Intra-articular Lidocaine vs Procedural Sedation and Analgesia for Closed Reduction of Acute Anterior Shoulder Dislocation

REBEL EM

Background: Many clinicians have transitioned from procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) in favor of intra-articular lidocaine (IAL) to manage anterior shoulder dislocation. PSA, also referred to as intravenous sedation in this paper, requires considerable resources, including 1:1 nursing observation, and burdens the emergency department (ED). In addition, many hospitals are still reeling from the COVID-19 pandemic and face crippling staff shortages, and sparing a nurse for PSA will be difficu

BLS Employment Situation Report: January 2023

MRI Network

The labor market remains historically tight. On Wednesday, the Labor Department noted U.S. employers had 11 million job openings at year-end, 600,000 more than the prior month.

Amiodarone Versus Digoxin for Acute Rate Control of Atrial Fibrillation in the Emergency Department

REBEL EM

Background Information: Atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate (RVR) is one of the many tachydysrhythmias we encounter in the Emergency Department (ED). Though consensus has been reached for first-line treatment of ventricular rate control 1 with beta blockers (BB) and non-dihydropyridine (non-DHP) calcium channel blockers (CCB), there is still much debate regarding a preferred second-line agent for ventricular rate control.

Early Lung Cancer Detection

Iowa Radiology

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death and the second most common type of cancer in the U.S. [1] One of the reasons lung cancer is so deadly is that symptoms often don’t appear until the disease has reached an advanced stage. Fortunately, low-dose CT lung screening (LDCTLS) has emerged as an effective screening tool to detect early-stage lung cancers, increasing many patients’ chances of survival.
