#ACEP13 Day 1 – October 14, 2013!

October 15, 2013 By David Marcus Leave a Comment

ACEP Day 1 on Twitter by the numbers (24 hour period):

648 participants
2942 items
3.4 million impressions
Full data/transcripts available from Symplur at: http://bit.ly/15EwfbI

 

Stuff I’ve learned: 

Sadly, I think the Seattle convention center is not quite big enough for a crowd this size. Over 6200 4-day registrants – a record. #ACEP13

Some tidbits (many of the posts have links and lit references):

  • There’s a new, FREE, ACEP eFAST app for iPad
  • Bougie for Cric is (maybe) becoming mainstream
  • A great comparison table between central and peripheral nystagmus (HiNTS anybody?)
  • Posterior STEMI’s are scary
  • Lead aVR deserves more respect
  • Need to know Wellen’s
  • Intralipid may be useful for fat soluble OD’s like Bupivacaine, beta blockers, TCA’s. Works fast!  Data is still not definitive.
  • There is something called “The Disimpactor”.  And looks like it does what it says.
  • Lots of great Palliative pointers, including the Seattle Heart Failure prognostication app (by Epocrates) – haven’t check it out yet.
  •  The new ACEP President Elect is Dr. Mike Gerardi
  • ACEP Council is reconsidering the tPA clinical guidelines
  • Starting FY2016, blood culture before antibiotics for CAP will no longer be measured!
  • ACEP joined Choosing Wisely (5 bullet-points)
  • Council resolves that Bedside Sono is a diagnostic test, not part of the physical exam.
  • There’s an optical iPhone adaptor that will turn your phone into a video-laryngoscopy device (see photo on Storify)
  • AFEM and EuFEM are well represented!

 

If that’s not enough, Bodymender has posted a Storified summary here:
