Ep 204 High Risk Pulmonary Embolism Management
There are many nuances in the management of patients with pulmonary embolism in cardiac arrest, peri-arrest or simply in shock: We need to optimize oxygenation and airway management, hemodynamic support, acid/base management, thrombolysis and/or catheter-directed therapies that Anton dives into with guest experts Dr. Lauren Westafer, Dr. Bourke Tillmann and Dr. Justin Morgenstern...

ECG Cases 55 The Art of Occlusion MI Part 3 – Impression
In this ECG Cases blog Dr. Jesse McLaren guides us through 6 illustrative cases delving into overall impression in identifying occlusion MI. He discusses how using multiple OMI findings such as acute Q wave, subtle STE, reciprocal STD, hyperacute T waves, and reciprocal TWI to contribute to your overall impression, can double the sensitivity of STEMI criteria for acute coronary occlusion...

Ep 203 Intermediate Risk Pulmonary Embolism Risk Stratification, Management and Algorithm
How do you predict which intermediate-risk patients will suddenly deteriorate? What role do risk scores, biomarkers, imaging, and hemodynamics play in decision-making? Should these patients receive anticoagulation alone, or is thrombolysis warranted? When should you consider catheter-directed or surgical interventions? This podcast focuses us to think critically about risk stratification, early interventions and escalation in care in PE. We include an algorithm in the show notes. Not all patients fit neatly into classification boxes, making clinical judgment crucial. Join Dr. Lauren Westafer, Dr. Justin Morgenstern, Dr. Bourke Tillman and Anton as they explore the key decision points, pitfalls, and lifesaving strategies for managing intermediate-risk PE in the ED...
