We cover ultrasound guided pericardiocentesis using the posts from <a href="https://emin5.com/2016/07/11/pericardiocentesis/" target="_blank">EMin5</a>, <a href= "https://coreem.net/core/ultrasound-guided-pericardiocentesis/" target="_blank">CoreEM</a>, and the <a href= "http://www.ultrasoundpodcast.com/2013/03/ultrasound-guided-pericardiocentesis-microcast-foamed-education-mainlined/" target="_blank">Ultrasound Podcast</a>. Then, we delve into core content on the pericardium using Rosen’s (8th ed) Chapter 82 and Tintinalli (8th ed) Chapter 55 covering pericardial effusions, pericarditis, and myocarditis.   Thanks for listening!

Episode 55 - Petechiae & Purupra

We  believe in the educational merits of Free Open Access Medical education (FOAM), which includes podcasts, blogs, articles on PubMed Central, conferences streamed for free and more.  As a result, we would like to encourage others to move beyond quoting podcasts and into the realm of tying “cutting edge” FOAM to the core content.  We’ll provide some review and references for listeners to go read.  Why, indeed, should we FOAM it alone when FOAM can inspire us to go, read, think, and be excellent?
