Research and Reviews in the Fastlane 117
This study looked at adding the high frequency linear transducer after failure to identify IUP with the standard transducer. Of 81 initial scans, 27 patients did not have an IUP visualized with the curvilinear probe. Of those, 9 (33%) were found to have an IUP by using the linear probe. (It seems like it is helpful if you can see a probable gestational sac, but can’t identify a fetal pole or yolk sac). Recommended by: Justin Morgenstern Pediatrics Padua AP et al.

Research and Reviews in the Fastlane 035
This study suggests that antiemetics are not nearly as potent as widely believed. These drugs have been shown to be effective in preventing nausea (i.e. pretreatment for chemo) but it’s appears that the mechanism for halting nausea is different than that for preventing it.

This study found that women with higher BMI (> 25) were at an increased risk for medication failure (OR 3.60). The authors recommend that women with higher BMIs should be offered copper IUDs (not realistic in most EDs). Alternatively, some agents are more effective and may be viable options.

Research and Reviews in the Fastlane 052
This study looked at compliance with discharge instructions. Surprisingly (or maybe not so), 39% of pediatric patients returned to play (RTP) on the day of the injury. RTP is widely recognized as a risk for recurrent and more severe concussions as well as significant morbidity. It is the duty of the Emergency Physician to stress the importance of discharge instructions as well as the importance of appropriate follow up.

Research and Reviews in the Fastlane 040
In this study the role of a “1/2 dose” thrombolysis was evaluated for the reduction of pulmonary artery pressure in moderate PE. A total of 121 patients with moderate PE received either tissue plasminogen activator plus anticoagulation or anticoagulation alone with the primary end points of pulmonary hypertension and the composite end point of pulmonary hypertension and recurrent PE at 28 months. The results suggested that the ½ dose or “safe dose” thrombolysis was safe and effective in the treatment of moderate PE, with a significant immediate reduction in the pulmonary artery pressure that was ma...
