Today on ACEP’s Frontline your host Dr. Ryan Stanton talks with Dr. Marianne Gausche-Hill about something that impacts all emergency physicians. The term BRUE is the ‘new’ ALTE. In 2016 the American Academy of Pediatrics began using the term after releasing a policy statement about an infant who experience a “Brief Resolved Unexplained Event”. It refers to infants under 12 months of age who, according to the parent, had an event such as a loss of tone, stiffening, an apneic episode or loss of consciousness for no apparent reason. What’s different in this new policy statement? Who’s high-risk, who’s low-risk, who needs to be worked up and admitted and who can go home? Find out what you need to know about these tiny patients that can create big worry.

Today on ACEP Frontline, host Dr. Ryan Stanton talks to Dr. Mark Rosenberg about the patient’s end-of-life care. When asked “how do you want to die”, most relatively healthy people will say, “in my sleep” or “I just want to drop dead”, but the reality is, 6.4% of population in North American will die from a sudden death episode. Statistically the rest of the population will die from a cancer trajectory, organ failure trajectory, or dementia. Each of these areas can benefit from palliative care. Studies show that people live longer and had better quality of life when provided with palliative care than those get aggressive treatment. Listen in as Dr. Rosenberg and Dr. Stanton talk about how to care for the end-of-life patient and their loved ones when they come into the emergency department.
