AZEMCast is THE competitive emergency medicine podcast. The host, Dr. Aaron Leetch, moderates a panel of emergency physicians who will go head to head navigating a clinical case from the Ring Down to the Work Up to the Dispo. Panelists are awarded points for their approach to the case and their clinical application of evidence-based medicine. However, points are deducted for weak arguments or reliance on experience-based medicine. The panelist with the most point at the end of the case will win the opportunity to soapbox about whatever aspect of EM they are most passionate about. We hope this podcast will model the knowledge, skills and approach that will help you take the best care of your patients. Posts ≠ medical advice http://uanow.org/participate

AZEMCast Update

Tuesday Nov 30, 2021

Tuesday Nov 30, 2021

Hi all,

 
Unbeknownst to me, last month was our 100th episode! And after 100 episodes of mid-quality, EM goodness, we’re gonna take a semi-deserved vacation and hiatus from the podcast. We’re hoping to regroup and come back with bigger and better content for your eager EM ears.
 
Happy Holidays all!

Sunday Oct 31, 2021

Sunday Oct 31, 2021

Happy October everyone!

 
This month we take a pause from the competitive format to ponder the question: to PanScan or not to PanScan? Recently we had an exceptional conference lecture by Dr. Garrett Pacheco and Dr. Adam Nelson addressing all of the reasons why and why not. Such an excellent talk need sot be spread broadly. No points this time around but the debate style is still in effect. Enjoy!

July AZEMCast - The Approach to Sepsis Alerts

Saturday Jul 31, 2021

Saturday Jul 31, 2021

Happy July everyone!

 
Welcome to the new interns. You’re gonna get quite familiar with all the nuances of the electronic medical record system but none quite as much as sepsis alerts. We dig deep into those questions you want to know about sepsis alerts like:
 
Q: Are they good or bad for your patient? 
A: Yes.
 
Q: Are we overcalling the disease or finally getting it under control? 
A: Sure
 
Q:Are they annoying or necessary? 
A: Definitely!
 
As a primer, Dr. Brian Drummond, Dr. Chris Williams and I give you some background, evidence, explanation and heavy opinion on why we have these alerts and what they mean for your patients and your ED flow.
