  • Ep 210 Decompensated Hypothyroidism Recognition and Management

    Ep 210 Decompensated Hypothyroidism Recognition and Management
    Dec 16 2025
    In the ED, we regularly care for sick patients presenting acutely with abnormal vital signs, altered mental status, and end organ dysfunction. Oftentimes, the culprit ends up being sepsis, or overdose, or organ failure. But it is important that we consider rarer endocrine presentations like decompensated hypothyroidism. In this Part 1 of this two-part podcast with Dr George Willis and Dr Alyssa Louis, we answer questions like: Why is the term myxedema coma a misnomer and should be abandoned? How can we differentiate between sepsis or environmental hypothermia or toxidrome from decompensated hypothyroidism at the bedside? When is it appropriate to order a TSH, a T4 and T3? What are the most important life-threatening triggers that need to be addressed in patients with decompensated hypothyroidism? Why is it important to test for cortisol levels and consider stress-dose steroids in all patients with decompensated hypothyroidism? Why is endotracheal intubation particularly dangerous in decompensated hypothyroidsm? What is the best way to manage hypothermia? Why is the order of medications for treatment of decompensated hypothyroidism so important? and many more...

  • Ep 209 Nondisabling Stroke Recognition and Management

    Ep 209 Nondisabling Stroke Recognition and Management
    Nov 11 2025
    In this Part 2 or our 2-part podcast update on ED stroke management with Dr. Katie Lin and Dr. Walter Himmel we explore non-disabling strokes, where symptoms are mild enough that patients can continue daily activities if deficits persist. Yet, non-disabling does not mean benign. Non-disabling strokes occupy the same ischemic continuum as TIAs and carry a substantial risk of early recurrence with disabling stroke. In this EM Cases podcast we answer questions such as: Which patients with non-disabling stroke can safely go home with prompt follow-up and which require urgent investigation or admission? Which stroke mimics do we need to be on the look out for and how do we identify them at the bedside? How dangerous is thrombolysis in a patient with presumed stroke who turns out to be a stroke mimic? What are the key distinguishing features between a stroke and functional neurologic disorder? What are the most common causes of stroke in young people that we commonly miss? How does stroke etiology dictate the management pathway? What are the indications for carotid endarterectomy in patients with non-disabling stroke and what is the ideal timing of the endarderectomy? When is dual antiplatelet therapy vs single antiplatelet thereapy vs anticoagulant therapy indicated? What is the best medication strategy for the patient on a DOAC for atrial fibrillation who presents to the ED with a non-disabling stroke? For patients not on a DOAC for atrial fibrillation who come in with a stroke, when is it safe to start anticoagulation? and many more...
