Description

This week we review Dr. Rory Spiegel's EMNerd blog post, A Case of Identity Part Two, on dual antiplatelet therapy for ACS and MI. 

Dual antiplatelet therapy, often aspirin + P2Y12 inhibitors, although commonly used, do not affect mortality and have questionable benefit but are associated with risks of bleeding.

Then, we delve into core content pearls on anticoagulation including aspirin, ibuprofen, and novel oral anticoagulants using Rosenalli  (Rosen's Emergency Medicine and Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Review Guide) and Goldrank (10th ed) Chapter 60 and EMPractice October 2013 as a guide.  
As always, visit foamcast.org for show notes and the generously donated Rosh Review questions.
Thanks y'all!

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
