Description

In this special episode we review some of the top items of 2015*
David Newman:

Opioids for back pain - falling out of favor.
Risk stratifying (and testing) low risk chest pain.

Haney Mallemat:

Peripheral vasopressors may be ready for prime time
FAST guided resuscitative thoracotomy (No cardiac activity and no effusion? No thoracotomy).
Movement towards less volume in sepsis (ex: in PROMISE trial average patient got 6L over 72 h)

Michelle Lin

Merging of FOAM with traditional journals 
Merging of FOAM resources into conglomerates
More medical education FOAM (ex: ICEnet, EMin5)

Rob Orman

Same as Haney (peripheral vasopressors + FAST in resuscitative thoracotomy)
Sexual intercourse 3-4 times per week may aid in expulsion of distal kidney stones.

We review a cutting edge a Free Open Access Medical Education (FOAM) blog or podcast and then delve into the Emergency Medicine Core Content texts on relevant issues and end with free board review questions. We believe in the educational merits of Free Open Access Medical education (FOAM), which includes podcasts, blogs, articles on PubMed Central, conferences streamed for free and more. As a result, we would like to encourage others to move beyond quoting podcasts and into the realm of tying “cutting edge” FOAM to the core content. Why, indeed, should we FOAM it alone when FOAM can inspire us to go, read, think, and be excellent? Thanks for listening, Jeremy Faust and Lauren Westafer
