OVERVIEW

The Curbsiders Episode #485 Things We Do For No Reason (from SHM Converge 2025) 2025-2028 is organized by VCU Health Continuing Education.

Tuesday, September 2, 2025, 12:00 PM - Saturday, September 2, 2028, 11:59 PM

Description:
Brush up on your high-value care by exploring four Things We Do For No Reason with experts Dr. Tony Breu (@tony_breu, Harvard University) and Dr. Lenny Feldman (@DocLennyF, Johns Hopkins University). Follow along as they explore lactate-guided resuscitation in shock, beta blocker use with cocaine, holding anticoagulation in patients with fall risk, and discharge before noon.

Objectives:

Upon completion of this activity, you will be able to:

  1. Identify why lactate is not an appropriate sole marker to guide resuscitation in shock.
  2. Distill why beta blockers are not contraindicated in patients with current or past cocaine use.
  3. Review why discontinuing anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation may cause more harm than good.
  4. Explore why discharge before noon is an unhelpful metric for patient flow and length of stay.
