    REBEL Cast Ep122 – Delayed vs Rapid Sequence Intubation in Agitated Trauma Patients

    Background: Getting a definitive airway in a critically ill trauma patient can be a stressful situation.  The potential for soiled airways, cervical spine injuries, maxillofacial injuries and head injuries combined with agitation/delirium, altered mental status and hypoxemia can make securing a definitive airway both an anatomic and physiologic challenge. Traditional RSI entails preoxygenation followed by ...

    REBEL Core Cast 107.0 – Vertebral Osteomyelitis

    Take Home Points Clinical presentation is very nonspecific; evaluate all patients presenting with back pain for infectious risk factors. Baseline labs should not guide diagnosis, but may assist in later management. MRI is key to diagnosis, obtain this imaging in all patients who raise clinical suspicion Patients with hemodynamic instability and neurologic compromise warrant empiric ...

    REBEL Core Cast 108.0 – Angioedema

    Take Home Points: Airway management is paramount; expect a challenging intubation and consider controlling the airway early if there is apparent airway compromise. Understanding the cause of angioedema (mast cell vs. bradykinin mediated) helps dictate directed management. Urticaria and pruritus = MAST CELL mediated, which is treated like a standard allergic reaction. REBEL Core Cast ...

    REBEL Core Cast 109.0 – Na Channel Blocker Poisoning

    Take Home Points: In the context of poisoning, a “wide QRS” is anything greater than 100 milliseconds. A newly “wide QRS”, especially with hemodynamic instability, should prompt consideration of sodium channel blockade and not ventricular tachycardia. Treatment is guided by administration of sodium-bicarbonate. Recall that the resultant alkalemia driven by sodium-bicarbonate will shift potassium intracellularly. ...

    REBEL Core Cast 112.0 – Awareness During Paralysis

    Take Home Points: Dose your RSI meds correctly.  Reach for post-intubation sedation at the same time you are asking for your induction agent and paralytic.   Propofol is a great choice for post-intubation sedation, and if your patient becomes hypotensive do not be afraid of adding on a pressor!  REBEL Core Cast 112.0 – Awareness During ...

    REBEL Core Cast 113.0 – ACS Therapies and Management

    Take Home Points: All STEMIs should be loaded with dual antiplatelet therapy. Prasugrel (Effient) is avoided as there is an increase in bleeding complications if the patient requires a CABG. NSTEMI cases can be challenging to manage. Consult Cardiology early and use all available data. The appropriate medical treatment for ACS patients is as important ...
