Thursday Spoon Feed:

The first direct comparison of the Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment-Alcohol Revised (CIWA-Ar) scale to a slightly modified Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale (mRASS-AW) in a pre-post quality assurance study found mRASS-AW to not compromise length of stay or safety for the evaluation of alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS), while we already know it to be faster and more intuitive.


Friday Spoon Feed:

This RCT of U.S. patients being evaluated for acute MI using a 0/1 hour hs-cTnI protocol, compared to standard care with a 0/3 hour hs-cTnI protocol, didn’t find a difference in the percentage of patients discharged from the ED nor in the rates of 30 day death or MI.
