Description

FOAMcast is bringing you pearls from conferences we attend and, first up, the American College of Emergency Physicians annual meeting, ACEP14.  
Today's Pearls:
Emergency Physicians are like economists (We're more probalisticians than diagnosticians).
Cardiology pearls from Dr. Slovis - TTM to 36 Celsius post-arrest should be standard. Many people probably could benefit from caths after arrest, we're not sure exactly who at this point.
Patients returning from West Africa with fever probably have a regular virus, maybe malaria, but probably not ebola.
There's really not much use for glucagon in calcium channel blocker toxicity. Think supportive care, insulin-dextrose.
ETCO2 - it doesn't equal PaCO2 and it depends on cardiac output and alveolar ventilation  
For updates, follow #ACEP14
 
Thanks for listening, y'all!

We review a cutting edge a Free Open Access Medical Education (FOAM) blog or podcast and then delve into the Emergency Medicine Core Content texts on relevant issues and end with free board review questions. We believe in the educational merits of Free Open Access Medical education (FOAM), which includes podcasts, blogs, articles on PubMed Central, conferences streamed for free and more. As a result, we would like to encourage others to move beyond quoting podcasts and into the realm of tying “cutting edge” FOAM to the core content. Why, indeed, should we FOAM it alone when FOAM can inspire us to go, read, think, and be excellent? Thanks for listening, Jeremy Faust and Lauren Westafer
