A big part of my work in EM education is helping trainees step up & one of the biggest jumps is to registrar so we now have a course for that! See Josh's video below for more info!

Anything re strength of the cartridges? One of the things mentioned in the talk was the (significant) variation in nicotine strength between brands

Skytorial: can you crack the case?

A middle-aged healthy patient undergoes colonoscopy under propofol sedation.

Colonoscopy is unremarkable.

Post-procedure, the patient doesn't wake up and has rhythmic movements involving the legs as shown here.

Labs are normal.

What might be going on?

Interesting talk on EVALI at #ACEMASM24. We always ask about smoking hx but do you ask vaping hx?
For pts p/w seizure etc…

Tricky is lack of consistency in nicotine content & knowing what equivalent they’re inhaling.

Also learned there’s one called β€œcowboy killer” πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ #medsky #emimcc

First post on a new social media platform is like writing on the first page of a fresh Moleskine notebook…you aim for something profound but really it’s just β€œnew platform, who β€˜dis?”
