Emergency Medical MinutePodcast 505: Sleep on Strep ThroatContributor: Don Stader, MD Educational Pearls: Only 10% of patients receiving antibiotics for strep throat actually have the diesease Treatment of strep with antibiotics only slightly reduces the duration of illness. Most studies say the reduction is between 16 and 24 hours Antibiotic treatment may reduce complications such as peritonsilar abscess and otitis media but antibiotics also increase the risk of diarrhea and yeast infection Rheumatic fever is caused by a specific serotype of strep that is no longer prevalent in the United States, so treating strep throat likely has no effect on preventing this complication References 2019-10-0103 min

PE is a spectrum of disease. Patients should be treated differently depending on where they are on the spectrum. Subsegmental PE may need no treatment at all, whereas massive PE is unlikely to improve without thrombolytics. Anand argues for the use of thrombolytics. Evidently, time is critical when dealing with patients and Anand posits that thrombolytics gives the physician control over time. Submassive PE can deteriorate, leading to massive pulmonary embolism...2017-01-2223 min
