Summary
Happy New Year!
Well we've got three really excellent papers to start off your new year with!
First up we take a look at the complication rates seen when performing a prehospital thoracostomy; how frequent are complications and what could this information hold in improving our ongoing practice?
Next up we take a look at an RCT on the use of Calcium in the context of cardiac arrest. Can it's inotropic and vasopressor effects translate into better outcomes for our patients?
Lastly we take a look at another excellent RCT comparing the use of a bougie to a stylet in adult emergency intubations; which will lead to a great first pass success and will the results lead to a change in or practice and teaching?
Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via twitter @TheResusRoom.

| 0:20.5 | Welcome to January 22's Papers of the Month |
| 0:24.8 | podcast indeed happy new year are we making the same joke about recording it at midnight or we're |
| 0:29.8 | going to acknowledge that it was recorded a bit earlier there's a lot of changing stuff going on |
| 0:34.1 | with house care at the moment so we are recording this a little bit early but I can can tell you, we have got three cracking papers for you. We have got a paper looking |
| 0:40.9 | at open thoracostomies in pre-hospital care. We have got a paper looking at calcium in cardiac |
| 0:47.3 | arrest, and we have got one looking at bougie versus stylet in endotracheal intubation. So it's a |
| 0:53.6 | great start to 2022, my friend. |
| 0:55.7 | It is. And thank goodness you remembered we made that joke last year because it was exactly what |
| 1:00.0 | was flabbing on to me. I think it was not being funny. I think we've done it every year. |
| 1:05.7 | The kids really do need to get me a new joke book for the recordings. It would be really |
| 1:10.0 | useful next Christmas. I'll make sure they've got that for the recordings. It would be really useful next Christmas. |
| 1:11.2 | I'll make sure they've got that on the list. Anyway, these are three really interesting |
| 1:16.3 | papers that have been talked about a lot online recently. So I look forward to getting into that |
| 1:20.8 | discussion. Before we get into it, a big thanks to S.J. Trem, the Scandinavian Journal of Trauma |
