My series of tubes to help with paracentesis drainage. I was able to get 8L out of this patient with no intervention needed to change out bottles. I hope others are using this time saving trick! Don't worry, a tech was watching it the whole time to monitor for complications

Humeral IO great flow rate 5L/hr, fluid reaches heart in 3 seconds, ⬇️ insertion/infusion pain. Use yellow 45mm needle as blue can be short in 50% of patients https://buff.ly/2JNUmh7

Obese patient and shooting for tibia? Again consider yellow https://buff.ly/2JOaxLl #medsky #emsky #foamed #meded

Nonopioid pharmacologic treatment options for symptomatic treatment of opioid withdrawal. Great to consider when patients are coming in to the dept in withdrawal. Also consider giving buprenorphine, but only if in mild withdrawl. #EMSky #FOAMed #medsky #ansky #painsky #meded

1-24% of acute pancreatitis can have splanchnic vein thrombosis (splenic, portal, and/or superior mesenteric veins). Treat the pancreatitis. Portal/SMV involvement (hepatic decompensation or bowel perfusion prob)? Consider anticoagulation Here is splenic vein thrombosis #emsky #medsky #foamed #meded
