#geriED content at #acep24 with lectures on geriatric screening, medication management, and lit review from the past year! @DanyaKhoujah @ACEPNow @GeriatricEDNews

#acep24 off to a great start at the geriatric preconference! I learned from so many great programs. Is ISAR the best tool for screening? Should we inform people if we have a concern for cognitive impairment? Diagnosis it? Come to more #geriED events to learn more!

@replynickel @TEspejo_ @EDbingi @AcademicEmerMed @bcmaughan @davidcarr333 Thanks @replynickel and team for this great work. More evidence that a fall evaluation in the #geriED should be tailored to the patient and their circumstances and not one size fits all.

I frequently hear that "falling is angina of older people". Might not be as common, based on our prospective multicenter study: doi.org/10.1111/acem.1… tag @TEspejo_ @EDbingi @AcademicEmerMed @bcmaughan @davidcarr333 @statschmann #geriEM #geriED #teamUSB

Let’s treat fall risk as the important prognostic sign that it is and improve fall risk assessment and care from the ED.

Using the most restrictive definition (≥3), almost one in two older adult ED patients with suspected pneumonia experienced functional decline including one in five discharged patients. #geriatrics agsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jg…

@laurwilloughby Yes!

Am I actually getting excited about research? 🫢

@laurwilloughby Yes, never a bad thing

Wondering what #medtwitter thinks: Should you include a list of references on your CV when applying to fellowships or jobs?

@DanyaKhoujah No evidence for anticholinergics for treatment of benign positional vertigo! 😵‍💫 Stop giving older adults potentially harmful medications and start referring them to vestibular physical therapy. Thanks @DanyaKhoujah and team

October is domestic violence awareness month. Are you asking the questions? Are you screening your patients? Are you creating a safe open space for these conversations?
