#FOAMed Review 18th Edition
Michael Macias
Welcome to the eighteenth edition of the #FOAMed Review! The idea of the FOAMed review is to give you a digestible selection of reliable content from the online EM/CC world that you can fit into your busy weekly schedule. Each review will include highlights from the highest yield blog, podcast, video and web sources around. Over a year's span we will be sure to include topics from all core EM content areas...even the ones that may not be the coolest. Check out our indexing section #FOAMED REVIEW which allows you to view previous weekly reviews by edition or by selecting from CORD curriculum categories.
Onto the FOAMed.
THE NEUROCRITICAL AIRWAY [PODCAST]: Excellent lecture from SMACC series on all aspects of airway management in the sick neuro patient. This is well accompanied by a previous post from EM Crit on intubating the patient with elevated ICP.
PREGNANCY ULTRASOUND PART II [VIDEOCAST]: Able to tell a normal pregnancy from an abnormal one on US? Part II of the Ultrasound Podcast series will help.
HEPARIN IN STEMI [BLOG]: A nice discussion of the evidence behind the Class I AHA recommendation for noninvasive management of NSTEMI...oh wait there isn't any.
ARE FEMORAL CENTRAL LINES DIRTY?[BLOG]: HQ Med Ed reviews the literature behind our fear of the dirty femoral line... turns out they may not be as suspect as we thought.
More FOAMed.
