1In the later half of 2018, the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) published their guidelines with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients.

Check out the full breakdown of the […]

A relatively recent article, the SHoC-ED trial, can sound like the need for ultrasonography in hypotension is not necessarily beneficial. In this podcast the trial, along with its strengths and limitations, will be reviewed. Previous papers such as theSasmaz et al. paper published in Emergency Medicine International in 2016, “Effect of Focused Bedside Ultrasonography in […]

Sometimes, especially during a long shift, we want to ask our patients why they thought they needed to come see us suddenly for a complaint that does not seem emergent. It can be challenging to remember that our patients seek our help for a variety of reasons. This post primarily reflects from a paper in […]

Recently, our own Chip Lange was on The Skeptic’s Guide to Emergency Medicine (The SGEM) for Podcast #249 covering ultrasound to confirm endotracheal tube placement.

A while back, Podcast #70, we talked about how to perform a neurological exam. We also spoke on FOAMfrat.

This podcast is to discuss two important subjects with ultrasound. The first is a quick review of the Butterfly iQ (more detailed review to come) and the second discusses some of the key benefits of POCUS in EMS and other settings where having a larger machine is not feasible. You may be tired of hearing […]

This one is sure to generate some controversy, especially by my fellow #FOAMed colleagues but it is a conversation we need to have in all earnest. We must seriously consider if double sequential defibrillation (DSD) is as good a plan as we may have originally thought. Before we dive into the subject at hand, check […]

The original post is on Christmas Day 2018 but the principle remains true no matter the time of year. In medicine, burnout is a commonly faced problem.

Sometimes in medicine we find things we were not necessarily looking for when we perform a test. We call these incidental findings.

Incidental findings are frequently found on imaging but also with […]
