Grand Rounds Recap 9/14
This week we had a special visit from Dr. Darren Braude from the University of New Mexico Department of Emergency Medicine to speak on special topics in airway management. He introduced us to the idea of Rapid Sequence Airway (RSA) and other novel thoughts on extraglottic devices. We then had a chance to dive in to our regularly scheduled program with topics ranging from tuberculosis to ED operations to complex febrile seizure. Enjoy!

The facial surgery literature, however, does not have extensive publications addressing the use of antibiotics in open facial fractures. So what are we to do? Does every fracture get antibiotics? If not, which fractures?
