🔖CJEM Journal Club “Should we apply the pressure in preoxygenation?” examines whether using non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIV) during preoxygenation reduces the risk of hypoxemia in critically ill patients undergoing intubation via @NEJM PREOXI Trial ⭐️Findings: NIV (or potentially bag-valve with PEEP) may improve oxygenation and reduce peri-intubation cardiac arrest without increasing aspiration risk.

Beyond the regular medications in ACLS, what do guidelines and evidence tell us about adjuncts? What drugs do you always reach for in Cardiac Arrest cases? Dr. Brenkel with much more: emottawablog.com/2025/07/the-co…

BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying. Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt. Here's what 4 months of data revealed: (hint: we've been measuring productivity all wrong)

NIBP are rubbish in critically ill patients. Think arterial lines. ⁦@EMManchester⁩ ⁦@ICEM2025⁩ ⁦@stemlyns⁩

Training EM residents in critical airway skills: ✅Break down micro skills ✅Flipped classroom model ✅Practice BEFORE teaching sessions ✅Case-based learning ✅Rapid cycle deliberate practice with coaching using sim ✅ Stepwise increases in complexity #ICEM2025

Intubation in ED vs OR: same technical skills, completely different worlds. Chaos, unpredictability, and high emotions change everything about EM airway management decisions. We need to rethink how we're training EM residents for these real-world critical situations. #ICEM2025

@HumanFact0rz when you guys are doing VAFEI for bad trauma airways, are you seeing many issues with blood+visibility? Any troubleshooting tips?

Ed Scholars @CAEP_Docs - “Teaching in the Trenches: Navigating Access Block” ✅develop micro skills, impart key pearls ✅”just-in-time” teaching for procedures ✅teach flow - how can we move 5 more patients in ✅review/triage the WR ✅ Reconstruct cases (what if?) #ICEM2025

I didn’t expect The Pitt to hit me like it did. As an ER doc, so much of what we go through has always felt impossible to explain—to friends, to partners, to family. But this show… this show finally helped them see us. Really see us. (Quick thought)⬇️

EPIC downtime

🧵regarding the useful technique of 'straightening the wire' during central line placement when the plastic guide is no longer within reach. If you do a lot of central lines (or a lot of percutaneous procedures), this technique will come in handy over and over again. (1/ )
