Will AI replace emergency physicians—or reshape their work?
A new study suggests AI is more likely to automate routine tasks, such as documentation and record review, while supporting physicians with complex clinical decisions.
The immediate impact may be less about replacing emergency physicians and more about giving them more time to focus on patient care.

What does diagnostic excellence look like in the ED—and how do we define a missed diagnostic opportunity? This expert consensus work offers clear, patient-centered definitions to help guide ED research, quality improvement, and safety efforts. At its core, diagnostic excellence means using the best evidence available to reach and communicate an accurate, timely explanation for a patient’s condition—equitably and collaboratively.

When a painful erection does not resolve, time matters.
A patient presented with persistent penile pain and engorgement. Point-of-care Doppler ultrasound revealed absent cavernosal artery flow and markedly reduced dorsal penile artery velocities.
What diagnosis do these findings suggest? And how might POCUS support early recognition of this time-sensitive urologic emergency?

Does more bupivacaine mean more sustained headache relief after a sphenopalatine ganglion block?
In this randomized, four-arm ED study of 220 patients with moderate to severe headache, larger doses and bilateral administration did not lead to significantly greater sustained headache relief than lower-dose approaches.
The procedure was generally well tolerated, with minor adverse events reported in ≤10% of patients.
