Summary

Welcome back to 200th episode of the podcast! A huge thank to all of you for your support and engagement.

Three more papers for you this month to challenge thinking across a board range of Emergency Care. First up we take a look at DOSE VF, an RCT look at the best defibrillation strategy for refractory VF.

Next we take a look at another RCT looking at the potential benefit of dexamethasone, in order to reduce pain in patients suffering with renal colic.

Last up, we've talked a lot about the importance of first pass success in advanced airway management, but what (if any) is the association with mortality in prehospital RSI?

Once again we’d love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via twitter @TheResusRoom.

0:41.7	before things get too festive for us all.
0:44.5	So this month we are talking about defibrillation strategies in refractory VF,
0:49.6	therapies for those painful renal colic patients,
0:53.1	and finally, RSI, first-pass success and the effect on mortality with some potentially surprising results.
1:01.0	Indeed we have, Rob. It actually sounds like you've read the papers before the episode. So this is going to be a promising episode.
1:06.7	Before we get into it, a big thanks to SJTrem, the Scandinavian Journal of Trauma Resuscitation
1:12.2	Emergency Medicine, who partner with us on this podcast and make it all free and open access and
1:17.2	available to you. And I don't think you knew this, Rob, this is our 200th episode.
1:22.9	No way.
1:23.6	So we're big thanks to them. Yeah, absolutely. It is. You have tolerated me throughout all 200 episodes.
1:30.0	And a big congratulations to James for tolerating the roadside to recess episodes as well. And sorry, he couldn't be with us.
1:37.0	Well, my contract runs out at 201, so you better sign me up. Either that or I'm willing to talk other podcasts if anyone's listening.
