Be sure to stop by at #ACEP25 on Monday, 9/8. We'd love catch up with you, and hear your perspectives on these and other topics being discussed at this year's conference! @clshenvi @UNCEM

Dr. Martin Casey (@mfcasey), Dr. Carla Tayes (EM residency class of '24), & Beth Moreton recently contributed to; "Emergency Department Programs to Support Medication Safety in Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis." @JAMANetworkOpen Link: bit.ly/4cRJFay

New study! Managing severe agitation in older adults w/ antipsychotics/sedatives can lead to serious adverse events. Benzodiazepines, especially midazolam, pose highest risk. Quetiapine shows fewer adverse events. #Geriatrics #EmergencyMedicine @AGSJournal bit.ly/42PQwwI

Meta-analysis: ER-based geriatric medication programs with clinical pharmacists, geriatricians, and computerized decision support can reduce potentially inappropriate medications and adverse drug events in older adults. ja.ma/41XosrV @RachelSkains @phraewatht @mfcasey

Kudos to Kevin Musgrow, clinical research assistant with @UNCEM, and colleagues for the abstract & publication at the @ACEPNow conference: "Frequency of Aspirin Re-Evaluation After a Bleeding-Related Emergency Department Visit: A Pilot Study." bit.ly/3A3mnQ9

Thank you @shan_lliu635 @ifem2 for giving me the opportunity to share my thoughts on managing the older adult with acute agitation. More info at... ifem.cc/management_of_…

@SelmanMD @CameronGettel woohoo! great work

Congrats @SelmanMD! 🍾🤓

New in the Journal of Geriatric Emergency Medicine: institutionalrepository.aah.org/jgem/vol5/iss3… More important than family history in older patients is an understanding of the caregiver network supporting them. This led us to think about what would go into a "Best Possible Caregiver History".

@drklam fantastic work! any thoughts/data on how often the legally authorized rep (decision maker) is different than then primary caregiver? such a challenge in the ed when adult children of cognitively impaired often have their own kids & careers to manage

New research from Dr. Daniel Markwalter and Dr. Ming Ding with @UNCEM & colleagues: "Emergency Dept. Discharges Directly to #Hospice: Longitudinal Assessment of a Streamlined Referral Program." Link to publication: bit.ly/4eX8TV7

Exactly how I felt, didn't start liking writing until I learned that the red ink is the process that gets you to the fun parts.... I hated writing—until I learned there’s a science to it | Science | AAAS science.org/content/articl…

Had a fantastic time doing my first podcast with the excellent @clshenvi on GEMCast! Thanks Dr. Shenvi for lets me share my thoughts on... Why Less is More: Strategies for Deprescribing in the ED gedcollaborative.com/podcast/why-le…

Potentially inappropriate medication use extends well beyond the domain of age. Imperative to consider chronic conditions as well when starting new medications.

🥃 Specific substance prevalences: •Benzodiazepines: 9.3% (95% CI: 6.0-12.6%) •Cannabinoids: 4.3% (95% CI: 2.0-6.7%) •Ethanol: 8.0% (95% CI: 5.2-11.7%) •Opioids: 15.0% (95% CI: 10.9-19.1%)

woot woot! congrats @DrMichelleLin!
