    Ep 223 Epistaxis Management: A Step-Wise Approach
    Sep 29 2026
    Epistaxis is usually straightforward—until it isn’t. How can you distinguish an anterior bleed from a dangerous posterior bleed? What’s the best sequence for compression, vasoconstrictors, TXA, cautery and packing? When should you reach for an anterior balloon tampon or posterior dual balloon? And how do you manage the airway when torrential bleeding fills the oropharynx? In this Epistaxis Management Deep Dive, Anton is joined by emergency physician Dr. Leeor Sommer and otolaryngologist Dr. Doron Sommer for a practical step-wise approach to everything from the routine nosebleed to life-threatening hemorrhage...

    Ep 222 Imaging Decisions in Emergency Medicine
    Aug 25 2026
    When to image, when to wait, and what to do when the ideal test isn’t available are often far more nuanced than they appear. In this EM Cases episode, Dr. Amit Shah joins Anton to tackle some of the toughest everyday imaging decisions: How much should cumulative radiation exposure influence our decision to order another CT? In suspected appendicitis, when is it safe to wait for ultrasound rather than obtain CT overnight? Can the emerging traumatic brain injury biomarkers GFAP and UCH-L1 help avoid CT, particularly in rural and remote settings? And in suspected cauda equina syndrome, how can PVR and CT lumbar spine be combined to risk-stratify patients when MRI isn’t immediately available—and when should a reassuring PVR or CT not reassure us? Plus, practical shared decision-making strategies, the role of the “tincture of time,” and much more...
