Top 10 papers from 2022-2023 for the SASEM 2023 conference in Jeddah.
Journal Club review of the ARREST trial showing that bypass to a cardiac arrest centre in London does not improve outcomes. #FOAMed #cardiology @stemlyns
Can clinicians identify life threatening injury in trauma patients? Probably not as reliably as we would wish according to this paper from London. Even in an experienced high performing EHPC team it’s tricky to discern which patients have life threatening, limb threatening or significant bleeding injuries. #FOAMed @stemlyns
The TOP-ART trial of Artesunate in the treatment of bleeding trauma patients. This RCT shows no benefit and potential harm, but it may be more complex than that. Further work may be needed on immunomodulation in bleeding trauma patients. @stemlyns #FOAMed
Zaf Qasim @resusone reviews the UKREBOA trial. No benefit shown, but is this really the end of REBOA in trauma? #FOAMed @stemlyns
Critical appraisal of the DEVICE trial as published in 2023 NEJM. VL outperforms DL in this study of critically unwell patients. #FOAMed #airway @stemlyns
