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?

Circulation, Ahead of Print. Drowning is the third leading cause of death from unintentional injury worldwide, accounting for 7% of all injury-related deaths. The World Health Organization estimates that there are ≈236 000 deaths due to drowning worldwide each year. Significant efforts have focused on creating systems to prevent drowning, but an average of 4000 fatal and 8000 nonfatal drownings still occur annually in the United States—likely an underestimate.

Let me tell you a story. At least once a week, one of my friends or someone I know will contact me with the same question: “I am getting to that age where heart disease is a possibility. What do I need to do?” After getting tired of writing long emails, I started thinking I should put together a presentation they could watch. This would at least prevent me from going over the same topic over and over again.

The answer to the question is relatively simple. A PAC is usually characterized by the occurrence of a premature P wave, if it is conducted it is followed by a premature QRS complex. A PVC is usually a premature beat from the ventricles with a wide QRS komplex. Either there is no P wave before it, or it is not premature, or the P wave is hidden in the QRS complex or follows it.

Factor XI deficiency is a rare inherited coagulation disorder with an estimated prevalence of affecting 1 in 1 million. It is characterized by mild and variable bleeding phenotypes, including bruises, nosebleeds, hematuria, and postpartum hemorrhage. It can be caused by either allelic or biallelic variants in coagulation factor XI (F11). Coagulation factor XI is a glycoprotein that circulates in plasma as a non-covalent complex with high-molecular-weight kininogen.
