Induction to EM. An approach to headache in the ED. St.Emlyn’s
We've all had headaches, but not often severe enough to prompt us to seek help in an Emergency Department.
In
our practice 10% of patients who do present to the ED with a primary
presentation of headache will have serious pathology and our job as
Emergency Physicians is to work out who these are. Key to this is
actively ruling out the life-threatening and life-changing diagnoses:
Further Resources
- Subarachnoid Haemorrhage
- Meningitis
- Tumours and Space Occupying Lesions
- Temporal Arteritis
Listen to Simon and Iain discuss how to approach these patients here
Further Resources
Headaches at Life in the Fast Lane - a great summary from the LiTFL crew
NICE Guidelines (NCG150) - diagnosis and management of headaches; there's a flowchart and some red flags although you could read the St Emlyn's summary here!
