  • Summary

  • People living with sickle cell disease can experience severe “pain crises”, or vaso-occlusive episodes (VOE), and are at increased risk for infections, strokes, heart failure, and other serious disease processes. When patients are out sickle cell present to the ED, it is crucial to initiate their evaluation and treatment as soon as possible. So what does this mean practically for us as clinicians? Hematologist and Sickle Cell expert, Dr. Bimpe Adesina, and Emergency Physician and researcher, Dr. Bryn Mumma, join us to explore this topic in depth.  In part 1, we delve into assessment and management of patients presenting with VOE. Stay tuned for parts 2 and 3, where we’ll explore the use of intranasal fentanyl and the management of other emergent presentations related to sickle cell disease!
