Key points: 1. Timing (1:01) Real time = the actual time/real world time, which is 10-20 min. Simulated time = hypothetical time, which can last from hours to days to weeks. 2. What to look for in case's introduction (2:18) Age Gender Allergies Main HPI points Screening (vaccinations, pap smear, colonoscopy, etc) 3. Physical exam (3:45) Complete physical exam --> if patient is stable or in the office Focused physical exam --> if patient is unstable or in the ED; you can always do a complete PE later in the case after putting in emergency orders! 4. Disposition (4:35) Where do you want the patient to be? Options: home, ED, admit to inpatient, admit to ICU. 5. Emergency orders (5:55) MAVOCCF, which stands for: Morphine Acc (gives you IV access and glucose accucheck) Vitals check Oxygen/oximeter Cardiac monitor C-spine Fluids (normal saline) 6. Routine orders (6:51) CCCMP CUAEH LLUSCENT stands for: CBC, CMP, Creatine phosphokinase, Magnesium, Phosphate Chest x-ray/other x-rays, Ultrasounds, Abg, Ecg/other cardiac tests, Hcg Lactate, Lft/pt/ptt/inr, Urinalysis/culture/toxicology, Stool culture/pH/ova/etc, Culture (blood), Esr/crp, Neuro checks, Tsh 7. You should land on a diagnosis by this point and thus, a treament (9:09) 8. Case might finish early if you have managed the patient correctly (9:27) 9. Once the case finishes, you have 2 minutes at the end to put in last minute- orders (10:00). These can be pap smears, colonoscopies, vaccinations, counseling the patient on various topics. SITPM (vaccines) CPM (screening tests) ISSSAD (counseling) Shingles Influenza Tetanus Pneumococcal Meningococcal Colonoscopy (50-75 yrs, every 10 years) Pap smear (21-65 yrs, every 3 years) Mammography (50-75 yrs, every 2 years) Instruct Smoking cessation Safe sex Seatbelt Alcohol abstention Disease specific (diabetes, medication side effects, etc)

Here is a summary of the entire first part of the video (some of this is abbreviated so hopefully it makes sense, but you can watch and read along) CCS Cases
 Things to look for initially (brief skim of H&P) - write these on scratch sheet 1. Age 2. Gender 3. Allergies 4. Brief skim of hx 5. Screening/vaccines/social hx (smoke, drink, drugs, sexual hx) **skimming hx - buzzwords (they don’t want to trick you, dx is sometimes very very obvious) ex: RUQ pain exacerbated by fatty foods - gallstones They want to see if you can put in orders correctly, in correct order, and rule out other scary things (i.e ACS, pancreatitis etc) VS Exam: 1. If pt stable (i.e. in clinic and HDS) - complete physical (especially hitting the things they present with) 2. If pt unstable - not doing complete PE, wastes “simulated” time, need to “act fast” and do a focused PE Disposition - Where do you want the patient to be? 1. Home 2. ED 3. Admit 4. ICU STAT orders - Do you want to place any emergency orders? Mnemonic - MAVOCC + F (not all needed, but reminder of some HY examples) 1. Morphine 2. ACC (gives you IV access and glucose accuchecks) 3. Vitals check 4. Oxygen/oximeter 5. Cardiac monitor 6. C-spine 7. Fluids (NS) Orders (mnemonic) - tailor these tests to your ddx, don’t order all every time for every patient CCCMP CUAEH LLUSCENT 1. CBC 2. CMP 3. Creatine phosphokinase (CPK/CK) 4. Magnesium 5. Phosphate 1. CXR (or any XR) 2. US 3. ABG 4. ECG (other cardiac tests - echo, troponins) 5. B-HCG (repro age like case will end early and you have 2 minutes at the end to put in extra orders **refer back to scratch paper for quick reference for these below 1. Screening tests - i.e. colonoscopy, Pap smear, mammography 2. Vaccines - shingles, tetanus, pneumococcal 3. Counseling patient - i.e. smoking/drinking/drug cessation, medications, compliance, side effects, safe sex (if STI case), seat belt SITPM CPM ISSSAD SITPM Vax - based on case, age, gender etc 1. Shingles - zoster max - >50 yo, 2 dose series, now then in 2-6 mo 2. Influenza/COVID - fall/winter season (RSV >60 yo) 3. Tetanus - q10years 4. Pneumococcal >65 (or susceptible to encapsulated organisms) 5. Meningococcal - 2-dose at 11-12 yo and 16 yo CPM Screening 1. Colonoscopy - 45-75 yo (q10years if no abn) 2. Pap smear - (21-29 yo) q3yr w/ cervical cyto alone - (30-65) q3yr w/ cervical cyto alone, q5yr w/ high-risk HPV testing alone, or q5yr w/ hrHPV w/ cyto (co-testing) - Chlamydia/gonorrhea - all sexually active women 25 yo at increased risk for infection 3. Mammography - 50-74 yo - biennial screening ISSSAD Instructing patient - when you type “instruct” into order search, gives you lots of options 1. Instruct 2. Smoking 3. Safe sex 4. Seatbelt 5. Alcohol abstention 6. Disease specific instructions

Hello doctor, quick question.. if the patient is unstable, do you put in the emergency orders first then assess the patient or do you assess first then put in the orders?
@Khalemedic
@Khalemedic 2 жыл бұрын
I usually first do a focused physical examination. This does not mean that my approach is necessarily correct because no one is sure how the CCS cases are scored. I personally preferred this and felt more comfortable about my performance with this approach.

This is important question of priority when it comes to emergency situation. It depend on the emergency case. If the patient is SOB and Hypoxemic then you should put them on O2 first then do your focused physical exam. If the patient has low blood pressure you should put IV access and start fluid then do your focused physical exam. If the patient has Seizure you should put IV access and give Ativan, O2 and check Glucometer then do focused physical exam.

I think you’re referring to when you click on the clock and run the time forward. If this is what you mean, I usually click “next available result” because it saves me time from typing exactly how far ahead I want to go. On refers to a certain time you want to go forward to; for example, if it’s 10:15 and you want to skip to 10:45. You would just write “10:45”. In refers to how much you want to skip ahead, using the same example, to skip ahead 30 minutes, you would write “30”. I don’t like to use these because you have to check exactly how far you want to skip ahead and to check you have to click around a lot which will cost you some time (especially with input delay).

I noticed you keep choosing Intravenous. Is that better than choosing orals in the exams
@Khalemedic
@Khalemedic 2 жыл бұрын
It just depends on the case. In both of these cases, oral medications are not really going to act as quick as IV medications. In other cases where they’ll likely be sent home (e.g. patient with GERD without red flags), oral meds (e.g omeprazole) could be given. Generally, one route is not better than the other. You instead must tailor your answer based on the knowledge you learned from medical school and studying for the STEP exams. I hope this answered your question. Best of luck!

@@niveditasingh6333 if you mean “is it required to apply for residency?” Then the answer is no, you don’t need to complete it. Most people complete the step 3 during their first year of residency but some choose to take it before then for various reasons.
