Platelets are critically low and you're at the bedside — ITP, TTP, or DIC? Mark Ramzy, DO (@mramzydo) from ResusX:ReUnion: One of these makes platelet transfusion dangerous. Do you know which one before you act? Drop your approach in the comments.

Herpes simplex keratitis and varicella zoster keratitis can look similar at first glance, but their corneal lesions have key differences that help guide diagnosis and treatment. 🔍 This graphic compares classic HSV dendrites with VZV pseudodendrites: • HSV lesions are larger, ulcerative, stain centrally with fluorescein, and feature terminal bulbs • VZV lesions are smaller, raised, lack terminal bulbs, and usually do not show central staining • HSV is typically treated with topical antivirals, while VZV requires systemic antiviral therapy Recognizing these subtle exam findings can help you quickly distinguish between two important causes of infectious keratitis in the ED and clinic setting. 👁️🩺 #EmergencyMedicine #Ophthalmology #Keratitis #HSV #VaricellaZoster #MedEd #CorePendium #EMRAP

Would you consider yourself a resuscitation expert? Comment below how you’d grade your skills from 1-10. Regardless of where you land, Swami and Scott will make sure this segment has something for you to take away to your practice, and you are going to want to tune in to hear it. They will be discussing 👍 The Good: Higher first-shock energy settings (≥200 J) are preferable to lower energy. 👎 The Bad: Guidelines still say to continue giving Epi every 3 to 5 minutes. There is no definitive evidence of improved neurologic outcomes, and outcomes may be worse in shockable rhythm states. ❌ The Ugly: International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) states that dual sequential external defibrillation (DSED) may be performed for shockable rhythms. One important thing to note: The ACLS guidelines were made for all-comers in medicine and, therefore, should be approached with understanding that your expertise as a resuscitationist may go beyond ACLS. #EMRAP #EM #EmergencyMedicine #ACLSGuidelines #AHAGuidelines #resuscitation
