Are you a new MO? Do you know that you need to collect a minimum of 20 CPD points for APC renewal for subsequent years? Don't worry! The process is quite easy.

To start collecting CPD points for APC renewal, you may follow the steps in this guide.

All the best 😊

Notes: Those who get full MMC number this year will be exempted from CPD point requirement for APC application year 2023 & 2024 . However, they have to start collecting CPD point starting 1st July 2023 - 30th June 2024 for APC year 2025 application.

✅Attend patient STAT.
✅ to look for DDX/life threatening condition. E.g. ACS, PE, pneumothorax, aortic dissection, acute HF, cardiac arrest

✅ assess the patient's well-being and look at the vital signs to ensure whether the patient is stable or not, conscious or not. Vital signs (BP, PR, RR, T, pain score)

In concious patient:
✅ proceed asking further history (SOCRATES) about the chest pain. And apply ECG.

Socrates:
Site: central, retrosternal pain

Onset: sudden or progressive. Any previous episode of chest pain?

Character: pressing, squeezing, heaviness, tearing pain

Radiation: to the left arm, jaws

Associated sx: profuse sweating, palpitation, NnV, dyspnoea, syncope, calf pain

Time

Exacerbating/releaving factors: exertional pain, worsen upon lying/respiration. Relieved by leaning forward, rest

Score: pain score


✅ quick physical examination
🫀 cardiovascular examination
-CABG scar, implantable defibrillator
- auscultation: murmur, gallop rhythm
- look for signs of HF

🫁 lung examination
- breath sounds ( absent/reduced: pneumothorax), additional lung sounds ( crep, rhonchi)

Abdomen: AAA

✅ IX
📌 ECG stat ( identify STEMI, any cardiac causes)
📌 take cardiac biomarkers (troponin, CKMB) if suggestive of ACS
📌 order CXR if we suspect lung causes

✅Mx
📌secure ABC
AIRWAY & BREATHING: give O2 supplimentation if spo2 <95%
CIRCULATION : blood ix as above and trace. Must have IV access.

📌 Medications:
- if STEMI s/l GTN 0.5mg STAT, if pain not resolve repeat up to 3x. Can give if SBP >90mmHg, inferior MI and aortic dissection have been excluded. Aspirin and clopidogrel STAT.
- if fluid overload ( sign and sx of congested) give frusemide

If pneumothorax, call for help. Ready with equipment. If tension pneumothorax( needle thoracocentesis - temporary measure, chest tube-definitive)


However, I need to call MO and discuss mx before executing the plans.

If unconscious pt:
- check pulse and breathing if absent call for help and start ACLS.
-Identify either it is a shockable rhythm or unshockable rhythm
-if shockable ( VF/pVT)
- non shockable (asystole/PEA)

Shockable rhythm ▶️ give shock ▶️ CPR 2 min (+ IV access) ▶️ still shockable rhythm give shock ▶️ CPR 2 min, epinephrine every alternate cycle ▶️ still shockable rhythm, give shock ▶️ CPR 2 min, amiodarone, treat reversible cause

Non shockable rhythm ▶️ CPR 2 min, epinephrine every alternate cycle ▶️ still non shockable rhythm, CPR 2 min. If shockable ▶️ follow shockable rhythm algorithm

#Department mana bagus utk 1st poster HO? 🤔

#wiseseniorHOadvise

#Tagging usually for the first posting is 14 days (2 out of the 14 days is your offday),

but it will vary with manpower required and if the superiors find us safe and independent to #offtag, it will be earlier.


Tips to #survive tagging,

👉🏻 always volunteer to do something (with supervision is even better) to learn faster like admission clerking, discharge, blood taking, branula, referrals, imaging requests, procedures etc


👉🏻 ask if you are not sure/dont know,


👉🏻 bring smol snacks if it helps and please drink some water from the pantry of each ward, ada cuckoo/coway usually, pls do grab a cup and have a drink at least🙏,


👉🏻 try to learn to #prioritise which is urgent and stat. For Muslims, work in a way that we will always try to be able to solat on time regardless of the workload.


Usually, first posting tagging, tak rasa sangat, cause banyak nak belajar, tgk2 dah habis dah the tagging 😂, 2nd posting onwards, duration will vary with different posting.


Division will be done by the team leader (TL) of the posting. Each posting will have different ways of working, for further details boleh tanya your TL when you know your posting nanti.


All the best 😊

Satu HO jaga berapa patients? 👨‍⚕️

#wiseseniorHOadvise

Tips utk senang / kenal case 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

- jaga same cubicle for 1 week or more ( jgn tukar cubicle daily)
- so bila dh jaga same cubicle for one week or more, usually first day je akn bit difficult sbb nk faham kan semua case dkt cubicle tu kan.
- tp usually by next day tu dh bole tau case ape, so bila round dgn pakar bole trus bgtau progress patient.
