Minh’s New Airway Lecture
EMCrit 72 – Severe Pelvic Trauma
Hemodynamically unstable pelvic fractures are a talk-and-die situation. These folks require aggressive, rapid treatment if they are going to survive the injury. Inspired by my mentor, Thomas Scalea, I discuss the management of the unstable pelvic trauma patient.
EMCrit 71 – Critical Questions on Massive Transfusion Protocols with Kenji Inaba
Today, I got to interview Kenji Inaba; an incredibly prolific trauma surgeon from LA County, California.
EMCrit 70 – Airway Management with Rich Levitan
Rich Levitan is one of the best teachers on the skills of airway management and laryngoscopy–or as he would probably put it, epiglottoscopy. Here is an hour long lecture he delivered last month at Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
EMCrit 69 – The Future of CPR with Keith Lurie and Demetris Yannopoulos
Drs. Keith Lurie and Demetris Yannopoulos elaborate on the future of CPR
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 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 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.
