AZEMCast Update Nov 30, 2021

Hi all,

Unbeknownst to me, last month was our 100th episode! And after 100 episodes of mid-quality, EM goodness, we’re gonna take a semi-deserved vacation and hiatus from the podcast. We’re hoping to regroup and come back with bigger and better content for your eager EM ears. Happy Holidays all!

October AZEMCast - The Approach to the Trauma PanScan Oct 31, 2021

Happy October everyone!

This month we take a pause from the competitive format to ponder the question: to PanScan or not to PanScan? Recently we had an exceptional conference lecture by Dr. Garrett Pacheco and Dr. Adam Nelson addressing all of the reasons why and why not. Such an excellent talk need sot be spread broadly. No points this time around but the debate style is still in effect. Enjoy!

July AZEMCast - The Approach to Sepsis Alerts Jul 31, 2021

Happy July everyone!

Welcome to the new interns. You’re gonna get quite familiar with all the nuances of the electronic medical record system but none quite as much as sepsis alerts. We dig deep into those questions you want to know about sepsis alerts like: Q: Are they good or bad for your patient? A: Yes. Q: Are we overcalling the disease or finally getting it under control? A: Sure Q:Are they annoying or necessary? A: Definitely! As a primer, Dr. Brian Drummond, Dr. Chris Williams and I give you some background, evidence, explanation and heavy opinion on why we have these alerts and what they mean for your patients and your ED flow.

July 2020 AZEMCast -The Approach to Young Chest Pain Jul 31, 2020

Happy July everyone!

This season we are trying something brand new for your listening pleasure. It’s a unique approach to your education that is case-based, evidence-based and most importantly … competitive! The panelists you know and love will go head to head demonstrating the necessary skills you need to be a top notch emergency physician. Panelists will be awarded points for their quick wit, prioritization of tasks and mastery of evidence based medicine. However they will lose points for weak arguments, purely experience based medicine and use of unhelpful medical jargon like “high index of suspicion” or “gestalt.” Each episode they will navigate a case just as they would on shift, discussing their approach to the ring down, the work up and the dispo. The panelist with the most points at the end of the episode will have center stage to discuss the art of EM near and dear to their hearts. Follow along with the score and the cited literature as chapter title cards appear on your screen.We hope you enjoy this new take on EM education and can carry it forward to your next shift. Welcome to this month’s episode on the Approach to Young Chest Pain.

June 2020 - Headache Treatment Jun 30, 2020

Happy June everyone!

First, a huge shout out to our graduating seniors who need as much praise and admiration as possible to show our appreciation. It’s a new world and you are all ready for it! Also a big welcome to our new interns who have traveled from all over to now be a part of the COVID battle in AZ. July 1st is always nerve wracking but I’m certain this year it’s even more so. Know that your program has your back and you can reach out at any time. Hopefully the worst part will be the endless Zoom meetings. And speaking of Zoom, this month we are talking about the management of headache in the ED. Migraine and headache are multifactorial complaints and there’s no one-size-fits-all treatment. This leads to some uncertainty but also to some creativity for us EM providers. Brian, two Chris’s and I will finish up our headache discussion with our tips to crafting the perfect migraine cocktail for your patient. Stay safe!

May 2020 - Headache Evaluation May 29, 2020

Happy May everyone!

At least I hope so. Things seems to be settling into the new normal and I hope you and yours are well. ED volumes are coming and with it, the typical ED complaints are coming back. And nothing says the ED is returning back to normal like the headache patient. Once the patient gets to us, how do we approach them? With evidence-based medicine and experience of course! Fortunately, this month’s episode has exactly that this month with Brian, Chris and myself. Stay safe!

Hey all you cats and kittens, happy April,

I hope you all are finding some rest and balance during this uncertain time. Please know that what you do is greatly appreciated by those around you. This month continues with the awesome peer review by Drs. Clay Josephy and Mike McLaughlin. If you didn’t listen to last month’s episode, you need to so you can hear all the many ways they appropriately use sedation. Clay and Mike continue to put us in our place this month as they discuss their favorite sedative, including some stuff we glossed over. Thank you guys for your expertise and for all you do, The AZEMCast Team Email: aleetch@aemrc.arizona.edu Twitter: @arizonaemcast https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/arizona-emcast/id685439303?mt=2
