Jonathan Rowland: "Malignant CNS Emergencies"
Emergency Medicine
Basic emergency medicine critical actions are applicable and appropriate in the cancer population. Breast, Lung, and Melanoma are the most common tumors to metastasize to the brain while Breast, Lung, and Prostate are the most common to go to the spine. Dexamethasone is a common initial treatment of choice in cases of suspected spinal cord compression or elevated ICP from a brain metastasis. The imaging modality of choice is an MRI with and without contrast of brain and/or entire spine (or both, depending on the circumstances).

Adriana Wechsler: Superior Vena Cava Syndrome
Emergency Medicine
Superior Vena Cava syndrome (SVC) may be the first presentation of a cancer and therefore not suspected. The most common symptoms are facial edema, distended neck and/or chest veins, cough and dyspnea. Acute life-threatening symptoms such as airway obstruction from laryngeal edema, cerebral edema, hypotension and coma are possible, but fortunately rare. Over 60% of SVC syndromes are malignant in etiology, with 85% of those due to either lung cancer or lymphoma. To watch the lecture, and learn more about the speaker, please visit

info_outlineThe invention of the laryngeal mask by Dr. Archie Brain in 1988 began an era of airway management and anesthetic innovation that continues today. The supraglottic airway is an alternative to mask ventilation and endotracheal intubation yet provides another solution to management of the difficult airway. The device has undergone an evolution in design and function and today exists as an invaluable tool in managing our challenging patient population and surgical demands.
