Summary
Welcome back, this is our last podcast before our short summer break!
We start off having a look at the physiological effects of prolonged resuscitation with a supraglottic device compared with endotracheal intubation, which raises some really interesting questions about our ongoing ventilation strategy in resuscitations.
Next up we look at an RCT comparing RSI to DSI in critically injured patients and the effect on peri-intubation hypoxia.
Finally we take a look at the practice of lateral canthotomy for retrobulbar haemorrhage/orbital compartment syndrome. How effective is the procedure and how competent are EM clinicians compared to Opthalmogists?
Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via twitter @TheResusRoom and we'll see you back in September!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the recess room podcast. |
| 0:03.5 | Five, four, three, two, one, fire. |
| 0:12.2 | So hi, and welcome back to the recess room podcast. I'm Simon Lang, and I'm Rob Fenwick. |
| 0:18.3 | And this is August 23's Papers of the Month |
| 0:22.8 | Yes indeed |
| 0:23.7 | Already in August and somebody somewhere on the planet |
| 0:26.8 | is getting a nice warm summer |
| 0:28.2 | But that isn't me so far |
| 0:29.8 | Thankfully the recent rain that has been around |
| 0:32.7 | Has been a perfect excuse to have a look at this month's papers though |
| 0:36.2 | And we are going to be taking a look at |
| 0:38.2 | superglotic airways in refractory cardiac arrest. We're going to take a look at an RCT of rapid |
| 0:44.1 | sequence induction versus delayed sequence induction for trauma patients and finally lateral |
| 0:49.5 | cathotomy. So some big topics in there this month langersanger's? There are indeed, Rob, but you know, |
| 0:54.3 | you don't need to be too flat about the weather, do you? We've had a recent, significant |
| 0:58.2 | life event for one of the team, and I can hear thousands of hearts breaking across the |
| 1:03.7 | speakers as you're listening to this, because Rob Fenwick is now officially off the market. |
| 1:10.0 | I can't hear anyone crying or shedding a tear about that, but thank you for the sentiment, yes. |
| 1:15.2 | Indeed, it was a fantastic day, lovely to have both you and James share it with us, and even better to see the back of you the day after. |
| 1:22.8 | We are, of course, talking about Rob's recent wedding, which was absolutely fantastic. |
| 1:28.5 | And you say you can't hear anyone crying, but I'm pretty sure that Caroline will be pretty disappointed in realizing what she signed up for for the rest of her life. |
