We then got some hands on time with the new hand held ultrasound machines that are now available on Air Care as well as reviewed pre-hospital management of traumatic pneumothoaces with Dr. Humphries.

Dr. Golden kicked grand rounds off this week with our monthly morbidity and mortality conference, followed by Dr. Lane’s deep dive on massive pulmonary embolism in cardiac arrest and how to approach this. Dr. Owens then gave us a detailed review on a probably-more-common-than-you-think parasite that has started popping up in the US, and our excellent ED pharmacists gave us a crash course on common antidotes to various poisonings, overdoses, and bites that we frequently see in the ED. Finally, Dr. Ham finished up with a review of the importance of chronic hypertension in our ED population and how we can make a difference especially those with limited access to care.

This week was filled with Ultrasound pearls, starting with our guest lecture from Dr. Avila (5minutesono) on ocular ultrasound.

Dr. Humphries then showed us how to perform a flawless consultation, and several residents presented interesting learning points from the recent ACEP conference in Denver. Finally, Dr. Gray gave us a thorough review on the pearls and pitfalls of pediatric sedation.
