EMN Live: Richard Pescatore, DO, & Ali Raja, MD, on Troponin Testing, Obstruction Series, and Distal Finger Amputations

Drs. Pescatore and Raja provide news you can use in your practice right now! Listen in to hear their takes on these hot topics:   Do you really need to send a troponin for your asymptomatic afib patient with RVR? What happens when it comes back elevated? The obstruction series' sensitivity is 30-50 percent for obstruction and worse for anything else in the belly. Why are you ordering it? You can handle that distal finger amputation yourself. The evidence says ED revision yields good patient outcomes and no significant rate of adverse events.
