AZEMCast is THE competitive emergency medicine podcast. The host, Dr. Aaron Leetch, moderates a panel of emergency physicians who will go head to head navigating a clinical case from the Ring Down to the Work Up to the Dispo. Panelists are awarded points for their approach to the case and their clinical application of evidence-based medicine. However, points are deducted for weak arguments or reliance on experience-based medicine. The panelist with the most point at the end of the case will win the opportunity to soapbox about whatever aspect of EM they are most passionate about. We hope this podcast will model the knowledge, skills and approach that will help you take the best care of your patients. Posts ≠ medical advice http://uanow.org/participate

episode 48: September 2019 - Intro to Procedural Sedation
Happy September everyone!
As the days get shorter and pumpkin spice infiltrates every part of our lives, we decided to talk about the closest thing we get to do in the ED to be master bakers and chefs: procedural sedation. A cup of propofol, a dollop of ketamine and a pinch of fentanyl all added to a heavy base of pre-procedure safety checklists is the perfect receipt for a happy, sleepy patient who will never remember the awful things we discussed regarding abscesses over the summer. Sedations are fun if done well. Done poorly, they're like pumpkin-spiced Spam (real product, can't make this stuff up).
So we're starting from the beginning with the why, the who and the how on procedural sedation in the ED.
