    Push Dose Pearls: Naloxone

    This is the next episode of our Push Dose Pearls miniseries with ED Clinical Pharmacist, Chris Adams. In this ongoing series we’ll dig into some of the questions we all have about medications we commonly see and use in the ED. This episode focuses on naloxone. Naloxone is a staple in every ED docs toolbox but it can save more lives if it’s immediately available in the community. We’ll discuss ED based naloxone programs, why they are important, how to get funding, and which patients could benefit.  Do you give out naloxone in your ED? Is it readily available in your community? We’d love to hear your experience.

    Sent to the ED

    Many of our ED patients come in because they were told to. Whether it’s by an advice nurse, primary care provider, urgent care, call center, specialty coordinator, etc., it often feels to us like the default is “go to the ED”. But, of course, that’s not the case. There are myriad reasons why patients may be sent to the ED. In this episode, we talk with two of our favorite outpatient physicians - a Pediatrician and an Internist - about when and why they refer patients to the ED, as well as what they do to try to keep them out of the ED!  Did you learn something new? Please share this podcast with your colleagues!

    OB in the ED: what would ACOG do?

    Managing pregnant patients in the ED can be stressful - especially because you have (at least) two patients to think about! Emergency physicians are generally comfortable managing first trimester emergencies but are less familiar with complications in the later stages of pregnancy. It is these complications that contribute in part to the maternal health crisis in the US. In this episode, we delve into the realm of obstetric emergencies in the ED with Dr. Jenna White, an EM physician with a special interest in OB. She introduces us to resources developed by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) to help ED providers identify common pathologies and navigate high-stakes scenarios, including screening for cardiovascular disorders, managing hypertension, and tackling the dreaded eclampsia. How does your ED manage OB emergencies? Have you implemented the ACOG algorithms?
