Grand Rounds Recap 03.13.24
Another great week of Grand Rounds! We started with optimizing our wet reads on MSK xrays then moved into a victorious CPC win in the diagnosis of giant cell artertitis with a patient presenting with CN VI palsy and diplopia. We then discussed the tips and tricks for hernia reduction before hearing a moving story of a harrowing AirCare transport for ECMO cannulation. We moved into R3 small groups covering obstetrics and labor from mother to newborn and finished off with our pediatrics team visiting to discuss emergent cardiac conditions.
SQuID Protocol for DKA: Impact on ED Length-of-Stay
With the advent of fast-acting subcutaneous insulin analogs over the past 20 years, multiple studies have demonstrated that subcutaneous insulin protocols for treatment for treatment of mild-to-moderate severity DKA are safe and cost-effective when compared to intravenous insulin infusion protocols in non-ICU settings. In the context of increasing ED and hospital crowding as well as limited ICU availability, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of a subcutaneous insulin (SQuID) protocol in the treatment of DKA on emergency department length-of-stay (EDLOS) and ICU admissions

We had another exciting week of Grand Rounds! We covered topics including our new hypoglycemia protocol with Drs.

We finished strong with a lecture from our program director Dr. McDonough talking about her take on wellness in residency!
