A subset of intubated patients can safely be extubated in the emergency department (ED). The emergency medicine provider should be prepared for both common and life-threatening complications if...
Dr. Wright @brianjwrightmd on extubation in the ED: Patient selection is key! Monitoring is critical. Make sure the process that led to intubation is reversed. When in doubt, leave the tube in. #EMConf #FOAMed @StonyBrookEM 1/

.@Chidi_MD take homes: avoid a bridge to nowhere - make sure you have a resuscitation plan - titrate down FiO2, use POCUS in shock, don't drown your patient w fluid, consider whether you have reached 'resuscitative futility' #DevEM2022

The last 2 weeks have been ridiculous. The day after #Uzalde, I had 6 gunshot victims in 3 hours. I was not surprised but I was not prepared. We owe our patients and their families more than “thoughts and prayers.” Check our article… @ResusOne

How many more mass shootings need to happen before common-sense gun safety reform is seen as an absolute necessity? How many more lives needs to be lost before gun violence is truly viewed as a public health issue/emergency?

I’m not superstitious but I will be requesting off every Friday the 13th from now. Because I don’t know what kind of mess I just experienced in the ER tonight…

Can someone explain to me why an individual needs to be handcuffed when brought to the ER as a patient, AFTER they’ve already been shot and incapacitated by the police? Is that protocol?
