Various Methods of Shoulder Joint Reduction

 


Shoulder joint dislocation can be reduced by a lot of explained maneuvers. Its better to learn them through some good videos from open source (YouTube and Vimeo) rather than memorizing 


The various maneuvers for the reduction of a Dislocated Shoulder Joint are

    1. Kochers Maneuver
    2. FARES (Fast Reliable and Safe Technique)
    3. Hennepin Technique (External Rotation Technique)
    4. Milch Technique
    5. Stimsons Technique (Gravitational Weight)
    6. Hippodratic and Modified Hippocratic Technique
    7. Cunningham Technique


Kochers Maneuver

Adduction-ExtRotation-Flexion-Internal Rotation

The process must be very slow and its better to give some muscle relaxant and analgesic prior to the procedure.

FARES (FAst, REliable and Safe Technique)

Small occilating movements while in extension and external rotation. Gradually this is increased until the humeral head popps in the glenoid cavity.

ECPR- Basic Concepts

Extra-Corporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) Introduction: What is ECPR? Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) is an advanced resuscitative technique that utilizes extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to provide circulatory and respiratory support in patients experiencing refractory cardiac arrest. Unlike conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which relies on chest compressions and ventilation, ECPR involves the rapid establishment of veno-arterial ECMO to maintain perfusion to vital organs while treating the underlying cause of cardiac arrest. ECPR is primarily used in specialized centers with well-trained personnel and appropriate infrastructure, making it a resource-intensive intervention. Background and History of ECPR The concept of extracorporeal circulation has been evolving since the early 1950s, with Dr. John Gibbon’s development of the first successful heart-lung machine. In the 1970s, the use of ECMO for neonates with respiratory failur...

Febrile Neutropenia: Succinct Guide

Febrile Neutropenia Definition Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a medical emergency characterized by the development of fever in a patient with significant neutropenia. It is commonly seen in immunocompromised individuals, particularly those undergoing chemotherapy for malignancies. Diagnostic Criteria Febrile neutropenia is defined by the following criteria: Fever : A single oral temperature ≥ 38.3°C (101°F) or a sustained temperature ≥ 38.0°C (100.4°F) for more than 1 hour. Neutropenia : An absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 500 cells/μL, or expected to fall below 500 cells/μL within 48 hours. Etiology and Major Causes The primary cause of febrile neutropenia is chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression. Other causes include: Hematological malignancies (e.g., leukemia, lymphoma, myelodysplastic syndromes) Bone marrow suppression due to radiation therapy Aplastic anemia and other bone marrow disorders Infections : Bacterial (Gram-negative and Gram-positive), fungal, and viral infections Dru...
