FOAMed has changed emergency medicine by accelerating knowledge translation. But there’s a downside: when learning is driven mostly by what’s new—or what’s popular—you can develop uneven foundational knowledge.
That’s why we created REBEL Core. While REBEL EM will continue to critically appraise new research, REBEL Core is dedicated to the core concepts that support great bedside care across the entire spectrum of emergency medicine and critical care—not just the headline areas like ECGs, ultrasound, resuscitation, and procedures.
Our goal is to help you build a strong, complete foundation—so you can apply both classic principles and new evidence with confidence.
Consults aren’t a formality—they’re a patient-care intervention. In this post, Swami breaks down how to call a consult in the ED using a simple 4-step framework (introduce yourself, lead with the ask, give a focused summary, and close the loop), ...
Corticosteroids have long sparked debate in the treatment of bacterial pneumonia — once viewed with skepticism, now increasingly supported by high-quality evidence. In this episode, Dr. Alex Chapa joins the REBEL Core Cast team to explore how the 2023 Cape ...
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) refers to respiratory support provided without endotracheal intubation. The most common modalities include continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP), and high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC). These therapies aim to improve oxygenation, reduce the work ...
This episode reviews essential ventilator pressures and how to interpret them during ICU rounds.
Ventilator management can feel overwhelming—there are so many knobs to turn, numbers to watch, and changes to make. But before adjusting any settings, it’s crucial to understand why the patient is in distress in the first place, because the right ...
Welcome to the Rebel Core Content Blog, where we delve into crucial knowledge for emergency medicine. Today, we share insightful tips from PEM specialist Dr. Elise Perelman, shedding light on respiratory challenges in infants, toddlers, and young children during the ...
The QT interval is a vital part of ECG interpretation, reflecting the heart’s electrical recovery after each beat. When prolonged, it can set the stage for torsades de pointes. Understanding how to measure and correct the QT interval, identify high-risk ...
In this episode of the Rebel Core Content podcast, Swami provides crucial tips on using tourniquets. Highlighting the significance of these life and limb-saving devices, the discussion focuses on the optimal placement of tourniquets, emphasizing placing them 2-3 inches (5-6 ...
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 ...
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. ...
