![HOW TO REMOVE A RING STUCK ON A FINGER!
Hi everyone, this week I have a slightly different video for you all. As a part of my away rotation project, I am making a video to contribute to the growing community of FOAM. FOAM stands for FREE OPEN ACCESS MEDUCATION (OR MEDICAL EDUCATION). It is basically a collection of FREE medical education resources that can be accessed online by students and healthcare professionals. It exists in several different forms including but not limited to podcasts, blog entries, online videos, and so much more.
In this video I talk about how to remove stuck rings in the emergency department. There are several different techniques and a good physical exam and clinical judgement should be used to pick the best method for a given situation.
Some of my favorite emergency medicine FOAM resources:
