Chest pain is one of the most common reasons why people present to the ED. The chief complaint of Chest Pain typically triggers an automatic EKG, and potentially a workup for acute coronary syndrome. However, many patients who are having ACS do not present with chest pain. Instead, they may have dyspnea, diaphoresis, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or other non-specific symptoms. Which patients are most likely to...2016-07-2919 minGEMCAST5 Ways to Geriatricize Your EDChris Carpenter, one of the authors of the Geriatric ED guidelines, presents 5 high-impact, low-cost ways to make your ED and your practice more geriatric-friendly.

Geriatric EDs, or Senior EDs, have been popping up around the country. The idea behind them is that having a separate space, a distinct staff, and specialized protocols, can help provide better care to older adults. However, for many EDs and hospital systems this is simply not feasible. In this episode, Chris Carpenter (@GeriatricEDnews) presents five high-yield, low-cost ways that...2016-06-2927 minGEMCASTPulmonary Emboli in Older AdultsJeff Kline talks about PEs in older adults.

Not a day goes by that an Emergency Physician doesn’t at least consider PE in a patient who presents with chest pain, dyspnea, or syncope. We have become familiar with using risk stratification tools like the Wells Score and the PERC criteria. But what do you do in older adults? All of them will automatically NOT be PERC negative because of their age.

Pain is the number one reason why people seek care in the Emergency Department (ED). One major goal of acute care is diagnosing the cause of the pain, but another is helping relieve the suffering associated with pain. In older adults, some of the risks of pain management with opioids are amplified, such as the risk of sedation and falls. With NSAIDs, there is a higher risk of acute renal insufficiency and electrolyte abnormalities, as well...2016-05-0220 minGEMCASTDangerous Med Combos in Older AdultsBryan Hayes and David Juurlink explain why several common meds we use in the ED can cause dangerous complications for older patients.

Two distinguished guests join me this month, David Juurlink (@DavidJuurlink) and Bryan Hayes (@PharmERToxyGuy) to discuss medication interactions.
