Great job solving the case MTSC!
The curious case of Patient E 👽 🔍 A recent training exercise at Orthopaedic Associates of Michigan took on an extraterrestrial twist. Staff members were tasked with solving the "Mysterious Case of Patient E," an inflatable green alien who had experienced a malignant hyperthermia (MH) crisis in a simulated operating room. The scenario, complete with a dimly lit room, eerie music, and scattered medical supplies, created a tense and immersive environment. Participants were divided into teams and tasked with identifying the warning signs of MH, following the emergency protocol, and ultimately saving Patient E's life. The teams quickly realized that Patient E was exhibiting classic signs of MH, including a rapid rise in temperature, increased ETCO2, and muscle rigidity. They immediately initiated the emergency protocol, which involved: • Discontinuing the triggering anesthetic agent: The team identified sevoflurane as the likely trigger and immediately discontinued its administration. • Administering dantrolene: The staff worked together to prepare and administer dantrolene, a muscle relaxant that can help reverse the hypermetabolic state associated with MH. • Cooling measures: The team implemented cooling measures, such as applying ice packs to the patient's body and using a cooling blanket, to help reduce the patient's temperature. • Monitoring vital signs: The team closely monitored Patient E's vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation, to assess their response to treatment. Despite their best efforts, Patient E's condition continued to deteriorate, and they ultimately succumbed to the effects of MH. While the outcome was tragic, the training exercise provided valuable insights into managing MH crises and the importance of a coordinated team approach. The staff members learned firsthand the importance of early recognition of MH symptoms, rapid implementation of the emergency protocol, and effective communication among team members. They also gained experience in administering dantrolene and managing the patient's temperature during a crisis. Overall, the training exercise was a valuable experience that has equipped the staff with the knowledge and skills necessary to respond effectively to MH crises in the future.

Reflecting on an unforgettable experience at MiCareerQuest 2024! On March 27th, we had the incredible opportunity to be a part of the inaugural MiCareerQuest, an event that brought together over 8,000 students from West Michigan to explore diverse career possibilities under one roof. It was a whirlwind day, but the rewards were immense! At OAM Surgery Center at MidTowne, we were thrilled to join in and shed light on the myriad of career opportunities available in the Ambulatory Surgery Center setting. We understand that choosing a career path can be daunting, and events like MiCareerQuest provide invaluable exposure to the array of possibilities awaiting these young adults in the future. One of our most engaging activities involved letting students spin the wheel. When it landed on an injury, we provided hands-on experience in fixing said injury—an interactive way to showcase the exciting world of healthcare. We also had a fun race to see who could get the rubber gloves on the fastest, adding a bit of friendly competition to the day. Participating in MiCareerQuest was not just about showcasing our industry; it was about planting seeds in the minds of our future workforce. We're already looking forward to future opportunities to participate and continue nurturing the talents of tomorrow. #MiCareerQuest #AmbulatorySurgeryCenter #FutureWorkforce #CareerExploration #HandsOnExperience #Engagement

My management professor, Dawn Brackmann, assigned my group a project where we had to find an organization to tour. We also had to ask a couple of questions about the organization and how it is managed. We were lucky enough to spend yesterday afternoon with Lisa Pearson from Orthopaedic Associates of Michigan. We had a great visit and learned so much about OAM and how Lisa performs her job as Chief Operating Officer. Thank you Lisa Pearson and Orthopaedic Associates of Michigan for this valuable opportunity. Pictured below are Lisa Pearson, Terrill Tucker, Elise Borngesser, Leola Richard, myself, and Jonah DeNuccio-McShane.
