Summary

Here's a look at some of the papers that caught our eye this month.

In this podcast we cover a paper looking at the significance of findings with the history, physical exam and imaging in subarachnoid haemorrhage to inform your work up.

We look at another paper focussing on total body versus selective CT scanning in trauma and lastly a paper looking at the validation of the DECAF score to predict mortality in COPD exacerbations.

We've also got the e book 'ABC of Emergency Radiology' to give away on iTunes thanks to our new sponsors ADPRAC.

A. The use of selective CT scanning in major trauma leads to a dramatic decrease in radiation

B. The use of selective CT scanning in major trauma leads to a decrease in time to diagnosis

C. The use of selective CT scanning in major trauma leads to a decrease in cost per in patient episode

D. The safety of selective CT scanning vs whole body CT scanning was equivocal
