In this EM Cases main episode podcast, we tackle the complexities of trauma airway management, including direct trauma to the airway. We discuss indications and timing of intubation, penetrating neck trauma, the head injured patient, the agitated patients and the soiled airway. The critical question is: when should we deviate from, delay or modify RSI, and how do we navigate the unique challenges presented by trauma airways and airway trauma? Dr. George Kovacs and Dr. Andrew Petroniak answer this and other questions such as: how should we re-sequence the trauma resuscitation depending on immediate life-threats? When is immediate vs delayed intubation recommended? How useful are the Zones of the neck in penetrating neck trauma? What is the optimal dosing of airway medications in the sick trauma patient? How should we modify our airway strategy for the severely head injured patient and/or agitated patient? When should we consider ketamine facilitated fiberoptic intubation in the trauma patient?

explore Platelet Disorders, breaking down the essential concepts and clinical applications. We will discuss Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT), focusing on its pathophysiology and management.

Acute pericarditis is a common cause of nonischemic chest pain. In North America, it is typically idiopathic, develops after a viral infection, or follows a cardiac procedure. In areas with higher prevalence, tuberculosis can be an underlying cause of pericarditis. For the majority of patients, treatment with NSAIDs and colchicine leads to a favorable prognosis.

Serotonin syndrome occurs most commonly due to the combination of monoamine oxidase inhibition with concomitant serotonergic medications like SSRIs
