Summary

Welcome to August's papers of the month.

So this is our last offering for the summer until whilst we take a short break until September, so we had to finish off we 3 great papers!

First up we look at the drug of the moment (or decade...) in tranexamic acid and the effect that it has on outcomes in primary intracerebral haemorrhage.

Next, what role does point of care ultrasound (POCUS) hold in the patient presenting with undifferentiated shock? We look at a randomised control trial of POCUS in this patient cohort that assesses the ability to translate POCUS into a mortality benefit.

Finally we look at a delphi study published in the EMJ which explores expert opinion upon multiple aspects of paediatric traumatic arrests. The results are fascinating and may inform some of the CRM used in the next case you see.

As always we strongly suggest you have a look at the papers yourself and come to your own conclusions. Make sure you check out the hyperlinked blogs below that we mention in the podcast that contain some fantastic critiques. We'd also love to hear any comments either at the foot of this page or on twitter to @TheResusRoom.

Enjoy!

0:50.5	But we're looking at point of care ultrasound in ED for undifferentiated
0:54.8	hypertension, we're looking at pediatric traumatic arrest, and we're then looking at
1:01.0	TXA, the answer to everything that bleeds for primary intra-cerebral hemorrhage.
1:07.7	Oosh, love it.
1:10.0	Indeed.
1:11.3	Before we get into the papers, a massive thanks to AbPrak, the sponsor of the podcast.
