@alisonlaflan @michael22joseph New Mexico: Lots of mountains, beautiful scenery, low outdoor (and road) traffic, lots of sick patients, dry heat.

@CEB_Nebraska Can you reveal the identity of this Santa?

[Ethan Deckert, MD @ethandeckert]

@jazzscrubs @UIowaPCCM @IntMedatIowa @emilyhast Super stoked for you, Roger! Congratulations!

[Ethan Deckert, MD @ethandeckert]

@NebraskaEM aww, miss all you guys and gals. Sign me up for an interview slot just to catch up with everybody! :)

[Ethan Deckert, MD @ethandeckert]

@rossmathiasen @NebraskaEM Miss these games, hope all is well. Tell Larsen what's up for me!

[Ethan Deckert, MD @ethandeckert]

@shegotlobello Yea I agree, and ETI is an important backup for your SGA but if you’re not trained with that skill, it’s out of the question. Glad you’re getting out there and writing articles, keep it up!

The Lelli test (lever test), definitely our go-to test for ACL rupture.

Left leg normal (negative test); right leg (positive test) complete ACL rupture.

@kgwillet @NickJobeunDO @NebraskaEM @NickJobeunDO needs to hook me up with one of those t shirts. 😁

Finally, it is universally acknowledged that no single worthwhile goal can be successfully pursued by a man who is occupied with many tasks... ...because the mind when it's focus is split absorbs little in depth and rejects everything that is jammed into it.

This is an incredible demonstration of the importance of pre-intubation checklist and optimizing position before you pick up the blade.

Watch this AMAZING real-time MRI showing what happens to the airway with various anatomical head and neck positions.

This is exactly why basic airway maneuvers save lives!

@TheBlondeRN Phenylephrine is my favorite - quick, easy to mix, nice round dosing, simple mechanism, and the syringe fits nicely in my pocket. But I use Levophed the most in the ED and on flight transports. Epinephrine the most in the prehospital arena with cardiac arrest/anaphylaxis etc.

[Ethan Deckert, MD @ethandeckert]

@emily_fri @CriticalCareNow @tsquaredmd I completely agree with this, but if I'm already looking w/ a mac, I'm probably going to go ahead and try lifting the epiglottis out of the way before I pull my blade out and take the time to switch to a Miller.

@SusannaLHarris ATP synthase creates a transmembrane proton gradient to build ATP for cellular fuel working against the thermodynamic gradient of the cell. If the gradient shifts, ATPase still works in reverse, to hydrolyze ATP to ADP and release energy. Never ceases to blow my mind. @Bdorsey2

[Ethan Deckert, MD @ethandeckert]

@DGlaucomflecken Devils advocate here, but perhaps some of this "superfluous" material is what provides the depth of education for MD/DO's, and thus a deeper understanding of physio/path/pharma? There are other programs w/ less detailed training, if people don't want to spend the time. Thoughts?

[Ethan Deckert, MD @ethandeckert]

@NebraskaEM @UNMC_iEXCEL Excited to see Joe Lippert and @NickJobeunDO sharing their airway wisdom! Strong work doctors. #meded #EM #EmergencyMedicine
