Your next patient…
When the patient is crashing, "good enough" isn't enough! Stabilize ABCs and use BiPAP to offload the heart/lungs immediately. While peripheral pressors work in a pinch, these high-acuity cases need a central line for reliable, high-concentration access. #ICU #Shock #FOAMed
🚨 New Post Alert!
Syncope is common in the ED—but which decision rule do you trust?
⚡ San Francisco Syncope Rule = fast but fallible
🧩 Canadian Syncope Risk Score = comprehensive but complex
🩺 Neither replaces clinical judgment

Why VAFEI is the ultimate Plan B
If a standard blade fails, don't repeat the mistake. Pivot to Video-Assisted Flexible Endoscopic Intubation (VAFEI). Use VL to create space while the scope navigates the corner. Precision delivery with a mechanical advantage! 🎯 #DifficultAirway #FOAMed

So a drug that “halves” the incidence of post cardiotomy ARDS just appears and no one talks about it?
Single centre and overly large effect size should raise eyebrows. I’ll wait for the multicentre trial

#CPR:
EMS placing an arterial line (under US guidance) during CPR to guide resuscitation is a gangster move!

POCUS diastology in the ED = 1 question: Is LAP elevated now?
Measure E/e’ (mitral inflow E ÷ annular e’).
≥14 suggests elevated LAP/cardiogenic edema; ≤8 argues against; 8–14 indeterminate.

Intubation used to be a lot scarier 😱
Relying on a straight line of sight meant difficult anatomy often left you flying blind. Modern VL turns scary surprises into manageable procedures. Don't risk it—relying on your eyes alone is an unnecessary risk in 2026. #AirwayManagement #FOAMed

To round out the HD-CPR thread: read the curves, not just the digital numbers! EMCrit has two perfect deep-dives on this. One on targeting A-line DBP > 35, and another on reading true 'Pre-Tidal' EtCO2 curves during compressions. #FOAMed

Following up on the HD-CPR post: here is Per Olav Berve at Big Sick 2018 explaining exactly why monitors lie to us during mechanical CPR. If you want to understand "pre-tidal" CO2 and true diastolic pressure, watch this.

From blind intubations to RSI
From jamming tubes down noses to 4K video, medicine has evolved. Modern meds like Sux and a "menu" of VL/DL tools make airway management safer and more humane. Don't take current tech for granted! #MedHistory #FOAMed #AirwayManagement
