Over the next couple weeks, I want to take a break from the normal disease based podcasts. Instead, I want to shift our focus and discuss some high yield useful scoring, equations, and algorithms, such as the NEXUS C-Spine rule, PERC rule, calcium correction for albumin, FENA, free water deficit for hyponatremia, etc.

There are a ton to know. But, I want to touch on the ones I use day in and day out. 

You're probably thinking...

Well, Zach, I can just hop online and use the free calculator. 

And, I agree. Use those for the math side of things. However, you need to know why and when to use them to help improve your patient care.

I want to break this all down by organ system. This week we'll touch on neurology, respiratory, and cardiac.  

So, let's begin!
