REBEL Cast brings REBEL EM posts to life in audio form. We open with a clinical scenario and a focused clinical question, then critically appraise the study—key results, strengths, limitations, and what it means at the bedside. Every episode ends with actionable take-home points.

Background: POCUS has been touted as the stethoscope 2.0, a true game changer in patient care. There is no patient population that this statement should hold more true for, than in patients with undifferentiated shock (SBP <100mmHg or SI > 1). Everyone ...
Background: In the ED, POCUS has become one of the most important tools in discovering both the diagnosis and in the management of critically ill patients. cardiac arrest, is ultimately as sick as a person can get in the spectrum of ...
