Papers of October 2022

Welcome back to the podcast!

First up this month we’re going have a think about fluid therapy, following an RCT focussing on those patients attending ED with moderate severity acute pancreatitis; are we flooding them with fluid & should we ease off?

Next we take a look at a paper evaluating the intubation performances between CCPs and physicians in prehospital anaesthesia of trauma patients.

Lastly we look at another RCT, this time comparing the benefit of surgical versus conservative management of significant chest wall trauma.

Once again we’d love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via twitter @TheResusRoom.
