An Interview with Prof Paul Middleton

A 38 yo patient with no previous history presents with 3 days of epigastric pain, shoulder pain, shortness of breath and fevers. He presents to the emergency department because he is feeling weak.

Pouryahya P et al. Utility of lumbar puncture after a normal brain commuted tomography scan in patients presenting to the emergency department with suspected subarachnoid haemorrhage(SAH): A new more rational approach. EMA 2020 32,756-762.

How would you deal with these Endocrinology Emergencies? Dr Adam Michael takes us over some important pearls. . . . . . .

We look at 14 studies that made the top lists

In this Clinical Cases Podcast, I present two cases, which I found fascinating and go over two important neurological signs for diagnosing subtle weakness in the upper limb

ILCOR have just updated their resuscitation Guidelines. The last update was 2024. Although there aren't a lot of new changes, there are some new recommendations.

An Interview with Dr Will Davies; We discuss an interesting case of exertional heat stroke.

Beware the 4 main areas that can result in cardiac arrest peri-intubation. Hypotension Positive pressure ventilation secondary to intubation, increases intrathoracic pressure which increases right atrial pressure resulting in decreased pressure differential and less blood coming back into the heart. What may help Volume resuscitation may increase cardiac output If patients are not fluid responsive...

AIRWAY PEARLS Consider every case a difficult Intubation due to effects on anatomy and physiology Normal airway techniques may not be effective. Positioning of the patient is critical- aim for head up. Pre-oxygenation techniques are crucial Appropriate medication dosing is important Video laryngoscopy may provide an edge Mechanical Ventilation needs to be tailored Anatomy and Physiology in the obe...

An 88 yo patient who is fully independent, is brought into ED by ambulance in Cardiogenic Shock. The only past history the patient has is hypertension and hypercholesterolaemia. Earlier that morning the patient developed central chest pain and felt dizzy. When the ambulance arrived the patient had the following vitals: Afebrile HR 72bpm BP 65/42 Sats 97% on Room air. ECG showed a normal sinus rhyt...

Cases in Shock: Choosing Inotropes and Vasopressors How do we choose the right pressor in shock? Below is a brief discussion of pressors and their properties as well as 4 cases, where we choose the pressor to use, with reasoning. If I were to use one general guide, it is, that unless we need to increase the heart rate, then  NorAdrenaline, can be used in nearly all cases .  Below are 4 c...

Dr Adam Michael Talks about Status Asthmaticus. The approach, the treatment, all in a 15 minute summary.
