Einstein EM Residency

Training emergency medicine physicians with humanity, humility and honor for over 40 years in North Philly. Dedicated to #FOAMed. Tweets are not medical advice.

ICU Facts:

There is no way you can work in a 🇺🇸 ICU without hearing the expression "the patient is maxed out on pressors". This means that the pt is on the maximal dose of pressors (usually norepi) allowed by the institutional protocol

Even though the “maximum dose” of pressors

[Dr. Rick Pescatore @Rick_Pescatore]

This week, we gathered some of Philly’s most critical voices in emergency medicine for an evening that was equal parts thought-provoking, candid, and inspiring. Against the backdrop of a beautiful space—with incredible wine supplied by our favorite South Jersey vineyards—we tackled the future of EM: AI, workforce challenges, private equity, and the evolving role of the emergency physician.

What stood out most wasn’t just the weight of the discussion but the energy in the room—the passion, the sharp insights, the genuine camaraderie. It was a rare kind of night, one that reminded us all why this specialty matters and why the people in it are so exceptional.

Grateful to everyone who showed up, shared their wisdom, and made it an evening to remember!

ECG in Syncope Syndromes - BE WHAT QT PiE
Key patterns to rule out in cardiac syncope:

🔹 Brugada 1: Coved STE >2mm (V1-V3) + inverted T wave.
🔹 Electrolytes:
•⬆️K: Peaked T, wide QRS, no P.
•⬇️Ca: Long QT, Osborn J wave.
•⬇️Mg: QT prolongation, arrhythmias.
🔹 WPW: Delta wave, short PR.
🔹 HOCM: Dagger Q waves, LVH, giant T inversion (precordial).
🔹 ARVD: Epsilon wave, prolonged S in V1-V3.
🔹 Trifascicular block: RBBB, LAFB/LPFB, 1° heart block.
🔹 Long QT: >480ms.
🔹 Short QT: <360ms.
🔹 PE: RBBB, S1Q3T3, RV strain.

@EinsteinEMed Division of Critical Care &amp; EMS Division learned from the SALAD master himself, @jducanto. EM residents on their Critical Care Consults, Advanced Resuscitation and EMS rotations joined EMS fellows &amp; the team at @VMSC_345 to learn advanced airway techniques

A big congrats to two of our seniors who matched into EM fellowships today! Chris Riviello who is staying here at Einstein for tox, and Landon McNeely going to @UofUEmergency for EMS! We're so proud of you both!!

[Dr. Rick Pescatore @Rick_Pescatore]

In this month's @EMNews, a pair of #EMS experts from @EinsteinEMed @EMCM_EM @JeffHealthEH discuss the #PATCH-Trauma trial and advocate for the continued use of pre-hospital TXA.

Do you agree?
