    Abstract Orbital apex fractures are a debilitating condition that can cause vision problems and are often associated with intracranial injury. Traumatic Optic Neuropathy (TON), which results in vision loss following a traumatic injury to the optic nerve, can be caused by various mechanisms, but most cases involve injuries to the globe, orbit, or adnexa. We are reporting a case of an 18 year old male with a history of an air gun being accidentally discharged into his left eye. He was evaluated and found to have an Orbital apex fracture with left eye TON. Patient was administered high dose steroids. Detailed evaluation by Ophthalmology revealed a left eye traumatic stage I macular hole which was conservatively treated with visual improvement reported during patient follow up.

    Abstract Carotidynia is a rare presentation of atypical neck and face pain, which is due to inflammation around the carotid artery. Symptoms can get aggravated by head and neck movements, jaw movements and deglutition. It is usually a self- limiting illness, and it is treated conservatively with analgesics. Because of it is rarity, and partly due to physician's lack of understanding, it remains underdiagnosed. Our case report aims to shed light on the importance of how its diagnosis cannot be missed.

    Abstract As the COVID-19 outbreak continues, there is a dire need to organise and allocate resources while optimising costs and time: identification of patients should be rapid and economical. With the current spectrum of clinical presentations of patients with COVID-19, it is important to be thorough while determining symptoms involving the various organ systems including possible contact history. Point-of-care (POC) lung ultrasound has already proven to be a reliable tool in diagnosing lung inflammatory processes: the results are immediate and the examination is safe, repeatable, and cheap. Early use of POC lung ultrasound could prove invaluable in COVID-19 patients, leading to early correct diagnoses and appropriate management. The author suggests a tool that incorporates various aspects in clinical history, POC lung ultrasound findings and hemodynamic parameters for identification and management of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Key Words: COVID-19, Sars CoV-2, Emergency department, Screening, Point-of-care, Lung ultrasound.

    Abstract Chlorine is an irritant gas, which is implicated in inhalational exposures and can affect the respiratory system leading to complications. We report a case of a 38-year man who presented in the Emergency Department (ED) after exposure to chlorine gas due to an industrial accident. During the course of ED stay, he developed gradual difficulty in breathing, which on investigation, was found to be related to the complication of pneumomediastinum. The patient required endotracheal intubation, but was difficult to ventilate. Bilateral chest tube insertion was performed, which led to the resolution of the pneumothoraces. The emergency physicians should be aware of such a case so that they can intervene. Key Words: Chlorine, Emergency, Pneumomediastinum, Toxicity.

    Abstract In wake of the current COVID-19 pandemic, which has taken the world by storm, it is imperative to protect the health and safety of physicians and staff involved in acute management of COVID-19 patients. Numerous studies have been published, establishing evidence and opinion-based guides for emergency physicians, who are at the front line. Although many have established pathways for dealing with patient screening, testing, prognosis and disposition, I would like to discuss the management of the crashing patients in need of ventilation who we ought to be prepared for the most.

    Abstract Respiratory emergencies are common and can require intensive management with complex medical equipment. Experiences from global pandemics such as Coronavirus disease-2019 have shown collapse of healthcare infrastructure and spikes in mortality because of shortage of critical equipment, such as mechanical ventilators, especially in under resourced settings. In this article, we present a brief review of medical literature regarding established and readily available blueprints for ventilator systems. We also present our design relevant to under resourced areas called the ResQvent, which is a portable artificial manual breathing unit add-on device that can be automated to allow cyclical compression of the bag to provide adequate ventilation according to standard recommendations for infants, children and adults. Powered by 220-240 V electrical supply, this 18x8x8 inches, extremely portable device can prove to be a game changer in providing temporary automated ventilation at a reasonable cost. ResQvent has been successfully bench tested for accuracy on simulation software. With the continued motivation arising from the pandemic, we assume similar projects will attract attention; however, efforts are still required to design policies and arrange dependable financial resources for the creation and evaluation of open-source ventilators.
