October 01, 2017 Episode 9 - Diagnosis and Management of Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
COPD has huge economic and human burdens in the US. In fact, in 2010, two studies estimated that COPD exacted a direct and indirect cost of somewhere between $36 and $50 billion dollars in the US. With respect to the ED – in 2011, there were more than 1.7 million ED visits for COPD-related problems, with nearly 1/5th requiring hospitalization.

This episode of EB Medicine’s EMplify podcast is hosted by Jeff Nusbaum, MD, and Nachi Gupta, MD. This month’s corresponding full-length journal issue of Emergency Medicine Practice was authored by a strong team from the University of Maryland: Drs. Van Holden, Donald Slack, Michael McCurdy, and Nirav Shah.

September 01, 2017 Episode 8 - Recognizing and Managing Adrenal Disorders in the Emergency Department
Primary and secondary adrenal insufficiency are underrecognized conditions among emergency department patients, affecting an estimated 10% to 20% of critically ill patients. The signs and symptoms of cortisol deficit can be nonspecific and wide-ranging, and identification and swift treatment with stress-dosing of hydrocortisone is vital to avoid life-threatening adrenal crisis. This episode offers a review of the literature regarding adrenal disorders, from diagnosis to management to disposition.
This episode is hosted by Jeff Nusbaum, MD, and Nachi Gupta, MD. This month’s issue was authored by Drs. Cutright, Ducey, and Barthold of the University of Nebraska Medical Center, and it was edited by Dr. Knight of the University of Cincinnati and Dr. Zammit of the University of Rochester. Thank you, team, for your efforts putting this together.

July 01, 2017 Episode 6 - Identifying Emergency Department Patients With Chest Pain who are at Low Risk for Acute Coronary Syndromes
Though a minority of patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain have acute coronary syndromes, identifying the patients who may be safely discharged and determining whether further testing is needed remains challenging. This topic is of massive importance to emergency physicians and there is a wealth of literature exploring it. Every year, in the US, there are roughly 8 million ED visits for chest pain, and of those, only 13-25% lead to the diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes or ACS.
This episode is hosted by Jeff Nusbaum, MD, and Nachi Gupta, MD. This month’s issue was authored by Dr. David Markel, of Tacoma Emergency Care Physicians and was reviewed by Dr. Keith Marill from Mass General and Dr. Andrew Schmidt of the University of Florida College of Medicine.
