We’ve got a broad array of topics and papers for you this month!
First up we look at a paper from the NEJM assessing the potential benefits in providing ventilations to patients undergoing an RSI. Next we look at patients presenting with both syncope and pre-syncope to the emergency department, this paper quantifies the risk that we should be apportioning to these two different presentations. Finally we look at a paper that suggests the manual pulse check in CPR is dead, and that the time has come for doppler and ultrasound to replace it.
As always make sure you take a look at the papers yourselves and draw you own conclusions, we’d love to hear your thoughts.
Enjoy!
Simon & Rob
