Bladder Decompression in Acute Urinary Retention and, Bougie-Assisted Intubation
Team JC is happy to announce another in-person journal club! We are excited to host our first combined JC/Volleyball event at the beautiful Virginia Beach Sports Complex and encourage all folks to join in to help balance any height discrepancies that exist among our residents. Of course, we will need to justify all the fun, so we will be critically appraising two clinical topics. The first was precipitated by an ED case that is being written up for publication regarding acute urinary retention. There is limited high quality data on how to best manage folks who present with AUR and it will be useful to include a recent case and the lessons learned. In addition, we will look at two articles by the same lead authors on the use of bougie assisted intubation in critical patients in the ED. Interestingly, the findings were a bit disparate between the authors' two publications and it will be useful to dig a bit deeper to make sense of their findings.
