Podcast #52 - Big or Small, Abscesses Improve with Antibiotics

from TOTAL EM - Tools Of the Trade and Academic Learning in Emergency Medicine

We have talked about abscess management before both here (Podcast #13) and on the Skeptics' Guide to Emergency Medicine (Podcasts #156 and #164). Even though we have talked about using antibiotics before, there has been debate on its use in smaller abscesses. Today, we cover how antibiotics are still beneficial even for the small ones given the most recent evidence out there. Listen to podcast and read this blog for all the details as we cover different points in each.
