In this episode of ACEP Frontline, recorded live from ACEP26 in Chicago, Dr. Ryan Stanton is joined by Matthew Pavlichko, host of the RT Sidebar Podcast, and Dr. Jessica Whittle to discuss the recognition and significance of increased work of breathing in emergency medicine patients. They explore the clinical importance of identifying respiratory distress early, the role of objective assessment and team-based care, and practical strategies for using work of breathing as an early warning sign of serious underlying illness before patient deterioration occurs.
In this Frontline Weekend Playlist episode, hear Dr. Jesse Pines present “The Current and Future of Artificial Intelligence in Emergency Departments” at the Fourth Annual Leadership Symposium & EM: High Risk – Do Not Miss Conference in Beaver Creek, Colorado. He explores the rapidly evolving role of AI in emergency medicine, discussing current applications such as ambient documentation, clinical decision support, chart summarization, and quality improvement while examining the opportunities, limitations, and future implications of AI for emergency physicians.
Recorded at ACEP26 Scientific Assembly in Chicago, Dr. Ryan Stanton talks with Dr. Matthew Roginski, an emergency physician and intensivist at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, about the underused and controversial medications that come into play when septic or distributive shock stops responding to the basics. Dr. Roginski lays out a tiered approach, starting with fluids, norepinephrine, and vasopressin, then adding steroids, epinephrine, bicarbonate, and calcium, and finally turning to last-resort options such as methylene blue, angiotensin II, and hydroxocobalamin. He is candid about how thin the evidence gets at each step, including the serotonin syndrome risk with methylene blue. Just as important is his emphasis on a resuscitation checkpoint, a built-in pause to ask whether the data are right and the diagnosis is correct. He also encourages community physicians to build relationships with intensivists and pharmacists before the 3 AM crisis.
In this Frontline Weekend Playlist episode, hear Dr. Patrick Kneeland present “Elevating Our Game: Cultivating Connected Transformation in Healthcare Settings” at the Fourth Annual Leadership Symposium & EM: High Risk – Do Not Miss Conference in Beaver Creek, Colorado. He explores the drivers of professional well-being, psychological safety, and team culture, sharing practical leadership strategies for fostering connection, collaboration, resilience, and meaningful change in complex healthcare environments.
In this episode of ACEP Frontline, Dr. Ryan Stanton is joined by Dr. Peter Pruitt, chair of the ACEP Research Forum for ACEP26 in Chicago, to discuss the growth of emergency medicine research and the opportunities available to clinicians, residents, and aspiring researchers. He highlights this year’s Research Forum programming and shares practical insights from his session on conducting high-quality retrospective chart reviews, including how to avoid common pitfalls, generate meaningful research questions, and build a foundation for future practice-changing studies.
In this special edition episode of ACEP Frontline, Dr. Ryan Stanton is joined by Dr. Danya Khoujah, co-host of ACEP's Critical Decisions in Emergency Medicine podcast, to discuss ACEP's new Emergency Medicine Audio Network. They discuss their own podcast series as well as the rest of the network's audio offerings and the importance of being able to access clinical updates through different mediums.
In this episode of ACEP Frontline, Dr. Ryan Stanton is joined by Dr. Sean Ochsenbein to reflect on the Hurricane Helene flooding that inundated Unicoi County Hospital in Erwin, Tennessee, forcing a rooftop evacuation of patients and staff. He shares the leadership, disaster response, and emergency management lessons learned during the unprecedented flood, detailing how healthcare teams, first responders, and military rescue crews worked together to safely evacuate everyone from the hospital amid rapidly rising floodwaters.
In this Frontline Weekend Playlist episode, hear Dr. Andrew French, Vice President and Physician Executive for Quality, Safety, and Clinical Operations at Centura Health, present "Critical Connections, Leadership in Emergency Medicine" from the Fourth Annual Leadership Symposium and EM: High Risk, Do Not Miss Conference in Beaver Creek, Colorado. Dr. French reframes leadership as influence rather than title or authority, and argues that emergency medicine, with its daily demands for adaptability, quick decision making, and managing a huge range of perspectives under pressure, is the ideal training ground for building that skill. He walks through a practical framework for developing leadership on shift, starting with a simple personal leadership statement and building toward leading teams and larger systems, and makes the case that emergency physicians are uniquely positioned to lead change across the broader healthcare system. The throughline is that leadership is not acquired knowledge but a skill built through repeated practice, and the emergency department is the best laboratory available for building it.
