Description
Drs. Pescatore and Raja provide news you can use in your practice right now! Listen in to hear their takes on these hot topics:
- Do you really need to send a troponin for your asymptomatic afib patient with RVR? What happens when it comes back elevated?
- The obstruction series’ sensitivity is 30-50 percent for obstruction and worse for anything else in the belly. Why are you ordering it?
- You can handle that distal finger amputation yourself. The evidence says ED revision yields good patient outcomes and no significant rate of adverse events.
