Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD Educational Pearls: How long do we need to watch patients with a presumed overdose who were treated with naloxone in the field? A 2025 study in the Annals of Emergency Medicine took a look at this question Methods Prospective, multi-institutional cohort study Included ED patients with suspected acute opioid overdose with biologic testing to confirm substances. This paper performed a secondary analysis evaluating the risk of "delayed intubation," defined as intubation occurring >4 hours after ED arrival. Results 1,591 patients with presumed opioid overdose were included. Delayed intubation occurred in only 9 patients (0.6%). 8 of the 9 cases had non-respiratory causes contributing to intubation. Only 1 patient had respiratory-related deterioration, presenting with respiratory acidosis after receiving 6.4 mg naloxone prior to intubation. Key Takeaway Delayed respiratory deterioration requiring intubation after 4 hours of ED monitoring is extremely rare, suggesting prolonged monitoring may not be necessary for most stabilized overdose patients. How else can we mitigate risk? Give patients take-home naloxone at discharge and educate them on how to use it (See Episode 673: Leaving the ED with Naloxone). When are naloxone drips necessary? If a patient requires repeated naloxone boluses, consider a drip To get the dose, take the total naloxone dose that restored adequate breathing and give two-thirds of that dose per hour Typically these patients are admitted to the ICU References McCabe DJ, Gibbs H, Pratt AA, Culbreth R, Sutphin AM, Abston S, Li S, Wax P, Brent J, Campleman S, Aldy K, Falise A, Manini AF; ToxIC Fentalog Study Group.

In this EMRA*Cast episode of Bridging Health and Humanity, host Natalie Hernandez speaks with Dr. Maya Yiadom, MD, MPH, MSCI, an associate professor and director of Precision Analytics and Data Integration in Emergency Medicine at Stanford, about how artificial intelligence is reshaping emergency care.  They discuss practical AI already in use (predictive analytics and ambient AI scribes), how AI can be designed from clinical workflows to improve detection and timeliness (for example, speeding recognition of STEMI), and the promise of tools that reduce documentation burden and support decision-making.  Dr. Yiadom also grapples with real risks — biased training data, subgroup performance, privacy and cloud constraints — and emphasizes protecting trainee learning while teaching residents how to use AI responsibly. She closes on an optimistic note: AI as a fail-safe that augments clinicians' judgment rather than replaces the human art of medicine.  

In the January 2026 episode of Critical Decisions in Emergency Medicine, Drs. Danya Khoujah and Wendy Chang discuss Rocky Mountain spotted fever and pediatric oncologic emergencies. As always, you'll also hear about the hot topics covered in the regular features, including ectopic atrial rhythm in The Critical ECG, a child with corneal clouding in Clinical Pediatrics, traumatic below-knee amputation in Orthopedics and Trauma, bladder rewarming for hypothermia in The Critical Procedure, highlights from the 2025 AHA guidelines for CPR and emergency cardiovascular care in The LLSA Literature Review, a boy with scrotal pain in The Critical Image, ketamine-midazolam for pediatric convulsive status epilepticus in The Drug Box, and arsenic toxicity in The Tox Box.

This week on Code WACK!, HEAL California's podcast on healthcare justice, we're digging into what happens when private investors buy hospitals and try to make them more profitable — and what that could mean for patient care. Guest: Dr. Renee Hsia (pronounced “Shaw”) — emergency physician at San Francisco General Hospital and Professor of Emergency Medicine and Health Policy at the University of California, San Francisco.

This episode of EM Pulse dives into a critical intersection of clinical practice: the overlap between objective evidence-based medicine and the subjective influence of implicit bias. In a special collaboration with Don't Forget the Bubbles (DFTB), we are joined by experts from across the globe to discuss a landmark study on how clinical decision rules—specifically the PECARN (Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network) imaging rules—impact disparities in pediatric trauma imaging. The Variables of Bias We often think of medical decision-making as a clean equation, but how much do factors like a patient's perceived race or ethnicity “creep” into our choices? The team explores the concept of equitable care—providing the best possible outcome regardless of factors outside a patient's control—and why awareness alone often isn’t enough to counteract the biases we all carry. Standardizing Equity: The Power of the Rule The core of this discussion centers on a prospective multicenter study titled “Perceived Race and Ethnicity on CT Use in Children with Minor Head or Abdominal Trauma.” * The Question: Do racial and ethnic disparities in CT use still exist in the “PECARN era”? The Twist: Why the researchers chose to look at clinician-perceived race rather than self-identification to capture what is actually happening in the provider's mind during a shift. The Finding: The guests discuss the surprising (and encouraging) results regarding how structured clinical rules can act as “equity builders.” A Global Perspective Bias isn’t just a local issue. With representation from UC Davis, UCSF, Children's National, and Athens, Greece, the panel looks at the international landscape of pediatric emergency care. They discuss: The barriers to implementing decision tools in different healthcare systems. The concept of “pediatric readiness” on a global scale. How these rules—originally developed in the U.S.—are being validated and adapted from Australia to Europe. Moving Beyond the “Black Box” While AI and machine learning are the buzzwords of the day, this episode highlights the beauty of “simple” statistical tools that are transparent and easy to use at the bedside. The guests share how they envision these findings changing their next shift—not by removing the “humanity” of the process, but by anchoring conversations with families in solid evidence. Check the Show Notes: We've included links to the original study and the companion blog post at Don't Forget the Bubbles, which features a deep dive into the data. You can also find the PECARN Pediatric Head Injury and Intra-abdominal Injury (IAI) rules on MDCalc to use on your next shift.   We want to hear from you!

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 247-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 34,020 on turnover of 14-billion N-T. The market closed higher on Monday, as the market reopened following its 11-day Lunar New Year holiday, but the gains were capped amid concerns over U-S tariff policies. Opposition calls for talks on format of Lai's legislative report Opposition parties are calling for cross-party negotiations over how President Lai Ching-te should deliver a national affairs report at the Legislative Yuan. The statement comes after Lai announced that he's willing to deliver (發表) a national affairs report at the Legislative Yuan "in accordance with constitutional procedures" following a meeting with the heads of the five branches of government at the Presidential Building. K-M-T and Taiwan People's Party lawmakers are seeking a question-and-answer format. Legislative Speaker Han Kuo-yu proposed a questions-first-answers-second format after Lai hosted the meeting - saying he invited the president to personally explain issues of concern to lawmakers. According to Han, Lai "gladly accepted" the invitation. Lunar New Year ER visits down as more clinics stay open, UCCs expand The Ministry of Health says visits to emergency rooms over the Lunar New Year period were down from last year as more clinics stayed open and urgent care centers expanded capacity. According to the ministry, data shows there were 232,397 visits to hospital ERs from February 14 to 21 - and that total was down by 22.5-per cent from the number of visits reported during the same holiday period of last year. Visits to the hospital ERs over the holiday period this year were closely watched after what happened last year - when ERs across Taiwan became so overcrowded that the Taiwan Society of Emergency Medicine called the situation "unprecedented (史無前例的)". The government spent 1.6-billion N-T in funding to encourage medical providers to stay open during this year's holiday. Trump threatens higher tariffs for countries who "play games" after Supreme Court ruled tariffs illegal US president Donald Trump has threatened (威逼) to put higher tariffs on countries that want to "play games" after a key U.S. Supreme Court tariff ruling. Kate Fisher report from Washington Canada Calls OpenAI Reps to Ottawa The Canadian government has called representatives of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI to Ottawa. The company says it considered but did not alert Canadian police about the activities of a person who months later committed one of the worst school shootings in the country's history. Canada's artificial intelligence minister says he expects the company's top safety representatives to explain its protocols and how it decides to forward cases to law enforcement when he meets with them today.

How can public health detect invisible threats before they become crises? In this episode, we explore two powerful approaches shaping the future of preparedness: wastewater surveillance and radiological emergency response.  First, Allison Wheeler, Manager, Wastewater Surveillance Unit Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment shares how her team detected measles in wastewater before clinical cases appeared, helping local partners identify an outbreak early and act quickly. She explains how wastewater surveillance is evolving beyond COVID-19 to monitor emerging and re-emerging diseases, track antimicrobial resistance, and strengthen early warning systems across communities.  Then, Dr. Ziad Kazzi, Professor of Emergency Medicine at Emory University and President of the American College of Medical Toxicology breaks down what a radiological incident really looks like, from accidental exposures to nuclear incidents, and why these events may be more manageable than many people assume. He discusses how mass gatherings, like global sporting events, prepare for rare but high-impact scenarios, the importance of detection and decontamination, and how health systems and emergency responders work together to protect both patients and communities.Subscribe | ASTHOMeeting Home PageMeeting Home Page

This episode is a masterclass in both men and women's hormonal health. These hormones in effect are the clocks of aging, so much so that biotech labs can now take a few data points, consult with AI and provide you with an almost exact time until major hormonal events like menopause. Which is crucially important because to optimize health and longevity the right type of hormonal support and treatment should be started years before that. This episode is for anyone wanting to understand how hormones are the backbone of overall health, aging slower, maintaining sexual function and looking younger for longer.Dr. Amy Killen, MD received her Bachelor's degree in Biomedical science from Texas A&M University and then her MD from UT Southwestern Medical School. She completed an Emergency Medicine residency at the University of Arizona. She worked for many years in Austin, Texas as a board-certified emergency physician before moving to Portland and becoming the medical director of an anti-aging specialty clinic. Now in Utah, Dr. Killen embraces bio-identical hormone therapy and personalized medicine and offers aesthetics services, including Botox, Fillers, and Microneedling.

Have you longed to integrate your Christian faith into your patient care—on the mission field abroad, in your work in the US, and during your training? Are you not sure how to do this in a caring, ethical, sensitive, and relevant manner? This “working” session will explore the ethical basis for spiritual care and provide you with professional, timely, and proven practical methods to care for the whole person in the clinical setting. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/qpah9kh1lttg6cm1jjop9/Bob-Mason-Ethics-of-Spiritual-Care-revised.pptx?rlkey=0emve2ja8282nv8xc4uinq1hg&st=9033htwx&dl=0

We've all seen it: the patient whose chart is “flagged” with a penicillin allergy, but when you dig into the history, the story doesn’t quite add up. Maybe it was a stomach ache in the 90s, or maybe they're just carrying a “inherited” allergy from a parent. In this episode of EM Pulse, we sit down with ED Clinical Pharmacist Haley Burhans to discuss why these labels are more than just a nuisance—they're a clinical liability—and how a simple tool can empower you to fix them on the fly. The Hidden Danger of the “Safe” Choice Choosing a non-beta-lactam antibiotic because of a questionable allergy label feels like the path of least resistance, but the data tells a different story. We explore how “playing it safe” can actually lead to: Worse Outcomes: Why second line antibiotics often mean higher treatment failure rates. The “Superbug” Factor: The surprising link between penicillin allergy labels and the rise of MRSA and VRE in our communities. The C. diff Connection: Why alternative choices might be setting your patient up for a much more difficult recovery. The Solution: The PEN-FAST Score How do you move from “I think this might not be a true allergy” to “I am confident this antibiotic is safe”? Haley introduces the PEN-FAST score, a validated scoring tool designed to risk-stratify patients based on a few key historical questions. The Mnemonic: We break down the PEN-FAST acronym so you know exactly which three questions to ask to risk-stratify your patient in seconds. IgE vs. The Rest: Learn to distinguish between the “true” dangerous hypersensitivity and the delayed reactions that shouldn’t stop you from using the best drug for the job. The “Amoxicillin Rash”: We dive into this common pediatric “gotcha.”, why many kids end up with a lifelong allergy label after a routine ear infection, and why it often has nothing to do with the drug itself. The Bottom Line: Patients with low PEN-FAST scores are considered low risk, making an oral challenge under observation in the ED a reasonable option. Higher scores may require shared decision-making or referral. Why the ED is the Perfect Place for a “Challenge” Delabeling isn’t just for the allergist’s office. We argue that the Emergency Department is actually the ideal setting to challenge these allergies. The “Oral Challenge”: Learn the practical steps for performing a trial dose in the department. Safety First: Why your environment and expertise make you uniquely qualified to handle the “what-ifs” better than anyone else. Key Takeaways Question the Label: The vast majority of reported penicillin allergies are inaccurate due to patients outgrowing the allergy or misinterpreting common side effects as allergic reactions. History is Everything: Dig deeper than just “rash.” Ask about the timing relative to the dose, specific appearance (hives vs. flat rash), and what treatment was required (epinephrine vs. antihistamines). Use PEN-FAST: Utilize this tool to objectify the risk. Document Tolerance: Even if you don’t fully delete the allergy label, if you successfully treat the patient with another beta-lactam (like ceftriaxone), document that tolerance clearly to aid future clinicians. Cephalosporins are likely safe: Later-generation cephalosporins generally have very low cross-reactivity and are usually safe options even in truly allergic patients How do you handle documented penicillin allergies?

In today's episode we speak to the 2026 EMC keynote speaker Dave Weber

Dr. Frank Peacock and Dr. Damon R. Kuehl join BioTalk for a focused discussion on one of emergency medicine's most persistent challenges: accurately diagnosing and predicting outcomes in mild traumatic brain injury. As Scientific Advisory Board members for BrainBox Solutions, Inc., they walk through what happens when a patient presents to the emergency department after a fall or sports injury and why current tools, including CT scans, often leave clinicians without clear answers. The conversation explores the gap between a "normal" scan and ongoing symptoms, and what missed or uncertain diagnoses can mean for patients weeks later.   Dr. Peacock outlines the HeadSMART II study and explains why combining blood biomarkers with neurocognitive testing provides a more complete assessment than biology alone. Dr. Kuehl discusses how multi-modal data, integrated through artificial intelligence, can generate an objective score to support real-time clinical decision-making and help identify patients at risk for persistent symptoms. The episode also highlights BrainBox's leadership, including CEO Donna Edmonds, a member of the BioHealth Innovation Board of Directors, and the company's role in advancing objective mTBI testing.   Editing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant (https://thepodcastconsultant.com).   Dr. W. Frank Peacock IV is Professor of Emergency Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. Chief Medical Officer at AseptiScope, and the founder of both a contract research organization called Comprehensive Research Associates, LLC and a medical education company named Emergencies in Medicine, LLC. Dr. Peacock received his medical degree from Wayne State University Medical School and completed his Emergency Medicine training at William Beaumont Hospital. He has >900 peer reviewed publications and is also the co-editor of multiple medical textbooks on heart failure, acute coronary syndromes, and traumatic brain injury.   Dr. Damon R. Kuehl is the Vice Chair of Research and Academic Affairs and Professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Virginia Tech, School of Medicine. He completed Medical School at University of Minnesota Medical School and his Emergency Medicine Residency at Stanford University. He has also completed residencies in Preventive Medicine and a Research Fellowship in the Center for Policy and Research in Emergency Medicine, at Oregon Health and Science University. Dr. Kuehl's research primarily focuses on diagnostic and prognostic uncertainty in brain injury. He is a lead investigator for HeadSMART II and for HeadSMART Geriatrics, a NINDS funded 3 year study to develop a diagnostic tool for head trauma in older adults.  He is the founder of the Carilion Brain Injury Center and also an investigator with the Virginia Tech Center for Biomechanics studying the boundary conditions associated with injuries in older adult falls.

🧭 REBEL Rundown 📌 Key Points The 4 Steps of an ED Consult:👋 Introduce yourself and your role🎯 Lead with the outcome (the ask)🧾 Give a focused case summary (why it’s theirs + what you’ve done)🔁 Close the loop (timeline, next steps, contingencies) Click here for Direct Download of the Podcast. 📝 Introduction Today we’re tackling one of the most important (and most under-taught) skills in emergency medicine: how to call a consult in the ED and what to do when a consultant pushes back.To call a consult in the ED, start with a brief introduction, lead with the outcome you need (“the ask”), give a focused decision-relevant summary, and close the loop with timeline and next steps. If the consultant resists, clarify the “why,” restate the ask, offer alternatives, and escalate when patient safety or disposition is at risk.After two decades in emergency medicine and countless consult calls, here’s a simple framework—plus copy/paste scripts—to make your consults faster, clearer, and easier to say “yes” to. 🤔 Why Consult Skills Matter in Emergency Medicine Consults aren’t a formality—they’re a patient-care intervention. Strong consult communication:Reduces delays in time-sensitive careImproves ED throughput and dispositionDecreases conflict and miscommunicationClarifies ownership and next stepsProtects the patient (and the team) when plans are unclear 🪜 The 4-Step ED Consult Framework (Introduction → Ask → Summary → Close the Loop) Most consult friction comes from one of two problems: unclear expectations or excessive noise. This four-step structure solves both.1) Introduce yourself and your roleA simple intro sets a professional tone and removes ambiguity.Script: “Hey, this is Swami, one of the ED attendings. I’m calling for an ortho consult.” 2) Lead with the outcome (the ask)Don’t bury the lede. The consultant wants to know what you need—immediately.Script: “I’m calling about a patient with a suspected septic knee. I need you to evaluate for operative management.” 3) Give a focused, decision-relevant summaryYour summary should answer:Why this is your service’s problemWhat’s already been doneWhat I’m worried about / what decision is needed nowScript: “43-year-old man with no major PMH, 3 days of knee pain and swelling. XR negative. Febrile. Aspiration yielded purulent fluid—cultures sent. We started antibiotics after the tap. He’s hemodynamically stable.” High-yield pearl: Add quick “stability anchors” when relevant:“Airway stable, pain controlled.”“Neurovascularly intact.”“No signs of compartment syndrome.”“No hypotension or escalating oxygen requirement.” 4) Close the loop (timeline + next steps)This prevents the consult from floating in limbo and protects patient flow.Script: “When do you expect to see the patient, and do you want anything done before you arrive—NPO, repeat labs, additional imaging?” 📝 ED Consult Script General ED Consult Script “Hi, this is Dr. ___ in the ED. I’m calling for a ___ consult. The reason is ___. Briefly: ___ year-old with ___. We’ve done ___ and started ___. I’m concerned about ___. Can you see them today, and what’s your preferred next step?” Septic joint / Ortho Example “Hi, this is Swami in the ED. I need an ortho consult for suspected septic arthritis. 43-year-old with 3 days of atraumatic knee swelling and fever. XR negative. Tap produced purulent fluid—cultures sent. Antibiotics started after aspiration. Can you evaluate for operative management, and when can you see the patient?” Neurology example (time-sensitive) “Hi, this is Dr. ___ in the ED. I need neurology for suspected acute stroke. Last known well ___. NIHSS ___. CT/CTA completed (or pending). I’m calling to discuss candidacy for thrombolysis/thrombectomy and next steps. When can you evaluate and what additional workup do you want now?” ⛓️‍💥 Common ED Consult Mistakes (and Fixes) Mistake: Long story before the askFix: Lead with the outcome in the first sentenceMistake: Unfiltered data dumpFix: Provide only decision-relevant detailsMistake: No timelineFix: Ask explicitly when they’ll see the patient and what they need firstMistake: Implicit “ownership”Fix: Clarify who is admitting, who is following, and what happens if the patient worsens ✋ What to Do When a Consultant Pushes Back Even a perfect consult can meet resistance. Your job is to stay calm, keep it professional, and protect the patient.1) Ask “why?”Don’t argue first—diagnose the refusal.Script: “Help me understand your concern about seeing this patient.” Many refusals are based on misunderstanding: wrong service, missing key detail, or incorrect assumption about stability.2) Restate the consult in one sentence, then offer optionsIf the conversation starts spiraling, reset it.Script: “To be clear, I’m concerned this is septic arthritis and needs ortho evaluation. If you don’t feel you’re the right service, who should be—rheum, medicine, or another surgical team?” This keeps you collaborative while preventing dead ends.3) Humanize the decision (use sparingly)This is a “high-voltage” tool. Use it when stakes are high and you’ve already clarified the medical facts.Script: “I’m worried we’re missing something time-sensitive. If this were your family member, what would you want us to do next?” Use it to re-anchor to patient risk—not as a guilt tactic. ⚡️When and How to Escalate a Consult Escalation isn’t personal—it’s a safety mechanism when there’s an impasse that threatens timely care.When to escalateTime-sensitive condition is delayed (e.g., septic joint, cord compression, testicular torsion, GI bleed with instability)No clear disposition plan despite reasonable ED evaluationConsultant refusal blocks needed specialty decision-makingPatient safety or deterioration risk is increasing in the ED How to escalate (lowest to highest intensity)Ask for the consultant’s attending (if speaking to a resident)Call the on-call attending directlyInvolve ED leadership/medical directorEscalate to service chief/department chair (rare, but real)Hospital supervisor/admin escalation for immediate operational impasseScript: “We’re at an impasse and the patient needs a decision. I’m escalating to clarify ownership and ensure timely care.” ️ Documentation Tips for Consult Refusals Documentation should be factual and patient-centered, not punitive.Include:Your clinical concern and why the consult is neededWho you spoke with (name/role)Their stated reason for refusal or delayAlternatives discussedEscalation steps taken and final plan 👉 FAQ: Emergency Medicine Consults What is the best way to call a consult in the ED?Introduce yourself, lead with the specific ask, summarize only decision-relevant details, and close the loop with a clear plan and timeline.What should I say when a consultant refuses to see a patient?Ask why, clarify misunderstandings, restate your concern and the ask, and request an alternative plan or appropriate service.When should I escalate a consult?Escalate when an impasse delays time-sensitive care, threatens patient safety, or prevents appropriate disposition.How do I document a refused consult?Document the clinical concern, who you spoke with, their stated reason, alternatives discussed, and escalation steps taken. 🏁 Conclusion Mastering emergency medicine consults makes you faster, safer, and easier to work with. The goal isn’t to “win” a consult call—it’s to get the patient the right care, with clear ownership and a shared plan.

Happy Black History Month! We're kicking off the month with a story that was suggested by Janice on Instagram. Nowadays, when you call for emergency services, you expect the speedy arrival of an ambulance staffed by personnel who have the skills to save your life en route if necessary. But, believe it or not, that's actually a new concept. Before the 1960s, your call would have been answered (quite slowly) by a police paddy wagon or even a hearse and there would be virtually no pre-hospital care other than basic first aid. It took until 1967 for folks in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to realize that there had to be better way and the Freedom House Ambulance Service was born. If you've never heard of it, there's a reason for that. The Freedom House Ambulance Service was staffed by all Black paramedics, taken off the streets of Pittsburgh's impoverished Hill District. They were trained up and put to work and they absolutely killed it, revolutionizing emergency medical services country-wide. But history has a way of erasing these types of stories.

#207 - One phone call redirected a life. When Matt Harmody's father entered emergent dialysis, Matt saw both the power and the limits of modern medicine—and it set him on a path from corporate engineer to emergency physician, living kidney donor, and advocate who ties purpose to action in unforgettable ways. We trace that journey from the earliest signs of kidney disease to a courageous decision to donate to a stranger, and then to the mountains where advocacy turns into motion: Kilimanjaro with a team of donors and a Guinness World Record campaign to reach the highest point in all 50 states in 41 days.We dig into the realities few people see: why hypertension and diabetes quietly erode kidney function, how dialysis extends life but extracts a heavy toll, and why living donor kidneys typically last longer and require fewer medications. Matt explains today's safeguards for donors—rigorous screening, prioritization if a donor ever needs a kidney, wage and travel protections, and even voucher programs to help family members in the future—so the decision rests on facts, not fear. He also shares the practical side of life post-donation: smarter hydration, avoiding NSAIDs, and the surprising truth that donors routinely return to high performance across endurance and strength sports.Then comes the adventure. Starting with Denali's brutal cold and thin air, the team navigated storms, snow-choked trailheads, RV logistics, and a thousand tiny delays that can sabotage a long project. Strategy shifts, reroutes, and relentless teamwork kept the mission alive, each summit doubling as a platform to raise awareness for living kidney donation. Along the way, trailhead reunions with donors and recipients, hot meals from strangers, and stories from dialysis patients stitched community into every mile.If you've wondered what it really takes to donate, or how purpose can reshape a career and redefine adventure, this story will stay with you.

This episode of EM Pulse dives into one of the most stressful scenarios in the ED: the febrile infant in the first month of life. Traditionally, a fever in this age group has meant an automatic “full septic workup,” including the dreaded lumbar puncture (LP). But times are changing. We sit down with experts Dr. Nate Kuppermann and Dr. Brett Burstein to discuss a landmark JAMA study that suggests we might finally be able to safely skip the LP in many of our tiniest patients. The Study: A Game Changer for Neonates Our discussion centers on a massive international pooled study evaluating the PECARN Febrile Infant Rule specifically in infants aged 0–28 days. While previous guidelines were conservative due to a lack of data for this specific age bracket, this study provides the evidence we've been waiting for. The Cohort: A large pool of infants across multiple countries. The Findings: The PECARN rule demonstrated an exceptionally high negative predictive value for invasive bacterial infections. The Big Win: The rule missed zero cases of bacterial meningitis. Defining the Danger: SBI vs. IBI The experts break down why we are shifting our terminology and our clinical focus. Serious Bacterial Infection (SBI)  Historically, this was a “catch-all” term including Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), bacteremia, and meningitis. However, UTIs are generally more common, easily identified via urinalysis, and typically less life-threatening than the other two. Invasive Bacterial Infection (IBI)  This term refers specifically to bacteremia and bacterial meningitis. These are the “high-stakes” infections the PECARN rule is designed to rule out. Dr. Kuppermann notes that we should ideally view bacteremia and meningitis as distinct entities, as the clinical implications of a missed meningitis case are far more severe. The HSV Elephant in the Room One of the primary reasons clinicians hesitate to skip an LP in a neonate is the fear of missing Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) infection. Low Baseline Risk: While the overall risk of HSV in a febrile infant is low, the risk of “isolated” HSV (meningitis without other signs or symptoms) is even rarer. Screening Tools: Most infants with HSV appear clinically ill. Clinicians can also use ALT (liver function) testing as a secondary screen – transaminase elevation is a common marker for systemic HSV. Clinical Judgment: If the baby is well-appearing, has no maternal history of HSV, no vesicles, and no seizures, the risk of missing HSV by skipping the LP is exceptionally low. Practical Application: Shared Decision-Making This isn’t just about the numbers—it’s about the parents. “Families don’t mind their babies being admitted… They do not want the lumbar puncture. It is the single most anxiety-provoking aspect of care.” — Dr. Brett Burstein The PECARN “Low-Risk” Criteria:  (Remember, this rule applies only to infants who are not ill-appearing.) Urinalysis: Negative Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC): ≤ 4,000/mm³ Procalcitonin (PCT): ≤ 0.5 ng/mL The Bottom Line: If an infant is well-appearing and meets these criteria, physicians can have a nuanced conversation with parents about the risks and benefits of forgoing the LP, while still admitting the child for observation (often without empiric antibiotics) while cultures brew. Key Takeaways The “Well-Appearing” Filter: If an infant looks ill, the rule does not apply. These patients require a full workup, including an LP, regardless of lab results. Meticulous Physical Exam: Assess for a strong suck, normal muscle tone, brisk capillary refill, and any rashes or vesicles. History is Key: Always ask about maternal GBS/HSV status, pregnancy or birth complications, prematurity, sick contacts, and any changes in feeding, stooling or activity. Procalcitonin: PCT is the superior inflammatory marker for this rule. If your facility only offers traditional markers like CRP, the PECARN negative predictive value cannot be strictly applied. In the words of Dr. Kuppermann: “If you don’t have it, for God’s sakes, just get it! ALT to Screen for HSV: While not part of the official PECARN rule, our experts suggest that significantly elevated liver enzymes should raise suspicion for systemic HSV. Observe, Don’t Discharge: Being “low risk” does not mean the infant goes home. All infants ≤ 28 days still require admission for 24-hour observation and blood/urine cultures.

Every second, lightning strikes 50 to 100 times somewhere. It can wreak havoc by starting wildfires and sometimes killing people. But lightning also produces a form of nitrogen that's essential to vegetation. In this episode, we talk about the nature of these dramatic sparks. Ben Franklin established their electric origin, so what do we still not know? Also, why the frequency of lightning strikes is increasing in some parts of the world. And, what to do if you find someone hit by lightning.
