The TRAUMOX2 trial was an open-label pragmatic, international randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate whether a restrictive oxygen strategy targeting lower oxygen saturation reduces death and/or major respiratory complications compared with a liberal oxygen strategy in adult trauma patients.
In this episode of REBEL Cast, we dive into part one of our Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) series with a twist—subcutaneous insulin instead of the traditional IV drip. We explore the SQuID Protocol (Subcutaneous Insulin in DKA), which could potentially shift ...
Emergency medicine physicians were trailblazers during the opioid epidemic, and now we have the same opportunity with alcohol use disorder (AUD). Treating AUD deserves the same attention we give to opioid overdose, diabetic ketoacidosis, or hypertensive emergencies. Even when alcohol ...
Each year, about 1 in 7 men and 1 in 11 women in the United States meet criteria for alcohol use disorder (AUD)—affecting nearly 29 million people, roughly the entire population of Texas. Patients with AUD face staggering health risks: ...
When you take the airway, you take the wheel and you now control the patient’s oxygenation and ventilation. In this REBEL Crit episode, Dr. Lodeserto and Dr. Acker walk through the physiology, ventilator strategies, and clinical curveballs that separate calm ...
PECARN has been THE decision rule for guidance on management of kids with head injuries, but the Infant Scalp Score dives even deeper—built just for babies with scalp hematomas. Which rule is best in this situation?
Procalcitonin is a protein that is upregulated during inflammatory states. An elevation in procalcitonin should be specific to bacterial infections. Viral infections should result in decreased procalcitonin levels thus allowing us to differentiate bacterial from viral and help guide antibiotic ...
Mechanical ventilation can feel overwhelming, especially when faced with a sea of ventilator modes and unfamiliar terminology. In Part 2 of the series, we go beyond breath types and delivery mechanics to explore the most used modes in the ICU. ...
In this special episode of Rebel Cast, we spotlight the Incrementum Conference in Spain, a significant event in emergency medicine. Hosts welcome Dr. Francisco 'Paco' Campillo Palma and Dr. Carmen Maria Cano, founders of Incrementum, to discuss the recognition of ...
For many medical residents, the ICU can feel like stepping into a pressure cooker. At the heart of that stress often lies one intimidating machine: the ventilator. Rather than diving headfirst into complex ventilator modes, this episode lays a critical ...
