The Best of #FOAMed Emergency Medicine

  • A superb talk from Casey Parker on Bayes testing: using the test that will discriminate. [SL]
  • One of the most frequent ER procedures:  urine testing. But how much do you understand it and is it used correctly? A great look at the topic from HEFT EMCAST. [SL]
  • The Bottom Line features an excellent review of the POKER trial comparing propofol to ketofol. [AS]
  • Check out Core EM’s post on ankle fractures: diagnosis, management and pitfalls. [AS]

The Best of #FOAMtox Toxicology
