A big part of my work in EM education is helping trainees step up & one of the biggest jumps is to registrar so we now have a course for that! See Josh's video below for more info!

Rant #5 Please don't tell me what the PaO2 is...

Less experienced critical care staff members are frequently exercised by arterial blood gas PaO2 readings.

What is the SpO2 I genially ask? In our target range? Well that's fine then.

Staff member shifting uneasily, "but the PaO2..."

Here we go...
Over the years I've developed a number of "rants" (aka teaching) that seem to resonate with trainees on #ICUsky ward round.

This pedogogical style might make educationalists wince but keeps me and (crucially) trainees, interested

Interested in any counter rants, refined rants or rant affirmation

Skytorial: can you crack the case?

A middle-aged healthy patient undergoes colonoscopy under propofol sedation.

Colonoscopy is unremarkable.

Post-procedure, the patient doesn't wake up and has rhythmic movements involving the legs as shown here.

Labs are normal.

What might be going on?

Interesting talk on EVALI at #ACEMASM24. We always ask about smoking hx but do you ask vaping hx?
For pts p/w seizure etc…

Tricky is lack of consistency in nicotine content & knowing what equivalent they’re inhaling.

Also learned there’s one called “cowboy killer” 🤦🏻‍♂️ #medsky #emimcc

That fresh feeling where you review your feed and find geeky meducational posts instead of whatever 🐕💩 the algorithm has been spitting out.
My first skytorial:

Four pearls on the diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis!

When to suspect rhabdo includes:

- hyperthermia
- status epilepticus
- crush injury
- extreme exertion (marathon)
- found down
- compartment syndrone
- kidney injury of unknown etiology

First post on a new social media platform is like writing on the first page of a fresh Moleskine notebook…you aim for something profound but really it’s just “new platform, who ‘dis?”
