ACEP Frontline - Emergency Medicine Ryan A. Stanton MD, FACEP

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Sean Michael, Regional Chief Medical Officer for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. We discuss EMTALA as a tool for emergency departments and EM physicians to facilitate the management, acceptance, and transfer of behavioral health patients. We often see EMTALA as a barrier, but we discuss how it can be used to better serve your patients.

In this special episode of the podcast, we hear from Dr. Annalise Sorrentino with a 2024 PEM evidence update. This talk is geared towards ensuring all emergency physicians are ready when a pediatric patient presents to our ED.

In this episode, we talk with Dr. William Weber about the management of allergic reactions in the emergency department. There are often "cocktails" that many order, but the key is still early epinephrine. We chat about the approach, timing, and disposition.
