EDs in Different Parts of the World but the Same Stories
​BY TIM DEPP, MD​I spent two weeks in India and another two weeks at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Minnesota during my global health elective month. It was a great time to reflect on sustainability in developing world medicine and on my medical education and career goals.​Emergency medicine in India is still in its infancy. Some might say it's only just been conceived, still waiting to be born. India is growing incredibly in numerous sectors, and several universities, including George Washington University (GWU), have partnered with established hospitals there to grow the specialty. After completi...

Jellybean 061 with Craig Wylie of BadEM
Discussions in Emergency Medicine”. Sounds good. Is Good! It is conspicuous for the multiple different professionals that contribute; when I spoke to Craig BadEM had 3 paramedics, one medical student and one doctor. (That was Kat Evans; see Jellybean 044) Since then they have added another emergency physician with a strong cardiology interest and an paediatrician. This is a multi-disciplinary game after all. Emergency Medicine is a different beast in different countries and in South Africa it is a quite an impressive beast indeed. A big beast. With big teeth!. It is the trauma that we all hear about but the resources, t...

Research and Reviews in the Fastlane 182
This study was called LOV-ED. Initiation of a mechanical ventilation protocol in the ED using a low tidal volume strategy, PEEP protocols, rapid FiO2 weaning, and head-of-bed elevation resulted in dramatic clinical improvement in the composite primary outcome: ARDS or ventilator-associated conditions; NNT = 14. And a secondary outcome, mortality, was also improved, NNT = 7. There is no way to account for all the confounders or other process improvements that may have also led to better outcomes, but the use of propensity analysis makes this association very believable. REBEL EM has a great deep-dive on this article. Starti...
