Episode Notes

The Vandy IM Residency Podcast is back with a new episode! The theme of this episode is "Things We Do For No Reason". Braden, David, and Michael each discuss an article from the journal series "Choosing Wisely: Things We Do For No Reason". The topics include routine contact precautions for MRSA and VRE, supplemental oxygen in patients without hypoxemia, and the utility of FeNa.

The article links are below. And the individual studies we mention can be found within those articles.
