Happy July everyone!   Welcome to the new interns. You're gonna get quite familiar with all the nuances of the electronic medical record system but none quite as much as sepsis alerts. We dig deep into those questions you want to know about sepsis alerts like:   Q: Are they good or bad for your patient?  A: Yes.   Q: Are we overcalling the disease or finally getting it under control?  A: Sure   Q:Are they annoying or necessary?  A: Definitely!   As a primer, Dr. Brian Drummond, Dr. Chris Williams and I give you some background, evidence, explanation and heavy opinion on why we have these alerts and what they mean for your patients and your ED flow.   The AZEMCast Team  Email: aleetch@aemrc.arizona.edu Twitter: @arizonaemcast   https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/arizona-emcast/id685439303?mt=2 https://azemcast.podbean.com/feed/

Well, it's March, everyone! Since there is nothing but COVID-19 coverage everywhere you look, we at AZEMCast are going to do the opposite. We are going to finish the marathon procedural sedation coverage we started last year with a TWO-PART Peer Review from Drs. Clay Josephy and Dr. Mike McLaughlin. We are not covering COVID-19 for several reasons. Partially to give you something different. Partially because we already have this recorded. But mostly because we know NOTHING about COVID-19 worth recording.  Keep your heads up!

Happy June everyone! June is the end of an era for us in academics. We say goodbye to our seniors and welcome another crop of interns to the fold. To our seniors, thank you for your exceptional work over the years. We are proud to have worked with you and are excited to see what you accomplish in your careers. To our interns, welcome to the family. We are eager to work with you and see you transform into amazing emergency physicians. Ok, enough of the sappy melodrama, on to the pus. And not just any pus, this month we focus on the pus that dare not speak its name. The pus down below. Butt pus. From pilonidal cysts to perianal abscesses to bartholin gland abscesses, we cover the down and dirty of how to care for some serious infection in sensitive areas. We even sometimes manage to do it with a straight face and a professional demeanor! So strap on your face shields and breathe through your mouth for this month's episode of AZEMCast.

Happy May everyone!   We conclude our saga of 90’s EBM nostalgia with a look at the recent PECARN article that proposes a new method for the evaluation of the febrile neonate. Dr. Chan Lowe and I continue the discussion with a deep dive into the study and a deep discussion of what it means for clinical practice. They always say you never want to be the first or the last to adopt new evidence into your practice. But this is a truly unique situation where a decades old paradigm of EM and pediatric practice is really made anew. Now that it’s out there, what are you going to do about it?   This and more on this month's AZEMCast.   The AZEMCast Team   Peer Review by Dr. Anna McFarlin   Email: aleetch@aemrc.arizona.edu Twitter: @arizonaemcast   https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/arizona-emcast/id685439303?mt=2 https://azemcast.podbean.com/feed/

Happy February everyone!   First, congrats to the residents who just finished their in-training exam!     Second, the four words every healthcare provider fears: Does this look infected? Is it oozing? Are you gonna send me a picture? Skin and soft tissue infections are a common complaint from patients and co-workers alike (ahem, Ryan) but it never looks like it does in the book. That’s why we have thrown out the book (doesn’t translate well on an audio podcast anyway) and gathered a panel of experts to discuss the diagnosis of the ITIS. With our typical AZEMCast taste and decorum, we discuss the fun part of staring at a stranger’s red skin and making a gues . . . I mean, diagnosis.   The AZEMCast Team   Email: aleetch@aemrc.arizona.edu Twitter: @arizonaemcast   https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/arizona-emcast/id685439303?mt=2https://azemcast.podbean.com/feed/  

Happy November everyone! If you're like me, you love Thanksgiving and you start drooling at the sight of turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. However, if that drooling is associated with vomiting, miosis and altered mental status, then someone may have spiked your mashed potatoes. But have no fear because toxicologist extraordinaire, Dr. Frank Walter and his Advanced Hazmat Life Support wisdom is here to save the day from your cholinergic crisis. With tips, tricks and an abundance of compliments, Dr. Walter walks us through a real case of organophosphate toxicity complete with a literature review of the management. So have a second helping of atropine and enjoy this month's episode of AZEMCast.

Happy October Everyone!   With the dangers of pharyngitis covered last month, Brian and I have left the scariest sore throat of them all to now. It’s a disease that strikes without warning, leaves a wake of decimated organs behind it . . . but is pretty easily defeated by penicillin. The fearsome, the horrific . . . Strep Throat!    Ok, it’s not that exciting, but it is common. SUPER common. And everyone will ask you about it for the rest of your career. So are you gonna test? Are you gonna treat? Are you gonna take the time to talk to patients about what will actually make them feel better? That and more on this month’s episode of AZEMCast.   The AZEMCast Team   Email: aleetch@aemrc.arizona.edu Twitter: @arizonaemcast   https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/arizona-emcast/id685439303?mt=2https://azemcast.podbean.com/feed/
