We bring you pearls from the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) 2018 Scientific Assembly in San Diego, CA.
In this episode we highlight:
Myths in diagnostic imaging
Torsion ultrasound is insensitive
CTPA for PE is not perfect. There are false positives AND false negatives
Myths in pediatrics
Response to antipyretics does NOT make viral infection more likely
Juice in kids with gastroenteritis is a great way to rehydrate them
Kids don't have to wait 24 hours on antibiotics for strep throat before returning to school, if they got 50 mg/kg amoxicillin prior to 5pm the night before, they're fine
Thanks for listening! Jeremy Faust and Lauren Westafer
