Costas T. Lambrew Research Retreat 2023
Background: There are known regional disparities in treatment rates with thrombolysis and thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke. BEFAST has been implemented in acute stroke protocols to aid in recognition of signs of stroke, but its utility in a rural ED is not well known.

Costas T. Lambrew Research Retreat 2023
Introduction: Resuscitative TEE is an emerging tool in the cardiac arrest tool-box, and can improve outcomes in OHCA.
• Identifies reversible causes
• Decreases time off chest
• Evaluates compression efficacy
• Improves assessment during pulse-checks
• Simulation training can prepare EM residents to obtain and interpret TEE views on a live patient.

Maine Medical Center
Background: Pulmonary embolus (PE) is associated with significant utilization of health care resources and financial burden Several additions that have allowed us to look at safely treating patients with PEs as outpatients:
• Simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (sPESI) -Risk stratifies patients based on their age, vital signs, and past medical history
• Novel oral anticoagulants
Primary Objective: To describe the population, treatment strategies, short-term complications and outcomes associated with outpatient management of PE following treatment in the ED.
