    Ep 215 Cardiac Arrest Update: Beyond the 2025 Guidelines Part 1: CPR, Defibrillation and Ventilation
    Mar 25 2026
    In this EM Cases update on cardiac arrest management, Dr. Sheldon Cheskes and Dr. Rob Simard join Anton to walk us through the evolving science and bedside practicalities of cardiac arrest management in the wake of the 2025 ACLS Guidelines. They answer questions such as: What are the most common failures in CPR quality, and how can we recognize and correct them in real time? Should we employ head up CPR, and if so how? How should we interpret ETCO₂ during cardiac arrest, and why shouldn’t we chase a single number? How can we minimize peri-shock pauses and optimize defibrillation success at the bedside? Is the traditional two-minute CPR cycle too rigid, and should we be shocking earlier in cases of refibrillation? What is the evidence behind dual sequential external defibrillation (DSED), and when should we use it? After 3 shocks or earlier? How does hyperventilation during cardiac arrest harm patients, and what strategies can reliably prevent it? What is compression-adjusted ventilation (CAV), and how can it improve ventilation consistency during resuscitation? What is the optimal dose of epinephrine in patient with Ventricular Fibrillation? and many more...

    In this month's EM Quick Hits Podcast we introduce not one, but two new series! First, "EMC²" - EM Cases Cases (we know, horrible name ;) where Anton or Katie discuss a knowledge building case with a special guest. And second, "Coaching the EM Mind" with Dr. Sara Gray a professional coach for EM providers, where Katie discusses with her the science and best expert advice on how to perform your best in the ED. Plus, a withdrawal syndrome that is new EDs, life-threatening and requires specific treatment - metetomadine withdrawal, EMS handover done right, why community ED docs should not use the PECARN C-spine Rule and Part 2 of Petro's tips on management of traumatic pneumothorax...

  • Ep 214 Bridging the Gap in Endometriosis Care: Recognition, Risk Stratification, and ED-Initiated Management

    Ep 214 Bridging the Gap in Endometriosis Care: Recognition, Risk Stratification, and ED-Initiated Management
    Feb 25 2026
    We walk you through what Emergency Physicians need to know to recognize, risk stratify, and manage endometriosis safely and pragmatically. We answer question such as: When should endometriosis rise to the top of the differential for pelvic pain? How do we distinguish an endometriosis flare from a dangerous endometriosis complication? from Pelvic Inflammatory Disease? Why hemorrhagic cyst the most common misdiagnosis for endometriosis and how can we tell the difference between hemorrhagic cyst and endometrioma? Which hormonal therapy is safe, reasonable and effective to start in the ED? What are the most common life-threatening complications of endometriosis we should be on the lookout for in the ED? How do we discharge patients with suspected endometriosis safely and reduce repeat visits? and many more...
