Teaming up with the always awesome @TheSGEM for another Hot Off the Press! thesgem.com/2024/11/sgem45…

Hey @Delta, hoping your online team can help where filing reports and calling have utterly failed. Left two boxes on DL 0951 LAX —> JFK on 8/31 in the overhead by mistake, with Star Wars droids my kids built at Disney. Would love some help trying to get them back!!

@armyemdoc Oh man, you got me good! I read this on the 2nd, and my thumbs were trembling in anger, preparing to throw down…

Video laryngoscopy is for amateurs. If you are an experienced intubator, your first attempt should always be with direct laryngoscopy.

Ever wonder how to extubate a patient in the emergency department? Check out the latest SAEM Pulse article by @potte21012 @BraceyA & @MICUNerd! #emergencymedicine #criticalcare

@AMCResus @potte21012 @BraceyA @MICUNerd Awesome!

Hot off the press! In this month’s #SGEMHOP @TheSGEM and I talk to Ryan Gibbons from @TempleEM about the Speed protocol for ultrasound for acute aortic dissection. thesgem.com/2024/03/sgem43…

#SGEMHOP episode on the use of POCUS to Dx aortic dissection is available now on @YouTube youtube.com/watch?v=lKasT6… @CodeNeil @TempleEM @TemplePOCUS @the_TOTAL_EM @broomedocs @SAEMonline @AcademicEmerMed @ALiEMteam

@EM_Owl @NYUHospLI_EM Amazing! So proud of you!!

Fantastic #GrandRounds this AM by @CodeNeil! 👏👏 Looking Beyond #ATLS: Resuscitation of the Severely Injured Patient. We love the local collaboration with other #EM physicians & we’re even happier to share this lecture with @NYULHLI_Trauma! 🙌 #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

@4mmk36 @DanClintonRN @medmalreviewer I find it sad because the therapeutic benefit of tPA is questionable at best, and we’ve built a “standard of care” that has minimal benefit and real harm. Failure to treat stroke with tPA in most cases is probably preferable

@CodeNeil @DanClintonRN @medmalreviewer Why is that sad, it makes logical sense. Why should you get sued for complications from appropriate administration of tPA? Do surgeons get sued for DVTs after surgical operations? If you administer a drug, and a pt has anaphylaxis, should you get sued for it?

Found a malpractice lawsuit stating that it was negligent to admit a TIA patient (symptoms resolved), and that he should have been discharged. Why? Patient has a stroke overnight in the hospital. Neurologist didn't trust the nurse's neuro assessments, so they said no last known normal = no tPA. Patient suffers permanent left side paralysis. Plaintiff attorney says if you weren't going to trust the nurse's assessment, then he should have been discharged home. If he was discharged home, he would have returned to the hospital, and the neurologist would have trusted the patient's self-reported last known normal. Not really the TIA/stroke lawsuit I was expecting, but will certainly raise the issue of if we should even be admitting TIAs (apparently in Canada they do not), and if admitting people to the hospital actually prevents bad outcomes (a narrative that we love to tell ourselves that may not be based in reality).

@MicieliA_MD @medmalreviewer Good lord I would hope so. I do think there is small vessel disease that may benefit from aggressive medical management. There is also large vessel stenosis that causes a perfusion deficit warranting intervention. As @TheSGEM said, it all depends!

@medmalreviewer We admit TIAs in Canada with high risk lesion on CTA.

When you put in a cheat tube for a massive pleural effusion and you get this… #EMproblems

@ResusOne Wtf, how is this a thing??
