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.

Foreign policy through the lens of an emergency physician
These seem unrelated, but give me a chance. I was eating outside at a restaurant with my 5 month old, Max, and a car with a modified muffler hit the gas right in front of us. In Australia, you’d call the driver a “hoon.” The noise terrified my boy, and I felt something I’m not used to: protective rage. When Max stopped crying my mind went to struggling families, kids, bombs, drones and suicide bombers, naturally. So I thought I’d type on medicine and foreign affairs. When you arrive in an ER with one-sided leg/arm/face paralysis, you’ll probably be whisked to a CT scanner to see whether...

Jellybean 061 with Craig Wylie of BadEM
Discussions in Emergency Medicine”. Sounds good. Is Good! It is conspicuous for the multiple different professionals that contribute; when I spoke to Craig BadEM had 3 paramedics, one medical student and one doctor. (That was Kat Evans; see Jellybean 044) Since then they have added another emergency physician with a strong cardiology interest and an paediatrician. This is a multi-disciplinary game after all. Emergency Medicine is a different beast in different countries and in South Africa it is a quite an impressive beast indeed. A big beast. With big teeth!. It is the trauma that we all hear about but the resources, t...
