Thrive at Eastern Health

Iron-deficiency anaemia is one of the most encountered comorbidities in  hospital. Optimising iron levels can not only have positive impact on acute illness, but also improve quality of life for patients. However, interpretation of iron studies and management of iron deficiency anaemia can often be challenging for junior doctors.

Why does that patient keep bouncing back with the same presentation? What do you do when you're managing something you've never seen before? Do you have an approach to hypoxia in the intubated patient? What are the critical bedside investigations available for airway emergencies?

Children are usually quite robust - but when they are really unwell it is critical to understand how to manage their care. Their different physiology and anatomy informs a modified approach to the resuscitation algorithm with different priorities and processes than adult ALS.

Confidence in the provision of adult ALS is a critical component of good patient care. Actually providing ALS however can be confronting. The algorithms and protocols by themselves do little to answer to the dynamic resuscitation environment. This is the second of a two part masterclass giving a practical, detailed breakdown of what a HMO actually needs to understand and do in order to transform that algorithm into life-saving care.

ECGs are often taught by rote learning and pattern recognition. A little extra attention to some basic anatomy and electrophysiology however will have your patients' ECGs whispering all their cardiac secrets to you. In this series we will work systematically through the ECG, building new insight and a solid, practical approach to ECG decoding. This episode explains what the cardiac axis is, why it matters, what makes it abnormal, and how to measure it.

The febrile child is an incredibly common presentation whether in GP or ED. The vast majority of these are well children who can safely be discharged home, yet amongst this group there are some serious and even life-threatening illnesses to identify. To up the complexity we are assessing neonates to near- adults, and all with a worried parent to boot. 

Dr Emma Ku is joined by Dr Rebecca Taylor, one of our Paediatricians at Eastern Health as we avoid the pitfalls and identify the pearls in managing paediatric fever. Rebecca is a general paediatrician with special interests in the management of the deteriorating patient, simulation, system governance and workforce wellbeing.
