What happens after an overdose of a GLP-1 agonist such as semaglutide? This appraisal examines US poison-centre data on dosing errors, reported symptoms and hypoglycaemia, and considers how incomplete reporting and broad outcome definitions limit what the study can tell emergency clinicians.
This retrospective study explores the link between intra-arrest arterial blood pressure (IBP) and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
Could smaller chest drains be an option for traumatic haemothorax? This appraisal examines a systematic review comparing small- and large-bore tubes, including treatment failure and patient selection, and asks how far findings from stable patients can be applied to emergency drainage.
