@raghu_venugopal @NightShiftMD @PeterJohns84 @TheSGEM Big difference between "CAN" EPs use HINTS correctly versus "DO" EPs currently use HINTS correctly. Data are clear that we don't, but data are equally clear that, with training, we CAN. The majority is correct that we don't, but wrong that we can't learn!
@LWestafer @TheSGEM Two comments. First, OK, there is nothing quite like watching the tube go through the cords, or the rush of air from a chest tube for a Ptx, but the Epley is INCREDIBLY FUN!! The nursemaid's elbow of neurology. And as for "good faith", it's really good Dx and good technique.
@Hamishmcmack @TheSGEM @PeterJohns84 @ZoiNetou @SAEMonline @NeurologyToday @aleksmineyko @syaddana_neuro @neuroccm @robertohle @marymclean85 HINTS & BPPV Dx/Rx techniques are NOT 'shortcuts' anymore than testing limb ataxia/Babinski are shortcuts. The 'difficulties' are partly b/c people are hesitant to use them. Dix-Hallpike/Epley are not new. HINTS is not magic. Sure, be humble, but be smart too.
Custom Image imgflip.com/i/7luadg via @imgflip OK, last Star Wars meme on HINTS and dizziness. Believing that you can intubate, place a chest tube, do a FAST exam, use up to date bedside exams for dizziness, you won't ever learn.
imgflip.com/i/7lu6jf via @imgflip Don't use the old "what do you mean dizzy"? (symptom quality) approach. Ask about timing and triggers of dizziness, just like you would a chest pain patient
Don't use dizziness symptom quality but rather its timing & triggers Custom Image imgflip.com/i/7lu6jf via @imgflip

Custom Image imgflip.com/i/7lu3nv via @imgflip Must be open minded to learn new techniques; think POCUS.

We write in black and white right in the abstract that, "it is not standard of care". How much more clear could one be that HINTS is NOT standard of care. Not buried on page 10, but IN THE ABSTRACT!!
@emlitofnote @SAEMEBM @DrJessePines @embasic @lucasojesilva12 @SAEMonline @mfbellolio @SameerSharifMD @SuneelUpadhye @DanyaKhoujah @dromron @MDaware @EMSwami @broomedocs @EMManchester @EMEducation @MayoClinic @klinelab Re: it being aspirational, it is. But and it differs from a CG that you can start tomorrow & that's why we focus on TRAINING (previous post - it works). Should we not have the target at delivering BETTER patient care than we currently give?
@emlitofnote @SAEMEBM @DrJessePines @embasic @lucasojesilva12 @SAEMonline @mfbellolio @SameerSharifMD @SuneelUpadhye @DanyaKhoujah @dromron @MDaware @EMSwami @broomedocs @EMManchester @EMEducation @MayoClinic @klinelab Apart from anecdote (mine, Peter Johns, others), there are 3 articles showing that training works and works well (Gerlier, 2021 and 2023 AEM and Vanni 2017). NOT speculation but data from large numbers of patients!
@emlitofnote @SameerSharifMD @SAEMEBM @DrJessePines @embasic @lucasojesilva12 @SAEMonline @mfbellolio @SuneelUpadhye @DanyaKhoujah @dromron @MDaware @EMSwami @broomedocs @EMManchester @EMEducation @GRADE_McMaster @GRADE_WG 'Zero miss' for ANY diagnosis is not c/w biology or normal practice. GRACE-3 does NOT argue that is should be for PC stoke!! But we do advocate for fewer misses than current care - I don't see that as a bad thing, nor a malpractice risk
@emlitofnote @SameerSharifMD @SAEMEBM @DrJessePines @embasic @lucasojesilva12 @SAEMonline @mfbellolio @SuneelUpadhye @DanyaKhoujah @dromron @MDaware @EMSwami @broomedocs @EMManchester @EMEducation @GRADE_McMaster @GRADE_WG @DNewmanToker First, re: time HINTS takes ~ 1min ,<3min including BPPV maneuvers (Vanni 2023 AEM). New data since our search. This can save HOURS of ED LOS on the back end. Have been using these tests for ~ 10 years - it is NOT a burden, any more than POCUS is.
@TheSGEM @PeterJohns84 @Hamishmcmack @SAEMEBM @drjeffgoodloe @mfbellolio @AcademicEmerMed @SAEMonline @klinelab But that doesn't necessitate a MR in pts with vestibular migraine, or an atypical BPPV (or dizzy sepsis or drug intox pts) w/o nystagmus. So maybe our Rec could have been better crafted/word-smithed, but we are CLEAR that we are re: not doing HIT in AVS pts w/o nystagmus.
@TheSGEM @PeterJohns84 @Hamishmcmack @SAEMEBM @drjeffgoodloe @mfbellolio @AcademicEmerMed @SAEMonline @klinelab OK, his issues with Rec: 6. Maybe not the most artful wording, b/c we were trying to limit the # of recs, but the only safe way to avoid MR in an AVS patient is if your exam = peripheral. We are clear that HIT is only validated in AVS + nystagmus. (TBC)
@TheSGEM @PeterJohns84 @Hamishmcmack @SAEMEBM @drjeffgoodloe @mfbellolio @AcademicEmerMed @SAEMonline @klinelab One more point about hc-BPPV: @KevinKerber12 and I wrote a companion BPPV article. We get into the weeds of the horizontal canal. It's important. We hope as people's comfort with pc-BPPV increases, they will begin to notice the horizontal nystagmus of hc-BPPV.
@TheSGEM @PeterJohns84 @Hamishmcmack @SAEMEBM @drjeffgoodloe @mfbellolio @AcademicEmerMed @SAEMonline @klinelab Re: hc-BPPV, we debated ad nauseam including it and even VOTED on it. I wanted to include hc-BPPV, but was outvoted. Those voting against were not saying it's unimportant, but that TMI would get in the way of recommendation uptake, "perfect being the enemy of the good".
@TheSGEM @PeterJohns84 @Hamishmcmack @SAEMEBM @drjeffgoodloe @mfbellolio @AcademicEmerMed @SAEMonline @klinelab Re: "jumping right to HINTS", our intro defines "isolated" dizziness calling out focal findings (diplopia, dysarthria, weakness, limb ataxia, Horners) so although Peter is unhappy with how or where we said it, the history & exam are obviously quite important
@TheSGEM @PeterJohns84 @Hamishmcmack @SAEMEBM @drjeffgoodloe @mfbellolio @AcademicEmerMed @SAEMonline @klinelab Regarding Peter's "quibble" about our description of the expected "upbeat torsional" (our words) "vertical torsional" (Peter's words), we are saying the same thing. We actually did use "vertical torsional" (p444) based on Peter's review of the draft document.
