Episode 5 - Psychiatric Emergencies and Increased Intracranial Pressure

We review the FOAM (Free Open Access Medical education) from Academic Life in Emergency Medicine, "Atypical Antispychotic Medication Re-initiation in the Emergency Department" and Dr. Casey Parker's Broome Docs Podcast "Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter."  Then, we discuss core content emergencies including a review of select psychiatric disorders and management of increased ICP. As always, visit foamcast.org  for show notes and the generously donated Rosh Review questions. Key Texts: Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Board Review(7e) Chapters 284, 254 Rosen’s Emergency Medicine (8e) Chapters 110, 29  Thanks for listening!   -Jeremy Faust and Lauren Westafer

Om Podcasten

We believe in the educational merits of Free Open Access Medical education (FOAM), which includes podcasts, blogs, articles on PubMed Central, conferences streamed for free and more. As a result, we would like to encourage others to move beyond quoting podcasts and into the realm of tying “cutting edge” FOAM to the core content. We’ll provide some review and references for listeners to go read. Why, indeed, should we FOAM it alone when FOAM can inspire us to go, read, think, and be excellent?
