progression and timing to AW.</p><p><strong>Educational methods: </strong>This session was conducted using high-fidelity simulation, which was immediately followed by an in-depth debriefing session. The session was run during first year EM resident intern orientation, and it was run during two consecutive years. There was a total of 32 EM residents who participated. There was a total of 16 residents who actively managed the patient while the other 16 were observers. Each session had four learners and was run twice in two separate rooms.

More than 1 million patients are admitted annually with a diagnosis of pulmonary edema secondary to cardiac causes.1 Pulmonary edema is broadly split into two main categories: cardiogenic and noncardiogenic. Cardiogenic pulmonary edema is characterized by acute dyspnea caused by the accumulation of fluid within the lung's interstitial and/or alveolar spaces, which is the result of acutely elevated cardiac filling pressures.2 Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema is characterized by fluid accumulation within the alveolar space in the absence of elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure.2 These patients often present critically ill, and rapid identification and aggressive management is paramount in caring for patients with pulmonary edema. Dyspnea is the most common presentation with a sensitivity of 89% but a low specificity of 51%.3 Workup of pulmonary edema often includes laboratory testing, electrocardiogram (EKG), chest x-ray (CXR), and often bedside ultrasound (US) and echocardiography.4 Pulmonary edema management depends on the etiology but is often focused on preload and afterload reduction.

A basic pelvic exam simulator costs $365.4 The cost is high, therefore limiting the availability of a simulation model accessible to residency programs across the country. This barrier to pelvic models was overcome by developing a homemade alternative for cervical examination and collection of screening swabs. The model created can be easily manufactured by students, residents, and faculty alike for less than $20 and approximately two hours of manufacturing time. A literature review was conducted to find similar products and other production methods for a pelvic examination model.
