It was a stellar week here at UCEM Grand Rounds! We kicked off the day with a lecture from our colleague at CCHMC, Dr. Dean, about management of pediatric airways. We then transitioned to a review of landmark studies in EM, specifically with regards to targeted and systemic thrombolysis for MI, stroke, and PE. We continued our day by discussing evidence based medicine and the implementation of this in the prehospital setting with EMS faculty, Dr. Richards. Next, Drs. de Castro and Thompson faced off in an epic battle of CPC where we covered the diagnosis and management of euglycemic DKA. This was then followed by Dr. Vaughan’s R1 diagnostics and therapeutics lecture on pneumothoracies. Finally, we wrapped up the day with Dr. Gillespie’s R4 capstone lecture.
