Modules

Module 1: An Evidence-Based Approach to Nonoperative Management of Traumatic Hemorrhagic Shock in the Emergency Department + EMplify podcast audio discussion

Hemorrhagic shock is the major preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in patients who suffer trauma. Definitive hemostasis is the primary goal, but coordination of care with prehospital providers, trauma centers, and surgical teams that is based on defined institutional protocols will ensure that these patients receive optimal care. This issue provides evidence-based recommendations for the assessment and treatment of traumatic hemorrhagic shock. Hemostatic techniques as well as correction of hemorrhagic hypovolemia and traumatic coagulopathy are presented. The safety and efficacy of practices such as resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA), viscoelastic clot testing, and whole blood resuscitation are also reviewed. This module also includes an episode of the EMplify podcast for audio review.

Module 2: Updates and Controversies in the Early Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock + EMplify podcast audio discussion

For patients in the ED who are suspected of having sepsis, swift, effective management is vital to improving outcomes. Diagnosis and treatment of sepsis and septic shock are fundamental for emergency clinicians, and include knowledge of clinical and laboratory indicators of subtle and overt organ dysfunction, infection source control, and protocols for prompt identification of the early signs of septic shock. This issue is a structured review of the literature on the management of sepsis, focusing on the current evidence, guidelines, and protocols. This module also includes an episode of the EMplify podcast for audio review.

Customer Comments

An Evidence-Based Approach to Nonoperative Management of Traumatic Hemorrhagic Shock in the Emergency Department

Angela J, MD: “This was incredible, thank you!! These are my favorite articles, but this was the best one in a while! So much concise, and truly up to date info. I’m a community EM doc but about to take an inner-city job and this was exactly the refresher/update I needed.”
Subramanian D, MD: “It is my go-to resource. The focus on what to do based on the current evidence base is most valuable.”

Updates and Controversies in the Early Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock

Vincent G, PA-C: “We have a septic protocol that has automatic triggers in our patient computer charting system based on vital signs and lab values. You can override the orders for the septic pathway but you need to understand why and justify it. This article gave a good understanding of the topic and how we actually practice in our ED.”
Julia R, DO: “It's probably the most valuable resource i have for clinical practice and CME.”
