Take Aurally

Sepsis lead Dr. Chris Gough (@Old_stoneface31) discussing Sepsis and the new NICE guidelines

@charleypeal and @dominic_purnell here discussing Asthma - amongst many podcasts they've lent their expertise!

An epic day in the subterranean world of Take Aurally; the Wheezy Child trilogy with Dr. Phil Dykes ( @theEDconsultant) and Dr. Colin Gilhooley

@theEDconsultant may not have seen Star Wars but he goes through the @nottmhospitals Paediatric Asthma criteria brilliantly

Thanks to Dr. Craig Douglas (@craigyd18) for coming to record our @TakeAurally ACS podcast with our silent producer in attendance...

There's 3 types of Brugada; but only Type 1 is potentially diagnostic on ECG when seen with one of:

Documented ventricular fibrillation (VF) or polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT)

Family history of sudden cardiac death at <45 years old

Coved-type ECGs in family members

Inducibility of VT with programmed electrical stimulation 

Syncope

Nocturnal agonal respiration

Wellens’ syndrome is a pattern of deeply inverted or biphasic T waves in V2-3, which is highly specific for a critical stenosis of the left anterior descending artery (LAD).

Patients may be pain free by the time the ECG is taken and have normally or minimally elevated cardiac enzymes; however, they are at extremely high risk for extensive anterior wall MI within the next few days to weeks.

Due to the critical LAD stenosis, these patients usually require invasive therapy, do poorly with medical management and may suffer MI or cardiac arrest if inappropriately stress tested.

Proud to hear Colin Gilhooley's kind words for Take Aurally at EM2C17!

Great to practice hybrid simulation whenever we can; our students always value it - as close to the real thing as possible here practicing cannulation

<15% of patients with intussusception will actually have the classic triad we're all taught about (colicky pain, abdominal mass and redcurrant stool)

Found out more about intussusception and other serious causes of abdominal pain in children in our podcast and blog

46% of patients with DKA will have abdominal pain - it's very important we don't miss it!
