The Best of #FOAMed Emergency Medicine

  • Trying to choose a NOAC giving you headaches? Check out review of apixaban and rivaroxaban from the EMPharmD. [AS]
  • How exactly do you manage the airway in a cardiac arrest? ETI? SGA? BVM? The Taming the SRU crew provide a fantastic deep dive into the evidence behind cardiac arrest airway management. [MMS]
  • Take a pause next time you decide to prescribe a macrolide for your community acquired pneumonia (CAP) patient. Look at your local resistance patterns and embrace an alternative strategy. [MMS]
  • PHEMcast talks about major incidents with providers who were there. Learn from their experiences with response, CISM, and more. [MG]

The Best of #FOAMcc Critical Care and #FOAMres Resuscitation

  • Is there a better way to treat Torsades de Pointes? And does anyone (besides me) use atropine or isoproterenol to increase base heart rhythm rate and shorten QTc? [AJB]
  • Jo Davy discusses a now classic trial of balanced solutions vs starch in the critically ill – another great contribution to The Bottom Line. [SO]
  • Want to get faster and slicker at ECMO cannulation? A wire assistant is an essential part of the team, and the ED ECMO guys tell us how that works. [SO]

The Best of #FOAMtox Toxicology

  • Fantastic post from Tox + the Hounder Meghan Spyres on the osmol gap, anion gap, metabolic acidosis and the KULTS menominic. [AS]

The Best of #FOAMus Ultrasound

  • Looking for a realistic vascular access simulator? Jason Bowman and Jacob Avila show a simple technique using a chicken breast and penrose drain. [MMS]
