Tuesday Spoon Feed:

This secondary analysis of the STOP CP cohort study found that, in isolation, using a 0/2 hour hs-cTnT rule-out protocol did not achieve a NPV ≥ 99% for 30-day cardiac death or MI (CDMI). When combined with a low risk History, ECG, Age, and Risk factor (HEAR) score, it did - but at the cost of significantly decreased efficacy (ruling out only 30.7% of patients).


Thursday Spoon Feed:

This systematic review and meta-analysis did not show significant improvement in measured patient outcomes for treatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome with phenobarbital vs benzodiazepines.

Hi! I've been practicing emergency medicine for over 20 years and started JournalFeed. I'm the Chief Spoon-Feeder, which means I either write or edit everything that's posted on the JournalFeed blog. But Nick totally runs the show with the podcast!
