| Scott Weingart | Laryngeal Airways with Daniel Cook, MD (Part I) | EMCrit 43 | My favorite supraglottic airway is the Cookgas Air-Q; it was created by an anesthesiologist, Dr. Daniel Cook. He just created a new device that allows the placement of an esophageal blocker through the laryngeal airway. I gave him a call to hear about the new product and in the course of that conversation, he gave me a ton of tips on the placement of laryngeal airways. Part II will specifically discuss the new device. |

Specifically, I deal with patients who have only been intubated for a few hours in distinction to extubation of the patient who has been lingering in your ED for 2-3 days. The best patients for this short-term extubation are those intox folks with a low GCS and signs of trauma, overdoses, or endoscopy cases. |

| Colin Parker | Circulation (part 2 of 2) | EMPEM 11 | IV Maintenance fluids for sick children: what fluid, and how much? This seemingly simple question has a controversial, complex and evolving answer.

| David H. Newman, Ashley Shreves | The Placebo Paradox | SMART EM 12 | Deep inside most medical providers there is a war of the psyche; a battle between art and science. We are ambassadors for Û÷scienceÛª, true believers. Yet we are baffled and unsettled every day by events and conditions that defy the scientific precepts on which we stand. The most ubiquitous emblem of this conflict is placebo. Placebo equals nothing. DoesnÛªt it? But common surgeries are proven no better than sham surgery. Entire classes of ubiquitous drugs are proven equal to placebo. Thus we may scoff at placebo, but we implicitly confess and embrace the power of placebo every day. |
| David H. Newman, Ashley Shreves | Upper GI Bleed: PPIs | SMART EM 11 | Upper GI bleeds are common, and theyÛªre messy. We wanted to know how good the data are for the pharmacological interventions that have become standard fare for upper GI bleeds. Turns out the data are messy too. In fact, because no one else would, we did our own little meta-analysis. Good news is we have a concrete answer on PPIs for upper GI bleeding. Bad news is that the news is not good. And not at all what we expected. |
| David H. Newman, Ashley Shreves | Threatened Abortion: Knowledge is Power | SMART EM 10 | Threatened abortion is among the most common conditions in outpatient settings. The explosive growth of ultrasound imaging, and increasingly limited access to specialty care have combined to make first trimester bleeding a disease for emergency and primary care docs. |

Risk of the dye, risk of the radiation, and risk of false positives. ItÛªs all here, adults and kids alike. Deep dive in, this data is flat out fun. |
| David H. Newman, Ashley Shreves | Chest Pain Risk | SMART EM 8 | Risk stratification is the emergency physicianÛªs best friend. We stratify, itÛªs what we do. So how likely is it that a 56 y/o gentleman with mild exertional chest pain, a non-diagnostic EKG, and a negative troponin is going to have an MI or die in the next 30 days? |
| David H. Newman, Ashley Shreves | Antibiotics for Otitis Media: Feel Better? | SMART EM 7 | Otitis media is the primary reason that children in western developed nations spend 6-7 weeks per year taking antibiotics before their 2nd birthday. Seriously. Is it worth it? WhatÛªs in it for them? WhatÛªs in it for moms and dads? Who are we helping and who are we hurting? |
| David H. Newman, Ashley Shreves | Pediatric UTI: Its About the Future | SMART EM 6 | UTIÛªs are the Û÷in thingÛª. Particularly with the heptavalent pneumococcal vaccine in play, and bacteremia increasingly a part of our past, UTIÛªs have become the number one concern in febrile children over 2 months of age. So if youÛªre wondering about how and why fevers matter in kids, and what to do about them, weÛªve got your answer. |
