Emergency Medicine Update - July 2012
1)   Traumatic brain injury is catastrophic- just ask Marie Antoinette (true, that was a dislocation and not a true head injury). The question in this study was whether patients did worse if there was a 60 minute transit time, or they did worse when there was a need to be brought to a...
Emergency Medicine Update - May 2012
1)   Work in an Urban ED? Work in Europe, or Israel? You are going to see smokers even among some of the health care workers.  And you can make a difference in your taking the opportunity to warn them not to smoke. This study was done in Camden NJ (Hi Al) and while this is not a...
Emergency Medicine Update - April 2012
April 20121)   Hope you had a great March (considering this is still February when I started this issue, this makes me a bit an optimist –if you are a reader of EMU then you must think I lost it) (I did). I avoid articles from the Annals of EM, but there is some extension that can be...
Emergency Medicine Update - March 2012
March 20121)   Can't take anything from this study on cadavers but it does go against myths that ATLS has given us and this in itself is worthy to mention.  The recommendations of ATLS were always to log roll patients 90 degrees and then to slide the board out from under them...
Emergency Medicine Update - February 2012
FEB 121)   Generally we do not bring a lot of articles from the Annals of Emergency Medicine, but I have affection for industry studies that turn out negative.  There is a point of care device for measuring hemoglobin concentration but when compared to the standard lab device it...
Emergency Medicine Update - January 2012
JAN 20121)   Wow 2012 already- how time flies? - Which means it is time to quote Groucho Marx. "Time flies like an arrow.  Fruit flies like a banana."  Didn't like that one? How about" Marry me and I'll never look at another horse again". (that was Groucho too) All...
Emergency Medicine Update - December 2011
1)    Ketamine is in the news again. There is a Turkish study that said that midazolam blunts the well known emergence reaction. (Ann Emerg Med 57(2)109).  The methods admittedly were not bad, but see the related editorial from Ketamine guru Steve Green and yes- EMU reader...
Emergency Medicine Update - November 2011
 1)   We were taught that patients that are in septic shock are in negative fluid balance and we used to flood them with fluids. In this cohort they received 4 liters of fluid within 12 hours and they did worse than those with lesser fluid loads.  (CCM 39(2)259) It is a shame...
Emergency Medicine Update - October 2011
1)   In many communities-we EPs read radiology films. How do we do? Well, in this huge nine year retrospective study of films (over 151000 films) we misread 3% of which 0.056% of the sum total of films needed emergent intervention(AJEM 29(1)18).  Problem here is the gold standard...
Emergency Medicine Update - Setember 2011
 SEPT 111)   If you read last month's EMU than you already know this (and are probably a genius anyhow). HIT- heparin induced thrombocytopenia is often not thought about by EPs, and this chart review indicated that the major risks- history of heparin use in the past,...
