  • Navigating Breastfeeding As An EM Physician

    Navigating Breastfeeding As An EM Physician
    May 6 2024
    Navigating breastfeeding as an EM physician In the previous two episodes, we explored some of the challenges related to fertility and pregnancy for EM physicians. In the final episode of our three part series, we take it one step further to discuss yet another challenge: breastfeeding. Of course, fed is always best, and there are many reasons to formula feed, but providing breastmilk is very important to many families. For EM physicians, choosing to breastfeed usually means figuring out how to pump and store milk while you’re on shift. This can be daunting, especially for residents and junior physicians. How do you find time to sneak away? Is there an easily accessible pumping room close by? Will you feel supported by colleagues and your department? We cover these questions and much more with experts, Dr. Claire Abramoff, and Dr. Shada Rouhani. Does your ED have policies to support breastfeeding and pumping?

  • PECARN Spotlight: Tools Validated

    PECARN Spotlight: Tools Validated
    Apr 19 2024
    In this episode, we delve into a pivotal multi-center study validating the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) prediction rules for using CT imaging in children with blunt abdominal and minor head trauma. We discuss with the authors the study's impact, how these validated rules can optimize pediatric trauma care, minimize radiation risks, and what this means for emergency practices worldwide. This conversation not only sheds light on the study's intricate processes and outcomes, but also emphasizes the vital role of evidence-based guidelines in enhancing patient safety and care quality.

  • Navigating Pregnancy As An EM Physician

    Navigating Pregnancy As An EM Physician
    Apr 3 2024
    Pregnancy is common during medical training and in the early years as an attending physician, as these stages often align with individuals’ reproductive potential. The experience can vary widely depending on factors such as workplace dynamics, scheduling, and the physical demands of the job. But let’s be real - running around a busy ED while carrying extra weight, feeling nauseated (maybe vomiting), and managing all of the physical and emotional changes that come with pregnancy is a real challenge that many of us have lived. There are numerous considerations to navigate, from how we wish to be perceived as a team member to the risks posed by the workload on our bodies. Additionally, departmental or hospital policies may have financial implications that further complicate the situation. Join us as and Dr. Katren Tyler - EM physician and mother of two - as we break it all down. This the second episode in our three part series on infertility, pregnancy and breastfeeding as an Emergency Physician. If you missed it, go back and check out part 1! And stay tuned for our final episode of the series where we’ll delve into some of the challenges surrounding breastfeeding and pumping in the ED.
