HIV in the ED: The 3 AM Questions You Actually Care About
HIV shows up in the ED in more ways than we realize — from needle sticks to acute retroviral syndrome to the patient who quietly screens positive on routine labs. And at 3 am, the questions that matter aren’t abstract pathophysiology but the practical ones: When do I start PEP? How do I not miss acute HIV? Should I really be starting treatment from the ED? Join Dr. Hoeflinger as she breaks down what every emergency physician needs to know to diagnose, treat, and counsel patients with confidence through 10 FAQs about HIV.
Two‑Bag Triumph? What the Evidence Really Shows in Diabetic Ketoacidosis Care
Diabetic ketoacidosis is a familiar ED diagnosis, but the best fluid strategy is still up for debate. Many of us default to the traditional one‑bag system, even though it can be slow to adjust and prone to glucose swings. This new meta‑analysis compares one‑bag versus two‑bag DKA management across adults and children, examining hypoglycemia rates, time to resolution, and operational impact. Join Dr. Knudsen-Robbins as she breaks down what the evidence shows — and whether the two‑bag system truly offers a clinical edge.
Real-Time Echo Intelligence: Can AI Match or Beat Human Eyes?
Point‑of‑care echo is fast, powerful—and famously operator‑dependent. Most of us rely on quick visual impressions because precise measurements take time we often don’t have. This new study puts three automated, real‑time AI tools to the test, comparing their ejection fraction, VTI, and IVC assessments against an expert’s read. Join Dr. Sookdeo as she breaks down how well the algorithms performed and what this could mean for the future of bedside echo.
