About:

A number of ENT emergencies such as epistaxis, nasal fractures, swallowed foreign bodies, stridor, obstructed airway from trauma, Quincy, retropharyngeal abscess, auricular haematomas, mastoditis, parotitis and periorbital cellulitis present to the A&E Department. Likewise, junior doctors will be required to assess and manage ENT conditions during their on-calls in patients who have already been admitted to hospital, either under the care of ENT or other specialities. This includes patients who have airway obstruction or bleeding post-thyroidectomy and post-tracheostomy, as well as those who have had head and neck reconstruction and neck dissection for cancers. Without prior exposure to ENT, the management of some, if not all, of these conditions can be daunting.

This practice-focused lecture which provides a framework for the diagnosis, assessment and management of common ENT emergencies is delivered by Miss Daniela Bondin, who is a Consultant ENT Surgeon at the Tameside and Glossop Hospital in Greater Manchester and Surgical Lecturer and Tutor at Doctors Academy. She has vast experience of teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
