Emergency Medicine Reviews and Perspectives (EM:RAP) was founded in September of 2001 with a simple mission: provide the best medical education to emergency medicine practitioners everywhere. For more than twenty years, EM:RAP has passionately pursued this goal. In doing so, we have become the most listened to audio program in emergency medicine, with more listeners than the total number of emerge

ncy physicians in the United States. Today, EM:RAP continues to expand its mission through emergency medicine and beyond with a culture of continuous innovation. We’ve developed educational products that have re-defined standards for medical education, and we continue to challenge ourselves by developing new technologies, employing expertise from fields beyond medicine, and re-imagining what makes learning powerful. EM:RAP’s commitment to medical education also extends beyond national borders. To date, clinicians from over 160 countries have relied on EM:RAP for cutting-edge, mission critical education. Our products have made a difference in patients’ lives amidst public health crises, active warzones, and resource limited settings. While access to expert emergency medical care is expected in high resource nations, in many lower resource communities emergency medicine is still in its infancy. Through our nonprofit, EM:RAP Global Outreach, we are connecting a global community of scholarship that provides outreach and education where high-quality emergency care is needed most. We are a team of doctors, educators, designers, videographers, audio engineers, and artists, dedicated to improving healthcare by transforming medical education. More importantly, we are people who believe everyone deserves access to the highest level of medical care. We believe that great education makes great clinicians, and great clinicians take great care of patients.

Patients with intermaxillary wires can develop painful mucosal irritation, but there’s an easy ED hack. Bone wax (yes, the OR staple) can be molded over wires to reduce friction and provide quick relief. Just don’t use it in patients with bee allergies!

This week on “Medicine of the Pitt” Mel and Mizuho are all about that ocular compartment syndrome. In S1, EP10, a pitcher is hit in the eye with a baseball and the docs perform a lateral canthotomy to relieve the IOP. 👁️

It’s a cool procedure, but one I’m guessing you have not performed a lot or maybe even ever. Tune into the entire segment to hear a discussion about an alternative to the lateral canthotomy called the “vertical lid split”. It’s nice to have choices right? ✂️

Check out the CorePendium chapter on this procedure and click on deep dive for a look at some incredible illustrations. 🖼️📚
