REBEL Cast Ep112: The Pre-AeRATE Trial – HFNC vs NC for RSI

REBEL EM

Background: Hypoxemia is a commonly encountered adverse event during rapid sequence intubation (RSI) in the ED. Critically ill patients in the ED often have a lack of physiologic reserve, decreased cardiac output, increased shunting, and reduced pulmonary reserves. Therefore, a strategy that safely avoids desaturation and prolongs safe apnea times would be beneficial.

Mammography Educators

Written by: Louise C. Miller , R.T.(R)(M)(ARRT), CRT(M), FSBI, FNCBC, Director of Education When I started writing this blog, I created a list of challenging patients and situations that were not related specifically to positioning challenges (i.e. frozen shoulder, kyphosis, wheelchair patients, etc) since these were addressed in my previous blog article.

Project Bone-RADS

Radiopaedia

Project Bone-RADS was an editorial project aimed at the update and revision of several articles on the most common bone lesions encountered in imaging. It was inspired by the white paper Guidelines for the Diagnostic Management of Incidental Solitary Bone Lesions on CT and MRI in Adults: Bone Reporting and Data System (Bone-RADS) by Chang et al. published in Skeletal Radiology.

The Benefits of the 3T MRI

The Radiology Clinic

MRIs, also known as Magnetic Resonance Imaging, allow for very detailed scans with the help of a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy. They help doctors see organs and structures inside the body that is different than other types of scans such as X-rays, ultrasounds, or CT scans. What is a 3T MRI? Traditional MRI machines operate at a strength of 1.5T, or Teslas.

The BOX Trial: BP & O2 Targets in Comatose Survivors of Cardiac Arrest

REBEL EM

Background: Hypoxemia and hypoperfusion are important factors in outcomes after ROSC. While hypoxemia (SpO2 <90%) is clearly deleterious, it is unclear if hyperoxia is beneficial. Recent studies on patients requiring critical care have demonstrated that hyperoxia is harmful and instead we should be targeting normoxia (SpO2>93%). Similarly, while it is clear hypotension/hypoperfusion will result in worse outcomes, it is unknown whether we should be targeting higher blood pressures after
