In this special episode we review some of the top items of 2015*

David Newman:

  • Opioids for back pain - falling out of favor.
  • Risk stratifying (and testing) low risk chest pain.

    • Haney Mallemat:

    • Peripheral vasopressors may be ready for prime time
    • FAST guided resuscitative thoracotomy (No cardiac activity and no effusion? No thoracotomy).
    • Movement towards less volume in sepsis (ex: in PROMISE trial average patient got 6L over 72 h)

      • Michelle Lin

      • Merging of FOAM with traditional journals 
      • Merging of FOAM resources into conglomerates
      • More medical education FOAM (ex: ICEnet, EMin5)

        • Rob Orman

        • Same as Haney (peripheral vasopressors + FAST in resuscitative thoracotomy)
        • Sexual intercourse 3-4 times per week may aid in expulsion of distal kidney stones.

          • Thanks for listening!
