A practical airway update that turns study data into bedside decisions.
Britt Long and Manny Singh keep the attention squarely on ED airway management, where induction choice, paralytic choice, and device choice can all shape what happens next.
A tight toxicology refresher that turns a common overdose into concrete ED decisions.
Acetaminophen toxicity is treated as a straightforward ED tox problem here, with the focus kept on a real ingestion and the decisions it forces.
