Did you know women are less likely to receive CPR than men?

Shout to the Pitt for showing the reality of how women can receive substandard care because of… their chest.

Everyone is talking about the new AHA cpr guidelines recing against mechanical compression devices. Note the caveat of considering it in settings where high-quality cpr cannot be maintained (think small EMS crews, long transport times). This rec was in the last update and has only changed in LOE!

The most majestic thing you will see on #bluesky today. 😇

Midazolam and Ketamine for Convulsive Status Epilepticus in the Out-of-Hospital Setting To determine if ketamine, when added to midazolam for the treatment of out-of-hospital seizures, is associated with an increase in the rate of cessation of convulsions prior to hospital arrival.

Wonder where they got this dosing?

Considering just about every hospitalized patient gets ceftriaxone? Think it’s more likely that people with cardiac arrests just happened to also get ceftriaxone since we give it like candy 🍬

I personally love how the floors will randomly make up a blood pressure cutoff and REFUSE to take a patient unless it’s lower than this arbitrary number 🤷🏼‍♀️ #emedsky #medsky #pharmsky

💯 There is deep anxiety about oral antibiotics not being “aggressive” enough with a “severe” infection, with the concern about an error of omission rather than commission. Meaning, a bad outcome by doing less outweighs concerns about a bad outcome by doing more. #IDsky

In @annalsofem.bsky.social we published on the shocking rise in UFH use for PE www.annemergmed.com/article/S019.... We wanted to know why, so we conducted a qual study out in @jama.com and found some interesting things jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... #education #MedSky #EMSky #EMedSky #BlueSky

State-of-the-Art Review: Ocular Infections Collaborations between ophthalmologists and infectious disease specialists are critical for optimizing care of many patients with eye infections. We review

Ocular infections are some of the most challenging to treat. Uncertain penetration of systemic antibiotics into ocular tissue, need for intravitreal antibiotics, high risk for vision loss and even enucleation. This review in CID is fantastic. #IDSKY 🧪

Have you seen our report (PMID: 39237721) describing a new binding site for KETAMINE on NMDA receptors?

It explains how low-dose KETAMINE can inhibit mildly and SELECTIVELY tonically active receptors, while leaving unaltered synaptically active receptors.
