Urgencias (ENARM)

by Julianna Jung, MD, FACEP, Sharon Bord, MD

La medicina de emergencia, también conocida como emergenciología o urgenciología, es una especialidad que se centra en el estudio, diagnóstico y manejo de enfermedades o lesiones agudas e imprevistas que comprometen la vida del paciente dentro de las siguientes 24 horas después de su debut. Su principal campo de juego es la sala de emergencias, o sala de urgencias, que es muchas veces el nodo central de la institución de salud a la que pertenece. Las emergencias médicas involucran a todos los sistemas y especialidades médicas. Durante un turno nocturno normal, el médico a cargo de urgencias puede enfrentarse en cuestión de horas a casos de infarto agudo del miocardio, lesiones traumáticas en el cerebro, cólicos biliares, cólicos renales, apendicitis, fracturas, cetoacidosis diabética, intoxicaciones grave e intentos de suicidio, por nombrar algunos.

Para una comprensión óptima, el estudiante de medicina debe estar familiarizado con la fisiología cardiovascular, respiratoria, gastrointestinal y neurológica; los mecanismos de anafilaxia y termorregulación; los conceptos básicos del equilibrio ácido-base y electrolitos; y los fundamentos de la imagen ecográfica. También deben saber cómo leer un electrocardiograma (ECG), y se fomenta el conocimiento de sustancias de abuso comúnmente utilizadas.

Esta especialidad puede parecer intimidante al principio, pero las condiciones emergentes pueden identificarse muy rápidamente en función de hallazgos clave. Un médico competente debe estar al tanto de las emergencias más comunes en su área de trabajo y de las vías adecuadas de atención en el entorno de atención médica en el que se encuentran. Una de las grandes fortalezas del médico entrenado en urgencias es la capacidad de identificar el problema principal del paciente con agilidad y garantizar el acceso con prontitud al manejo definitivo por la especialidad competente.

loved
By Juliana R. on 07. June 2024 for Sepsis and Septic Shock: Pathophysiology & Clinical Definition

I thoroughly enjoy her lectures because she exudes a great deal of energy and articulates complex concepts in a straightforward manner, making it effortless for me to grasp and engage with the material. I am truly grateful for her approach.

 
Great course
By Carlos Magana . on 19. May 2024 for Aortic Dissection: Surgical Alternatives & Care Pathway

The lecture is wonderful. I feel completely confident to treat a patient with this diagnosis in the hospital now. It would be great to include the needed doses of the medications, though.

 
NOPE
By Laura . on 15. October 2023 for Sepsis and Septic Shock: Pathophysiology & Clinical Definition

Not a good educator and lecture presenter. A lot going on that is boring and nonstimulating. Easy to get lost, tune out, and loose focus. Not engaging.

 
Best online learning platform.

I believe the Lecturio is the best online learning platform. Instructors are very professional, knowledgeable and with a lot experience. I will recommend Lecturio to my friends.
