Raise a glass to the GRACE-4 guidelines. These are Guidelines for Reasonable and Appropriate Care in the Emergency Department (GRACE). The goal of GRACE is to focus on conditions for which there is wide variation in treatment, for which ED-focused clinical practice guidelines do not already exist, and for which patients have frequent ED revisits.

In this podcast we review both boarding and crowding, the twin kiss of death for an Emergency Department, with Dr. Kraftin Schreyer, an Emergency Medicine physician and ED Administrative Fellowship Director. We discuss boarding and how it can be prevented through surge planning, C-suite buy-in, and cooperation between the in-patient and ED. We then go on to talk about crowding and how it is often a kindred spirit of boarding, but can also exist independently. We discuss options for combating this crowding as well.

In this podcast we review the corporate practice of medicine- a touchy topic in Emergency Medicine. Over the last few decades, we have let these corporate agencies into our work environment, with sometimes disastrous results- termination without cause, overbilling, understaffing, just to name a few. Many of these corporate groups have taken heat of late for their shady dealings, but they are still out there, buying up EM physician groups across the country. In this two part podcast we review the history of the more well-known corporate medicine groups, Envision, and how many docs are taking a stand against their practices. In Part 1 we have Dr. Kenan Bouzida, a medical student at Tufts University reviewing the rise and fall of Envision. In Part 2 Kenan is joined by Dr. Bob McNamara, a man who has dedicated much of his life to fighting the corporate practice of medicine.

Status epilepticus is a clinical condition squarely in the wheelhouse of the Emergency Medicine physician. Here, we will discuss a recent article that asks an important clinical question: which induction agent should we use in RSI for those patients in status epilepticus that require intubation? We will subsequently discuss key ED management considerations for this neurologic emergency, including our approach to status epilepticus and intubation.

Ozempic and its class of medications, GLP-1 agonists, have take the media by storm. There is speculation all over Hollywood about which celebrities are and are not taking GLP-1 agonists. Seen by some as wonder weight loss drugs, these medications are so popular there are shortages nationwide. While these meds have an indication by the FDA for both diabetes and obesity, they are not without their side effects.
In this podcast we review the common GLP-1 agonists, their mechanism of action, and side effect profiles that might land a patient on such a med in the Emergency Department.

There are few things as scary in the Emergency Department as a crashing asthmatic. The stakes go even higher when we are talking about intubating asthmatics. In this podcast we are joined by Dr. Andrew Phillips, and ED intensivist and founder of the awesome board review suite EM Coach, to talk about staving off intubating in asthmatic patients, how to safely intubate them in the Emergency Department, and most importantly, how to manage them after the tube.

In the Emergency Department, we often have to initiate empiric antibiotic treatment for sick, undifferentiated patients. Cefepime and Piperacillin-Tazobactam (pip-tazo) are common antibiotic options for coverage of gram-negative organisms, such as pseudomonas. But is one better than the other?
In this podcast, we will critically appraise The ACORN Trial- an article that examines the risks of acute kidney injury and/or neurologic dysfunction in patients treated empirically with one of these antibiotics.

Anterior shoulder dislocations are common in the Emergency Department and let's face it, fun to fix. But this can be a time and resource intensive endeavor- especially if doing IV sedation. In this podcast we look at intraarticular analgesia as an alternative to IV sedation to allow for an awake shoulder reduction.

If you have not yet, check out Part 1 of Gender Equity in the Emergency Department with Dr. Kimon Ioannides where we talked about the role men play in moving toward gender equity in the ED.
In this podcast, we are joined by Megan Healy, an emergency medicine physician, who is the current Program Director at Temple University Emergency Medicine Residency program. Not only is she the Co-chair of the Women Faculty Committee at the medical school, but she has also done work at the national level within AAEM and the Women in Emergency Medicine (WiEM) Committee.
In our talk, we discuss the discomfort that can come from being in a position of privilege and having that privilege in the spotlight, our unknown unknowns which can include biases and how to overcome them, resources for those looking to get involved in the conversation and change culture, and the future of gender dynamics in the ED.

For a long time, medicine has been a "good ol' boys club" and in the areas of gender inequity, sexism, and patriarchy. This old way of thinking in medicine really does fall on the wrong side of history. Thankfully, we have made progress, but so much more work needs to be done. With the lay press and productions like the Barbie movie bringing patriarchy back into the spotlight, we thought it would be a good time to discuss gender (in)equity and Emergency Medicine mansplaining. We are joined by Kimon Ioannides to talk gender inequalities in Emergency Medicine.
