Chris Bishop discusses the emerging use of VA ECMO for cardiovascular failure after trauma in this Tactical Trauma 2024 podcast. The interview considers patient selection after haemorrhage control, bleeding risks and the limited experience available to guide this approach.
The June 2024 podcast round-up discusses nebulised ketamine, intubation risks, defibrillation strategies and preoxygenation, including the PREOXI trial. It also considers how to give better presentations and how research findings translate into practice when equipment and local routines differ.
A review of a randomised trial comparing non-invasive ventilation with an oxygen mask for preoxygenation before emergency intubation. It examines the risk of hypoxaemia, the limits of the comparison and how the findings might apply to critically ill patients.
Could nebulised ketamine offer an alternative to intravenous ketamine for acute pain in the emergency department? This review examines a randomised trial, its analgesic outcomes and the uncertainties around rescue analgesia, patient selection and comparison with usual care.
This JC from St Emlyn's looks at a paper from SJTRM and explores the association between first-pass success (FPS) during pre-hospital intubation and 30-day mortality in patients treated by Finnish helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS).
Practical perspectives on trauma care and team leadership.
