Introduction This site also contains several videos that demonstrate the application of common splints and casts in the emergency department. There is also information on instructions that should be given to all patients with casts that are discharged from the emergency department.
Plaster Lab Workshop A hands-on Plaster Lab Workshop is part of the procedures series for Clinical Clerkship in Emergency Medicine at the University of Ottawa. Students will practice putting on a short arm cast on each other. Students should be prepared to discuss the purpose and indications for a short arm cast, the materials needed, the precautions and contraindications to this procedure, and how to do it. A tutor will help students perfect their technique. Important: Students must review the casting techniques, the Short arm cast video and the Cast removal video prior to this workshop. Gowns and gloves will be available at this workshop as plaster is used. The Plaster Lab is part of the supervised clinical experience. The date, time and place for the Plaster Lab is on the schedule.
