Mashup Score: 2Steroids for pneumonia (CAPE COD and ESCAPe) - First10EM - 1 year(s) ago
I’ve gone in depth into the topic of steroids for pneumonia previously. (Also covered on the EM Cases Journal Jam.) At the time, despite some promising point estimates, I thought that the evidence was too weak to suggest regular use of steroids for community acquired pneumonia.

Mashup Score: 6One snip lateral canthotomy - First10EM - 1 year(s) ago
The lateral canthotomy is a core emergency medicine procedure. It was one of the earliest topics covered on First10EM. Early intervention improves outcomes, but despite that, ED physicians frequently delay performing the procedure until the arrival of a specialist. (Beams 2016) A “one-snip” approach has been described that, based on limited cadaveric studies, is equally […]

Mashup Score: 0We should stop using the Canadian CT head rule - First10EM - 1 year(s) ago
