Myths in imaging and pediatrics

We bring you pearls from the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) 2018 Scientific Assembly in San Diego, CA. In this episode we highlight: Myths in diagnostic imaging Torsion ultrasound is insensitive CTPA for PE is not perfect. There are false positives AND false negatives Myths in pediatrics Response to antipyretics does NOT make viral infection more likely Juice in kids with gastroenteritis is a great way to rehydrate them Kids don't have to wait 24 hours on antibiotics for strep throat before returning to school, if they got 50 mg/kg amoxicillin prior to 5pm the night before, they're fine Thanks for listening!

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?
