Not pro-histamine but anti-antihistamine in #geriatric patients.

We can do better initiating medication for #OUD in the #emergency department based on data in this study.

Can the success of #prehospital #blood transfusion seen in traumatically injured patients be seen in non-traumatic #hemorrhage patients? This study says, maybe.

So much #research over the years on #nebulized #pain medication (I’m guilty!) but how many are using it in practice? Here’s another one looking at ketamine.

So many #geriatric prediction tools. My bias is find one that’s easy and go with it. The biggest benefit is putting a spot light on #frailty and thinking about how pre-existing disease is going to impact your older #emergency department patient. Am I wrong?

Is there an optimal tool to assess #geriatric #emergency department patients and #mortality/morbidity?

Finished updating the IBCC chapter on septic shock

This algorithm is where I ended up 👇

Therapies should be based on several factors (not solely whether CRT is <3; CRT isn't precise so this dichotomy is problematic)

Beware of vasopressin; it may depress digital perfusion & block the goal #EMIMCC

#Multimodal pain control. YES
IV #paracetamol. YES
Rapid onset opiate agonist/antagonist. YES
This study offers many options for #prehospital traumatic #pain control.

This @umemergencymed.bsky.social pearl reminds us that norepinephrine may have a place in #ACLS in the future.
