Summary
This month we've got three papers covering a wide variety of topics and practice in emergency care.
First up we'll be looking at whether pre-charging the defibrillator prior to rhythm analysis in cardiac arrest can decrease our hands-off time.
Next we take a look at a paper that can help inform our assessment and investigation of trauma patients; looking at the risk of concomitant injuries with regards to specific levels of spinal trauma.
Finally have a think about how different methods of extrication affect spinal movements from road traffic collisions; will it make a difference to your extrication method and speed?
Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via twitter @TheResusRoom.

| 0:38.7 | with different levels of spinal fractures and also one looking at extrication methods following |
| 0:43.9 | motor vehicle collisions. So pretty varied this month, Simon Lang. It is indeed, mate. And |
| 0:48.9 | almost the sort of topic there on the third one for extrication that you might be excited about. |
| 0:53.4 | So we wait to see who |
| 0:54.8 | the authors were for that paper. But anyway, before we get going, a big thanks to SJTrem, the |
