Shine a light in Harold’s eyes, and his pupils constrict. He breathes, blinks and even sweats, just like the rest of us. One striking difference: Harold is made of plastic.

Shift change can be a dangerous time for emergency department patients. This is especially true for pediatric patients in busy EDs. Now, there is evidence that a new approach using “waterfall” shifts can improve the flow of patients through a pediatric ED. Officials at Seattle Children’s Hospital created overlapping shifts for ED physicians five years ago, and it dramatically reduced patient hand-offs.

Technological advances are by definition supposed to advance that portion of an industry they exist to serve. To make things easier, more intuitive, less burdensome. But all too often, it seems, just the opposite is true. Healthcare providers know all about the hurdles associated with electronic health records. The cumbersome system — one that should be designed to streamline the information-gathering process — is broken, in the opinion of many American healthcare providers.

In the event of a medical emergency or accident, it’s important to know how to handle it. This was true for Terry Penner and other employees with the Seymour Bank in Missouri during a bank-sponsored event in October after a man attending the event became ill. While no cardiopulmonary resuscitation was needed that night, several people stepped up and took control of the medical situation, thanks to the skills they learned from the Webster County Health Unit’s CPR training class.

Stan was having a bad day.
He was wheezing and mumbling.
“My chest is tight,” he said, his voice full of tension.
He’s had plenty of other troubles, too, in recent years. Bloody wounds, a blood clot after surgery. He’s been shocked with defibrillators more times that you could count. But it’s OK — it’s what Stan was built for.

Emergency Action and Fire Prevention Plans establish frameworks for responding to workplace emergencies. But without training, employees cannot be expected to know what is written in those plans, which hazards they could face or how to respond to emergency situations. In an emergency, it can be hard to predict how employees will react. Training helps to increase predictability by giving employees the information that they need to make better decisions and react to emergencies faster.

For many patients, the idea of undergoing an MRI and spending an extended period in an enclosed, narrow space is the stuff of nightmares. The noninvasive procedure is, however, an extremely useful tool to detect, diagnose and monitor many diseases. Yet patient anxiety is a real hurdle. Some patients require sedation to remain still during the scanning — nervous fidgeting often blurs the images.

A new piece of legislation proposes Arkansas high school students to undergo bleeding-control training before graduation. The Stop the Bleed initiative was introduced to Arkansas law enforcement in 2013. Fire academy personnel received training in the years following.
