In this month’s episode of Critical Decisions in Emergency Medicine, Drs. Danya Khoujah and Wendy Chang provide the 411 on recognizing and managing blunt trauma in athletes, including concussions, spinal injuries, chest injuries, and even life-threatening presentations, such as commotio cordis. They also discuss the various approaches to the investigations and treatment of pulmonary effusions, a common disease feature that is not often discussed. In addition, you’ll hear about the hot topics covered in the publication’s regular features, including Critical Procedure and Critical Orthopedics and Trauma.
