Summary

A really strong line up of papers to bring this year's evidence round up to a close!

First up we take a look at a paper evaluating the utility of pulse oximetry (along with several other diagnostic tests) in identifying vascular injury following trauma, a really interesting look at an approach we didn't know much about.

Next up we run through PARAMEDIC-3, a huge RCT looking at the best vascular access strategy for patients in cardiac arrest, will the result of this paper change our approach?

And finally we look at a paper focussing on intubation success rate in US EMS services according to intubation rate.

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

0:00.0	Welcome to the Recess Room podcast.
0:03.5	Five, four, three, two, one, fire.
0:12.4	So hi and welcome back to the Recess Room podcast.
0:15.5	I'm Simon Lang, and I'm Rob Fenwick.
0:18.0	And this is December 2024's Papers of the Month.
0:22.2	Yes, it is, team, so snow, ice, storms.
0:25.1	It's all happening up here in the UK.
0:27.0	But can I just say, where on earth did 2024 go?

0:32.6	Flipping, heck, goodness me.
0:34.4	Well, thankfully, though, Christmas has come early, and what I obviously mean by that is I'm presuming that you really, really wanted some evidence-based medicine for Christmas.
0:42.7	Well, the strawberry blonde Santa and I have got three papers to ease you into the festive period. So first up, we've got a paper looking at whether we can use a SAT probe to exclude vascular injuries to limbs after trauma.
0:56.2	Then I'll be picking up the paramedic three trials, so looking at IV or IO accessing cardiac arrest.
1:01.7	And then last but definitely not least, we've got a paper looking at intubation rates
1:06.2	comparing it to success rates within different services in the US.
1:10.6	So yeah, really varied topics and
1:12.9	it should be a good one, Simon Lang. It should be indeed. And many thanks for slipping in that
1:18.6	thing about a present because my older daughter does listen to the podcast. So really good that
1:23.1	she's aware of what she should be expecting for Christmas. This is it. Here it comes. Here it comes.
1:31.0	Before we get into it, though, a huge thanks to Zol Medical Corporation for collaborating with
1:36.0	us on the podcast and making this all free open access and available to you in the pursuit
1:41.5	of excellent patient care. And they also provide the CPD portal where you can go
