You swooping? With videoscope, stylet tip should go down, horizontal, up. People often don't go posterior enough, so don't have room to rotate anterior toward vocal cords. Swoop! #EMsky #emergencymedicine #FOAMed @joshkimbre.bsky.social @mdaware.org

Here’s the answer 👇
Hyperinflated lungs with flat diaphragms suggest emphysema.Triangular opacity over the cardiac shadow plus increased left upper zone lucency gives the sail sign of left lower lobe collapse with left upper lobe hyperexpansion.

Stop using steroids to pretreat contrast allergy!
The CAR/CSACI Practice Guidance for Contrast Media Hypersensitivity #FOAMed

Stop using steroids to pretreat contrast allergy! (CAR/CSACI Practice Guidance for Contrast Media Hypersensitivity)

I have spent a lot of time summarizing the evidence and trying to dispel myths when it comes to contrast and kidney injury. (Bottom line: we have massive amounts of evidence, and in controlled studies with modern contrast agents, we cannot find even the smallest hint of harm from contrast.) However, there is another persistent aggravation when it comes to ordering contrast CTs: allergies and arcane allergy protocols.
