all types of bradykinin-mediated angioedema involve a common vicious spiral 👇
tranexamic acid or aminocaproic acid should be universally effective in blocking this cycle & aborting attacks
there's no need for super-expensive drugs (icatibant et al.)

Syncope is common in the ED—but which decision rule do you trust?
⚡ San Francisco Syncope Rule = fast but fallible
🧩 Canadian Syncope Risk Score = comprehensive but complex

four-factor PCC had clotting factors & *also* endogenous anticoagulants (protein C & S, antithrombin III)
that’s why PCC doesn’t cause as much thrombosis: it’s rebuilding the coagulation cascade rather than purely functioning as a pro-thrombotic
(& Adnexanet alfa price is insane)
-ANNEXA-1: No mortality benefit, incr VTE
-Real world data: Rech 2025 (PMID:40700941) no improved outcomes, 9% incr VTE w/ andexanet alfa (NNH = 11)
Mounting evidence that andexanet offers no benefit while increasing complications

Together, we can help raise awareness about the importance of vaccination. Many patients express interest in receiving vaccines when they are offered in the ER, creating a valuable opportunity for engagement with EM pharmacists!

I updated the IBCC & explained what happened here emcrit.org/ibcc/gib/#va...
We probably don't need antibiotics at all🤦♂️
Nice illustration of how meta-analyses can be fragile (even Cochrane) emcrit.org/pulmcrit/meta/ #EMIMCC

Are you using PERC and Wells correctly?
✅ Start with Wells to guide next steps
🚫 Don’t use PERC in moderate/high-risk
🧪 Use high-sensitivity D-dimer!

PMID:39674935 ketamine > no drug after midaz failed(flawed study)
PMID:40186980 midaz/ket > midaz. But, kids seized 34 min prior to meds, very low rate of sz break w/ midaz
Consider ketamine after 2 doses BZD fail but evidence weak

-K < 3.5: replete prior insulin
-K 3.5-5.5: start insulin + K repletion simultaneously
-Skip bolus: no faster DKA resolution but incr risk hypoK
