 Mentorship is a huge part of physician success in medicine. For as hard as we have worked and as much sacrifice as we have made, at some point, we have all had someone (or multiple people) play an integral role in our achievements. How can you be an effective mentee? And what, exactly, makes an effective mentor? EMRA*Cast host  Will Smith, MD, speaks with one of the greats,  Arlene Chung, MD, MACM.

TO POCUS OR NOT TO POCUS

 ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a term that all emergency medicine residents learn and commit to memory early on. This term is far from perfect, however, and some physicians think it should be thrown out altogether. In this episode, host Masood Mohammed (@DocMooseEM) chats with Dr. Susy DeMeester (@SusyDemeester) about why ‘STEMI’ misses the mark and what we can do to fix it.

In part 2 of her interview with Dr. Haney Mallemat, Dr. Jessie Werner finds out how to manage the ventilator in the ED and reviews some real-life cases with Haney! Overview: As Emergency Medicine physicians we’re tasked with taking care of the sickest of the sick, often before we even have a diagnosis to clarify the clinical picture. Stabilizing critically ill patients may require placing a definitive airway and providing hemodynamic support with pressors. When faced with these challenging situations, what do you do? So you decide to intubate. Now what? What are the different ventilator modes and how do we choose? What does it mean when the vent is alarming? Find out how to select vent settings and troubleshoot problems in Part 2 on becoming a critical care beast in the ED!  Key Points  There’s no difference between pressure and volume control  If you’re giving a certain pressure, you monitor the volume, and vice-versa   Remember 6-8cc/kg of volume (using ideal body weight) for lung protective strategy Peak pressure is the sum of resistance and compliance Plateau pressure measures compliance High peak pressure indicates a resistance problem High peak AND plateau pressure indicate the lungs are stiff To diagnose a ventilator problem think DOPES:  D: displaced tube or cuff problem O: obstructed tube P: pneumothorax E: equipment problem S: breath stacking   To fix a ventilator problem think DOTTS:  D: disconnect from the ventilator and allow for full exhalation O: oxygenation - are they bagging okay? T: tube in the right place T: tweak the vent to prevent breath stacking S: ultraSound      References / Resources   Weingart, Scott D.

Flashback Friday: How to Manage Pressors and Vents in the ED lIke a Boss (Part 2)

Antibiotics are one of the center pillars of medical management both within and outside of the emergency department (ED). Diagnostic momentum and treatment is established early within a patient’s presentation and is typically initiated in the ED. This places a particular responsibility on us both to initiate adequate treatment for our patients, which is appropriately broad and disease-specific, but also to keep with appropriate antibiotic stewardship. EMRA*Caster Alex Kaminsky sits down with Dr. Bryan Hayes, ED clinical pharmacist to discuss pearls and pitfalls regarding antibiotic use in the ED - meanwhile dispelling common antibiotic myths and misconceptions along the way.
