Why is no one talking about adrenochrome during these tox lectures?

What don't they want you to know?

prior cath (under 2 years ago) with non obstructive CAD was *not* sufficiently predictive of low risk chest pain… unless you include a negative hsTrop (which we usually do)

small qualitative adults with autism in the ED: communication and flexibility with environment (ie, move to quiet room) seem to work well to avoid escalation, sedation

Paxlovid probably doesn’t decrease hospitalizations (including immunocompromised), probably at least partially because COVID hospitalizations are low now

mRNA flu vaccine a bit more effective, a bit more side effects (myalgias, HA and such)

tamiflu probably does work, might hurt in flu

LLMs can be useful for chart review for ED resus/#EndOfLife conversations research
#ACEP26

RESULTS • AGREEMENT AND REVIEW BURDEN
The models agreed unanimously on 78.2% of notes.
78.2%
Reduction in review volume
The three models agreed on 133 of 170 notes and disagreed on 37, so a clinician read only those 37 charts.
99.2%
Agreement with human review where models agreed
132 of 133 unanimous notes matched the reference standard; the pooled method's single error fell within this group.

cool study of my health code, a (non commercial) tablet-based #EndOfLife intervention for patients in the ER to get #GoalsOfCare conversations started & advanced #ACEP26

RESULTS • PARTICIPANT VOICES
In participants' words
"One of the things that helped me understand more about what could happen.... and not let that decision be taken by someone else, but be able to make that decision beforehand."
PERCEIVED USEFULNESS • SURVEY 8
"I think it came right on time ... the app came at a time when we were both mentally and physically ready to deal with the questions."
FACILITATING CONDITIONS • SURVEY 1
ACEP Scientific Assembly • Research Forum
"You actually got visual technology that show exactly what's going on ... whereas in person you got something quick, fast and short and simple."
VALUE BEYOND VERBAL EXPLANATION • SURVEY 4
"It was one of those questions that you have to dig deep into your soul... Do I want to let go and let God, or do I want to be maintained on any kind of machinery?"
VALUES-BASED REFLECTION • SURVEY 7my health code.
YOUR UITE YOUR CAKE YOURWAY
Clarity before the crisis, comfort when it comes.
My Health Code prepares patients for the conversation no one should start from scratch at 3 a.m. -teaching what
CPR and intubation entail, clarifying their values, and delivering the care team an informed plan to act on.
Educate - brief videos on resuscitation interventions
Elicit - a values assessment in the patient's language
Deliver - an informed care plan to the physician panel
