Description
Get our free clinical lab guide: https://www.medgeeks.co/labguide - Over the next couple weeks, I want to take a break from the normal disease based podcasts. Instead, I want to shift our focus and discuss some high yield useful scoring, equations, and algorithms, such as the NEXUS C-Spine rule, PERC rule, calcium correction for albumin, FENA, free water deficit for hyponatremia, etc. There are a ton to know. But, I want to touch on the ones I use day in and day out. You're probably thinking... Well, Zach, I can just hop online and use the free calculator. And, I agree. Use those for the math side of things. However, you need to know why and when to use them to help improve your patient care. I want to break this all down by organ system. This week we'll touch on neurology, respiratory, and cardiac. So, let's begin! - Follow us on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/medgeeksinc - Check out our course material here: https://medgeeks.co - This podcast should not be used in any legal capacity whatsoever, including but not limited to establishing standard of care in a legal sense or as a basis for expert witness testimony.
