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.

Recent Trials on Balanced Crystalloid Solutions vs. Conventional Intravenous Fluids

Intravenous (IV) fluids are a cornerstone of modern medicine, used extensively in hospitals for resuscitation, maintenance, and replacement therapy. Normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride) has been the most commonly used IV fluid worldwide for decades. However, recent research has raised concerns about its potential adverse effects, particularly its high chloride content, which can lead to hyperchloremic acidosis and kidney injury. In response, balanced crystalloid solutions, such as lactated Ringer's and Plasma-Lyte, have gained attention as potentially safer alternatives. This article explores the findings of recent trials comparing balanced crystalloids to conventional IV fluids. While widely used the problem with Normal Saline is that it has a chloride concentration significantly higher than that of human plasma. This can disrupt the body's acid-base balance, leading to hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, a condition associated with renal vasoconstriction, reduced glome...

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...
