Priapism is one of the more rare, but emergent procedures required by EM physicians. Infrequent exposure, inconsistent supplies, and varying guidance and recommendations can lead to discomfort performing invasive procedures on such a sensitive areas. The aim of the small group lab is to familiarize attendees with supplies, sequence, and procedure. Will also address the important addition of intracavernosal phenyephrine and appropriate dilution and administration. Attendees will be provided a laminated quick reference card for bedside dilution.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the appropriate supplies needed for bedside priapism drainage.
  • Demonstrate the appropriate sequence and technque for priapism drainage.
  • Demonstrate ability to safely dilute phenylephrine for intracavernosal injection/irrigation.
