Summary

Introducing EM Basic Essential Evidence- your boot camp guide to emergency medicine literature. Each episode will review an important emergency medicine article from the ground up. We'll review the study's design, basic statistics, results, and wrap it up with some analysis to help you understand the study and how to put it into your everyday practice. The goal here is to provide a guide through the emergency medicine literature so you can read and understand the "must know" studies out there.

This is also the re-launch of EM Basic to a weekly podcast format. Every monday morning, a new episode will be uploaded to start the week. Each week will alternate between a regular review episode and an essential evidence episode. For the essential evidence episodes, I will try to split up the episodes each month- one episode on a landmark article and one episode on a newer article that is making the rounds. I have a list of articles that I will be talking about but if there are any studies out there that you think I should cover, email me at [email protected].

For this first episode, we'll talk about the famous Rivers sepsis study that started the push to early goal directed therapy for sepsis in the ED. Although I talked about this study a lot on the sepsis podcast a while back, we'll talk more in depth about the study so you can really understand it.

0:00.0	Hey everybody, it's Steve Carroll from the InBasad podcast.
0:04.6	Today I'm debuting a brand new feature for the podcast.
0:07.6	After doing this podcast for a year and thinking about where I want it to go,
0:11.4	I've decided to step up production a little bit to give you a weekly podcast.
0:15.3	I'm going to give it a shot and see how it goes.
0:17.7	My plan is to release a new episode every Monday morning,
0:22.3	so when you wake up on Monday, there will be a new episode to start your week. Don't worry, you'll still get an in-depth
0:27.6	review of an emergency medicine topic twice a month, just like before, but for the weeks in
0:33.2	between, we'll be doing what I'm calling EM Basic Essential Evidence. In these short podcasts,
0:39.1	I'll be reviewing the literature that I think you should know, or at least be aware of. For each
0:44.0	episode, I'll talk about one article that is either the old game changer that everyone knows about,
0:49.8	or a newer article hot off the presses that everyone else is talking about. Either way, I want it to be a gateway to your own reading in the literature, and not just listening
0:58.7	to me spoon-feed the information.
1:01.0	For each episode, I'll talk about a particular study in-depth, and I'll cover the study design,
1:06.6	its methods, the results, and the bottom line that you need to know.
1:12.0	I'll even talk about the basic statistical methods used in the results, and the bottom line that you need to know. I'll even talk about the basic statistical methods used in the article and throw in some clinical pearls along the way.
1:17.3	But don't take my word for it. My goal is for you to download the article and read through it
1:22.2	yourself and draw your own conclusions based on your own knowledge and experience. I won't be providing
1:28.0	any written summaries to this part of the podcast because I want you to go look up the
1:32.5	articles for yourself. Many of them are available online for free because they are the big
1:37.5	names in EM literature, but some you may have to get through your institution's medical library
1:42.2	or internet subscription like Ovid. Whenever the free text of the article is available, I'll post it directly on the EM Basic
