EM:RAP Physician-founded and physician-run for over 20 years.
65,000 subscribers cannot be wrong! At EM:RAP, we believe what you do matters.

Emergency Medicine Reviews and Perspectives (EM:RAP) was founded in September of 2001 with a simple mission: provide the best medical education to emergency medicine practitioners everywhere. For more than twenty years, EM:RAP has passionately pursued this goal. In doing so, we have become the most listened to audio program in emergency medicine, with more listeners than the total number of emergency physicians in the United States. Today, EM:RAP continues to expand its mission through emergency medicine and beyond with a culture of continuous innovation. We’ve developed educational products that have re-defined standards for medical education, and we continue to challenge ourselves by developing new technologies, employing expertise from fields beyond medicine, and re-imagining what makes learning powerful. EM:RAP’s commitment to medical education also extends beyond national borders. To date, clinicians from over 160 countries have relied on EM:RAP for cutting-edge, mission critical education. Our products have made a difference in patients’ lives amidst public health crises, active warzones, and resource limited settings. While access to expert emergency medical care is expected in high resource nations, in many lower resource communities emergency medicine is still in its infancy. Through our nonprofit, EM:RAP Global Outreach, we are connecting a global community of scholarship that provides outreach and education where high-quality emergency care is needed most. We are a team of doctors, educators, designers, videographers, audio engineers, and artists, dedicated to improving healthcare by transforming medical education. More importantly, we are people who believe everyone deserves access to the highest level of medical care. We believe that great education makes great clinicians, and great clinicians take great care of patients.

What is your favorite way to access volume status in your critical patients? Ultrasound is the way forward for us, but there are some nuances between short vs. long axis views of the IVC. Swami and Haney are dropping the Crit Bits pearls on us all this week and you will not want to skip this segment. In the critical patient you need the full picture, and ultrasound can and should be a key part of your clinical evaluation.

What are some other tools you are using for these assessments?

When can you safely defer a lumbar puncture in a febrile infant under 28 days?

Most infants this age with fever have self-limiting viral infections, but about 4% have bacteremia or bacterial meningitis, and history/exam alone aren’t enough to identify those kiddos.

Mike and Sanjay review the updated PECARN febrile infant prediction rule, which attempts to identify those low-risk full-term, well-appearing infants that can be admitted without doing an LP in the emergency department. This multicenter, international study suggests LP and empiric antibiotics might be safely deferred in select infants 8–28 days old.

Listen to the entire FREE segment for guidance on risk stratification and parent counseling in this high-stakes population.

Are you doing CPR on the correct part of the chest? We’ve been taught and seen it a million times, hands on the center of the sternum and fast deep compressions. Swami and Charlotte Derr are here to explain the physiology of why we might need to move a bit farther to the patients left for optimum perfusion by compressing the left atrium instead of the LVOT (left ventricular outflow tract).
Listen to the whole segment this week on EM:RAP and let us know what you think!
