    Comparison of the efficacy of ShotBlocker and cold spray in reducing intramuscular injection-related pain in adults A prospective, randomized, controlled trial

    Objectives: To compare the efficacy of ShotBlocker and cold spray in reducing intramuscular (IM) injection-related pain in adults. Methos: A prospective, randomized, controlled study carried out between January 2018 and March 2018 at the Department of Emergency Medicine, Acibadem Mehmet Ali Aydinlar University, School of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkey. Adult patients receiving IM injection of diclofenac sodium (75 mg/3 ml) were included. The patients were randomized into 3 groups: ShotBlocker, cold spray, and control. Each group comprised 40 patients. Patients were instructed to rate the intensity of IM injection-related pain using a 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS). Visual analog scale scores of the patients were statistically analyzed. Results: Visual analog scale scores were lower in the ShotBlocker (11 mm) and cold spray (10 mm) groups than in the control group (31 mm) (p=0.001). There were no significant differences in VAS scores between the ShotBlocker and cold spray groups. The operators' responses revealed that ShotBlocker was more difficult to administer than cold spray. Conclusion: ShotBlocker is an effective nonpharmacological method that reduces IM injectionrelated pain and is similar in efficacy, to cold spray.

    Importance of Clinical Suspicion in Rapid Diagnostic Test Negativity in Malaria: Two Case Reports
    (EMERGENCY MEDICINE PHYSICIANS ASSOC TURKEY, 2020-01-01) Gun, Cem; Aldinc, Hasan; Yaylaci, Serpil; Ustun, Cemal; Barbur, Erol
    Introduction: Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by infection with Plasmodium parasites. Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have been used for the diagnosis of malaria without special equipment by unskilled personnel over the last 15 years. The treatment should only be given after the clinical diagnosis confirmed by RDT or microscopy. RDTs' specificity and sensitivity have been reported as >95\% by the World Health Organization - Foundation for Initiative New Diagnostics (WHO-FIND). Case report: A 30-years-old male and a 23-years-old female presented to our emergency department with fever and history of a visit to a malaria-endemic country. Plasmodium trophozoites were seen in the blood smear samples via light microscopy. However, RDTs were negative. The patients were treated according to their pathogens. Conclusion: Rarely, RDT might result in a false negative in the diagnosis of malaria. People travelling to endemic areas should be closely monitored. Emergency department physicians should not neglect microscopy which is the gold standard for diagnosis of malaria.

    The immediate effect of deliberate practice and real-time feedback on high-quality CPR training in intern doctors, acute care providers, and lay rescuers
    (MRE PRESS, 2022-01-01) Yaylaci, Serpil; Kayayurt, Kamil; Aldinc, Hasan; Gun, Cem; Sekuri, Alphan
    The quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the main determinant of survival in cardiac arrest, so high-quality CPR (HQ-CPR) from bystanders is essential. The best instructional model for HQ-CPR performed by bystanders remains under investigation, and an instructional model's effect on various learner types is unknown. This study examined the immediate effect of a brief, blended instructional design that combines deliberate practice (DP) with real-time feedback (RTF) on the booster training of intern doctors (IDs) and acute care providers (ACPs) as well as on the skills acquisition training of lay rescuers (LRs). This cohort crossover study was conducted in a university-affiliated hospital in January 2020. Just-in-time training on HQ-CPR that featured a popular song was provided to IDs (n = 24), ACPs (n = 29), LRs (n = 25)
