  1. #207 Is There a Doctor on Board? In-Flight Emergencies

    3D AGO

    #207 Is There a Doctor on Board? In-Flight Emergencies

    We start with a gripping story of seizures and use it as a jumping-off point to unpack practical pearls for in-flight emergencies. Along the way: what’s actually in the emergency medical kit, when planes divert, how ground medical support works, altitude physiology, legal protections, and how to stay calm when medicine suddenly happens at 35,000 feet. By the end, you may still sweat a little…but hopefully less than before. 🔹Sponsor: Oakstone CME Use the code "CORE325" for 25% off: https://www.coreimpodcast.com/MKSAP  🔹Transcript and Shownotes:   04:40 | Emergency Medical Kit (EMK) Standard Contents 08:50 | Role of Ground-Based Medical Support & Flight Diversion Decision-Making 19:35 | Interpreting Hypoxia at Altitude 22:06 | In-Flight Liability 23:35 | Common Chief Concerns & Useful Additional Medications 24:53 | How to Be Resourceful in an Austere Environment Tags: CoreIM, Internal Medicine, Medical Education, In-flight Care, Medical Emergencies, Clinical Reasoning, Seizure Management, Hypoxia, Airway Management, Cardiac Emergency, Syncope, Respiratory Distress Find the best disability insurance for you: https://www.patternlife.com/disability-insurance?campid=497840 Our Sponsors: * Check out FIGS: https://wearfigs.com * Click for 15% off Premium Starter Kit at Branch Basics: https://branchbasics.com/COREIM Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    #203 POCUS for AKI & Dialysis | Real Cases That Changed Management

    A dialysis patient with a chronic cough: is it COPD, or are they still volume overloaded? A patient with AKI and hyperkalemia says they’re still peeing — does that rule out post-obstructive AKI? A patient arrives in the ED with uremic symptoms and a newly created AV fistula. Can you safely use it, or do you need to place a temporary dialysis catheter? And the classic inpatient dilemma: your heart failure patient looks better after diuresis, but the creatinine is rising. Is it time to stop, or should you keep going? 🔹Sponsor: Pain Management and Opioids Adaptive Learning Free Online Course by NEJM Group: https://cme-info.nejm.org/core-im/ See here for Neph Madness details  See here for the POCUS region of NephMaddness VOTE here to build your bracket! 🔹Transcript and Shownotes: 00:52 | What is NephMadness? 02:19 | Detecting post-renal obstruction in a patient who reported normal urination 11:26 | POCUS for discharge or continue diurese 17:25 | Distinguishing COPD from volume overload in a dialysis patient using lung ultrasound 23:55 | Assessing AV fistula maturity at the bedside to potentially avoid placing a temporary dialysis line Along the way, we discuss practical ways clinicians can use renal, lung, and venous ultrasound to clarify uncertain clinical situations and make faster decisions at the bedside.
