Per ACC, 3 new STEMI equivalents that warrant *emergent angiography*:

-LBBB or ventricular-paced rhythm with *either* original OR *modified* Sgarbossa Criteria
-DeWinter's sign

Let's be 100% clear- EM research led to these updates by e.g. @PendellM @smithECGBlog (check ref!)

[Peter Johns M.D. @PeterJohns84]

Wonder why emergency physicians have been running way from the HINTS exam? Ken @TheSGEM and I look at this topic in detail on his podcast, and why they should get training and use HINTS properly! #EUSEM22 #EmergencyMedicine #FOAMed https://t.co/YR6wgv4kLW

@ETSshow We did exactly that. #StopTheBleed kits located all across the @JohnsHopkins undergraduate campus. @drmattlevy @chrismwend

Our publication evaluating the preparedness levels of collegiate EMS agencies to respond to disasters on campuses is finally out! (https://t.co/RRR34URxmC)

By surveying @NCEMSF-affiliated providers, we found that preparedness was highest in 1/

[Josh Farkas MD 💊 @PulmCrit]

amazing how deep the myth of contrast nephropathy has seeped into the medical literature. if you have a critically ill patient who needs a CT angio, just get the CT angio. don't pass go, don't collect 200$, don't check the creatinine - just get the scan.

LR doesn’t cause hyperkalemia.

Please help abolish this myth.

Also, I’m sorry if you spent 0.5 million on a medical education full of aphysiologic bollocks.

$1M on a MSU (plus $100k/yr for CT tech and RN, nevermind EMT+medic) could pay for two and a half fully stocked and staffed rigs.

What saves more brain/lives, having an MSU amidst several stroke center hospitals, or actually having an ambulance accessible in more rural places?

Should you be Going Mobile to Treat Acute Ischemic Stroke? via @TheSGEM https://t.co/W52F9GahIB #FOAMed

-SRMA of methodologically flawed trials
-Garbage In --> Garbage Out
-20kpts included, but only 1k for primary outcome
-Still no good evidence for mobile stroke units

Nobody:

Ribosome: let me go ahead and transcribe this

Macrophage: Yo, check out this cool spike I found

T-cell: wtf is that? Get rid of it. Where’s Bob?

B-cell: yes?

T-cell: If it ever shows up here again...

B-cell: yes mam

[Josh Farkas MD 💊 @PulmCrit]

a recent study shows balanced fluids tend to resolve DKA faster than saline. no shock here - giving acidic fluid to an acidotic patient is subawesome. but I want to deeper here to explore specific reasons *not* to give saline...

@AJRosenblum That should bode well for the kids’ parents and grandparents...and the kids who get pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome
