Practice Editing Here (Nov 15th in-class Wiki session work)

 * This is a place to practice clicking the "edit" button and practice adding references (via the citation button).

Task:


 * 1) Find a peer-reviewed journal article on PubMed. Practice inserting your citation in the above space using the "cite" tool
 * 2) Choose one "B-level" medical article on Wikipedia from the following list: https://wp1.openzim.org/#/project/Medicine/articles?quality=B-Class&importance=High-Class
 * 3) Practice editing live on Wikipedia by finding a typo in the text or improving the clarity/readability of a sentence by adjusting a few words in a sentence.

Change to Management: Medications section of the Article (First Paragraph)

 * Based on 2019 guidelines,1mg of epinephrine may be administered to patients every 3-5 minutes, but high dose epinephrine is not recommended for routine use in cardiac arrest. If the patient has a non-shockable rhythm, the epinephrine should be administered as soon as possible. For a shockable rhythm, epinephrine should only be administered after initial defibrillation attempts have failed.

Rationale for Change & Controversy
The first paragraph in the ‘Medications Management’ section discusses the use of epinephrine during management of cardiac arrest. This information is based on the American Heart Association 2015 clinical guidelines, which have since been updated in 2018. The proposed change for this section will elaborate on the use of epinephrine in cardiac arrest including dosage, timing, and administering with shockable and non-shockable rhythms. This will provide clarification surrounding epinephrine use and cite the most recent literature available for clinical guidelines.

There was no controversy surrounding my proposed change. After discussion with my group members, we all agreed that this change was important to provide a relevant clinical update to cardiovascular support care guidelines based on the American Heart Association.

Critique of Source
For the medication management changes, the updated clinical guidelines for cardiovascular life support from the American Heart Association are used as reference. This is a leading resource for information related to cardiovascular resuscitation and cardiac support in the clinical setting. After assessing the working group and authors for any conflict of interest or source of bias, we concluded that this information is credible.

What to post on the Wikipedia article talk page (part of assignment 3)

 * This will also be covered on Nov 15th in class. Your group should use the below template to share an outline of your proposed improvements (including your new wording and citations). Article talk pages are not places to share your assignment answers. The Wikipedia community will be more interested in viewing your exact article improvement suggestions including where you plan to improve the article (which section), what wording you suggest, and the exact citation (Note: all citations must meet WP:MEDRS)
 * You will not be able to paste citations directly from your sandbox to talk pages (unless you are interested in editing/learning Wiki-code in the "source editing" mode). We suggest re-adding your citations on the talk page manually (using the cite button and populating the citation by pasting in the DOI, website, or PMID). You will have to repeat this process yet again when you edit the actual article live.
