We need to think about perfusion when we think about shock. This case illustrates it. It doesn’t have to be sepsis, it just needs to be hypoperfusion. #emergencymedicine #shock

The patient with acute onset atrial fibrillation may benefit from earlier cardioversion within the 48 hours onset period. #atrialfibrillation

How do you remove nasal foreign bodies in kids. This little device( no interest to declare) I’ve found to be very useful. I wouldn’t use it in the ear if you don’t have a clear view of the tympanic membrane. #emergencymedicine

How do you treat hyperkalaemia? There’s a bit of confusion out there with recent studies challenging what we’ve been doing. We also know that the evidence for much of what we do is not great. The ECG has been used as a predictor of severity but it doesn’t always show changes.

Do you use POCUS in Cardiac Arrest? We’re using it on various levels. We can use it to identify reversible causes such as pericardial tamponade. We can use it to confirm asystole or ‘PEA’ because we know that a significant number of patients with these diagnoses actually have

EMCORE London in 2026 is at the historic Royal Institution, home to the BBC Christmas Lectures and some of the most famous scientists of the last 200+ years. Faraday spoke in 1800 on electromagnetism, Thomson spoke about the concept of the electron. In 2026 leaders in Trauma, in

I've just put this short (14 minute) podcast on EM Mastery. The comatose, Post ROSC patient following an OHCA, is well known to us in the Emergency Department. We should manage these patients through distinct phases of: Intitial Stabilisation Optimisation Diagnosis As per

EMCORE Sydney 2025 was a great conference full of learning. Here are just a little of what was covered. 1.POCUS in CARDIAC ARREST Ask 3 questions in cardiac POCUS, to simplify everything: Is there cardiac activity? Is there a pericardial effusion? Is RV > LV? Use the COACHRED

POCUS during cardiac arrest can change everything! The Focused Echocardiographic Evaluation in Life support (FEEL) study showed that 38% of patients with asystole on ECG, and 58% of patients in PEA, had coordinated cardiac motion associated with increased survival. #resuscitation

I recently reviewed this interesting paper on resuscitative hysterostomy. Resuscitative Hysterotomy, previously known as perimortem caesarean section, is performed in patients of > 20 weeks gestation, in cardiac arrest, with no immediate response to resuscitation. Our goal

I've just posted a review on EM Mastery on this management of hyperkalaemia paper. The heterogeneity of the studies, the massively long periods it takes for the interventions to work and the relative ineffectiveness of Ca ++ and Bicarb. Lets beware, how we interpret this study.
