Welcome to the first episode of Practical Evidence, a podcast about the evidence you NEED to know but may not have time to read.
EMCrit 68 – Live Show # 1
The first ever live EMCrit Podcast
EMCrit 67 – Tranexamic Acid (TXA), Crash 2, & Pragmatism with Tim Coats
One of the most exciting and underutilized therapies for trauma is tranexamic acid (txa).
EMCrit Wee – More on C-Spine Imaging
A response to a question on c-spine imaging
Guest Post: More from Minh Le Cong on Needle Cricothyrotomy
Oxygenation with a needle cricothyrotomy based technique:
EMCrit Wee: The Lewis Lead and a course in ECGs with Christopher Watford
The Lewis Lead (S5) allows you detect atrial activity that cannot be discerned on the standard 12-lead
EMCrit 66 – …Until they are warm and dead: Severe Accidental Hypothermia
It is winter and that means cardiac arrests coming in with extremely low body temperatures after environmental exposure. How do you treat these patients? How do you rewarm if you don’t have bypass?
EMCrit 65 – A Primer on BVM Ventilation with Reuben Strayer
Today I want to talk about proper ventilation with a Bag-Valve-Mask, aka the BVM. I am joined by my friend Reuben Strayer, MD of EM Updates. You’ll see Reub’s talk from this year’s EMCrit ED Critical Care Conference and hear some of my thoughts as well.
EMCrit 64 – Dominating the Vent: Part I
When I was a resident, every vent lecture either put me to sleep or left me dazed and bewildered. I gave a lecture of that ilk when I started working after fellowship–I had become part of the problem. I decided there must be a way to make vent management more understandable and if not interesting, at least bearable.
More on a Diagnostic Strategy for C-Spine Injuries
Podcast 63 set off some expected controversy given my take that plain films are a dead imaging modality for c-spine injuries. I wanted to briefly outline my impression of the existing evidence:
EMCrit 63 – A Pain in the Neck – C-Spine Imaging and Clearance
In this episode, I discuss the diagnosis of c-spine injuries. I argue that we should not send patients to imaging unless we have used the NEXUS rule and then added the Canadian C-spine Rule to the sequence. If we are imaging, it should be with a 3-view reconstructed CT scan. And even after that is done, you still need a clearance exam before removing the collar.
EMCrit Podcast – Hard Six – My Picks from 2011

EMCrit 62 – Needle vs. Knife II: Needle Thoracostomy (Decompression)?
In this podcast, I explain why I don’t think needle compression is such a clever idea. Main points are: most people can’t find anterior target, most angiocaths won’t reach, and if used diagnostically you may not be in the pleura leading to an unidentified pneumo or hemothorax. Also, when used diagnostically, if the chest was negative you just caused a pneumothorax.
EMCrit 61 – Debate: Paralytics for ICU Intubations?
I recently spoke at a symposium at the Greater NY Hospital Assoc’s with the title: Controversies in Critical Care. I debated Paul Mayo, MD on the topic of whether paralytics should be used for ICU emergent intubations. Of course, I took the pro side of the debate. Dr. Mayo based his con side on an amazing study that came out of his ICU at LIJ hospital in NY.
