Broomedocs Podcast

This is a clinical case discussion I participated in for the RVTS Grand Rounds. Thanks to the team for inviting me and providing the audio  tough case with lots of pearls to take away

I have learned a lot about the rational prescribing of vancomycin in the last few years and have read literally hundreds of papers on the topic.  In true "Broome Docs" style I have dived deep down the rabbit hole of pharmacological, microbiological and clinical literature to bring you what I think is a 'better way' to use vancomycin in small, rural hospitals.

Dr Justin Morgenstern and Damian Roland do a deep dive into the latest data around Paeds Seizure management after Eclipse and Consept trials were published.   Or maybe there is a better way?

Another instalment of the journal jam with Justin Morgenstern. This month we talk neonatal sepsis, nocebos, Pink Ladies, fever, tramadol, chin lacs and drinking strategies....

This is a discussion on the recent CREDENCE trial for canagliflozin in diabetics with nephropathy.  

This is a discussion with Dr Roger Browning (Obstetric Anaesthetist) about his approach to the crashing GA Caesarean scenario. You can hear more of his pearls at the ObsGynae CritCare podcast     

Sadly, the final SMACC conference danced its last moves on Friday. It was an amazing week with lots of learning, inspiration and camaraderie. After the last SMACC in Berlin Justin and I resolved to try and create the best journal club ever at the final SMACC in Sydney.... and I reckon we have done it!

Dr Adam O'Brien and Claire Lissaman are the authors of a new study looking at the diagnostic characteristics of lung US for Paediatric pneumonia. In this interview we talk about the study and how to scan kids with chest disease.

In this episode Justin and I cover bad science about Xa reversal, good science about sharks, syncope and how to cheat Death.... amongst other random serious stuff

The latest instalment of the RADU / Broomedocs podcast. GA Caesarean thoughts Minimalist desert island appendix anaesthesia Frusemide mythology A tricky case for the team

The year is drawing to a close and we have just one more chance to learn from my very wise, ex-Canadian friend Dr Justin Morgenstern.  In this month's episode, Justin and I discuss a bunch of papers.  Topics include: Paediatric plastic poop OOHCA Airway options Weingart's suction failure Cricoid pressure is not-non-inferior to nothing a new nasal spray for SVT How much insulin is sweet? Parachutes: are they really worth the extra luggage fees?

The 3rd instalment of the journal club for rural GP Anaesthetists. This month we look at papers on medication safety, midazolam as a premed, URTI in kids for elective surgery and lignocaine infusions 

This is a story that I told at the DFTB18 storytelling event. The theme was about kindness, justice and hope. It is a personal, non-clinical story that I hope can help others out there.  

The latest episode of the EBM journal club with Dr Justin Morgenstern  This month we cover a lot of fluids - saline, balance, FFP as well as some penile fractures and Justin explain why he is a great driver.

This month we cover bougies, brain-bleeds and the best Paeds DKA paper ever.  We also degenerate into the recent and remote evolutionary history of hiccoughs... fun times are to be had!

This podcast contains a discussion on the How, Why, where and Who of central line insertion...  

This is the second instalment of the Rural Anaesthesia Journal Club. I am joined by Drs Alex Harris and Mel Little to discuss: NAP6, soiled airways, Caesar spinal dose adjustments and the RELIEF trial.

A series of chats with some new and old friends at the #GPDU18 conference 

This month we cover biases, show our biases about bronchiolitis therapy, cute scrotums, judging and dealing with capacity and how butt-slapping might help you delouse your colleagues.... [DISCLAIMER: we do not recommend that extradural hemorrhage ever be treated with an Ezy-IO drill, it is silly and dangerous.] If any of that sounds like your deal then have a listen.  If you are super patient and listen all the way through there is a real treat for you.... ... a world premiere musical parody song by Dr. Gerry Considine and yours truly. ( we are kinda like Elton & Bernie)  

In this month's episode Justin and I cover chest pain, LPs, nebulised furosemide and of course the sport of Quidditch
