Today, @dennisrenmd.bsky.social and I will be giving a session at the DFTB conference in Glasgow, Scotland, on how to build better critical appraisal skills. #MedSky
Excited to team up with @thesgem.bsky.social for our session at the Don't Forget the Bubbles conference in Glasgow and meet many #FOAMed friends. @andrewjtagg.bsky.social @tessardavis.bsky.social Join us June 22-24, 2026. Registration is open and places are going fast. #DFTB26 www.dftb26.com
This was a fun collaborative episode with @pecarn.bsky.social researchers and Don’t Forget the Bubbles! It’s great when a clinical tool helps us to both provide great care AND minimize our own implicit bias. #EMsky #MedSky #PEM @spiroskara.bsky.social
EM Pulse Podcast™@empulsepodcast.bsky.social · 8mo agoucdavisem.com/2026/03/10/d... Can structured decision rules reduce disparities in pediatric imaging? EM Pulse and DFTB examine new evidence on PECARN, clinician-perceived race and ethnicity, and equitable care in minor head and abdominal trauma.
Management of the febrile infant has changed quite a bit. @spiroskara.bsky.social and I cover the @jama.com paper from Drs. Burstein and Kuppermann. You may no longer need to LP infants <28 days if they meet @pecarn.bsky.social low risk criteria! buff.ly/3ngdS5R #PedSky #PedsEM #FOAMed #MedSky
How Low Can You Go? Rethinking Lumbar Punctures for Well-Appearing Febrile Infants
Do you need to perform an LP on every infant under 28 days of age or can we use the PECARN febrile infant rule?
