Published: July 12, 2020, 11 p.m.

Welcome back everyone to another episode of TheCase.Report!

\n

If you\u2019re a denizen of med twitter like us, then your world will have been rocked by the HALT-IT trial results too. But it\u2019s important to remember that there\u2019s more to upper GI bleeding than TXA!

\n

With that in mind, Orla, Timbs and Mohammed will tackle a case of an upper GI bleed. Think they\u2019re up to the challenge? Our AITR Dr. Trish Lucey will check their work!

\n

For our second segment, Timbs sat down with Dr. Nicolas Lim to chat about Suction Assisted Laryngoscopy Airway Decontamination (SALAD) \u2013 and I apologize in advance for all the salad jokes\u2026

\n

For our last segment today, we\u2019ve got a changeover special! Orla\u2019s kindly come back with some tips for anyone new to EM, to help you get started on the right track.

\n

Right, let\u2019s get to it!
