On this day, we at EMU would like to recognize all the amazing efforts of emergency medicine physicians, nurses, first responders and allied health who work so hard to save lives and minimize suffering on a daily basis.

Very grateful for the opportunity to speak at this year's @EM_Update hosted by @NYGH_News
I highly recommend EMU. Incredible content, incredible speakers.
I've summarized my talk below, 5 high impact interventions/considerations outside of the trauma centre.
RSI consider lower dose of ketamine 0.5-.75 mg/kg or etomidate 10-15 mg. Document neuro exam before intubation (pupils, GCS, lateralizing signs). TXA 2 g bolus in 1st 15 min. No cryoprecipate if you can get a level but give if you can’t and bleeding. 1-3 g calcium.
Dr Andrew Petrosoniak at %nyghemu2026: blood/MTP for anyone bleeding with a hemodynamic derangement (prehospital hypotension, altered LOC, POCUS, SI>1, RABT => 2, ABC =>2). Balance perfusion vs hemostasis ~sBP 95-105.
A monopoly QR in plain sight
Down the hall from where you grab a bite
Stop here for a rest, but don’t fall asleep
Keep the clue hush and don’t say a peep
