Hey team:
I have mentioned a bunch of articles over these 2 weeks together so this post will provide links to some of the stuff we talked about. I will provide both a pubmed link where needed and a direct link that requires a UTORID.
1. Thrombolysis in PE: A useful review from Circulation 2011. As discussed the evidence is debatable in submassive PEs, while for hemodynamically unstable patients the consensus is to thrombolyse. (direct link)
2. Does my dizzy patient have a stroke: Great article from CMAJ on deciding when to order brain imaging for you dizzy patient. BHig highlight is the type of dizziness is not that useful.
3. Treating hyperkalemia: Another good review from CMAJ, showing that for acute shift Beta agonists are very helpful. Remember always to eliminate the excess K, though.
That's it for today, watch this space.
