Teaching only, not clinical advice. Dogmalysis is educational content for clinicians. It is not medical advice, contains no patient data, and does not replace clinical judgement or local guidelines.
A note for trainees: This podcast is shared with emergency medicine trainees. ACEM sets its own expected knowledge, and that often lags the latest evidence by a number of years, as can exam marking. Trainees, particularly in Australasia, should know what ACEM requires for their exams. Treat this podcast as information above and beyond that, not a replacement for it.
Dogmalysis Episode 4: Stop fussing about the middle (post-ROSC oxygen and temperature)
Oxygen and temperature targets after ROSC: what the trials actually show. Teaching content only, not clinical advice.
Dogmalysis Episode 3: Treating the number (bicarbonate in arrest and shock)
Does bicarbonate help in cardiac arrest and shock, or are we treating a number? Teaching content only, not clinical advice.
Dogmalysis Episode 2: The first litre (fluids first vs early pressors in septic shock)
Fluids first or early vasopressors in septic shock? We test the dogma against the evidence. Teaching content only, not clinical advice.
Dogmalysis 1: A bag of mag (magnesium in rapid AF)
Does a bag of mag belong in rapid AF? Right drug, wrong expectation. We turn the belief dial through Davey & Teubner 2005, Ho 2007, LOMAGHI, Chu 2009 and MAGMAR. Take-home: rate, not rhythm; alongside, not instead; 20 mmol (about 5 g), not 36 mmol (about 9 g). Doses in Australian chart units. Re-recorded 10 Oct 2026. Teaching content only, not clinical advice.
