Summary
Welcome to July's papers podcast.
There has been a plethora of superb and thought provoking papers published this month and we've got the best 3 that caught our eye for you.
In this episode we look at the potential benefit of early vs late endoscopy in patients presenting with an acute upper GI bleed. Next we look at both intra and post ROSC hyperoxia and the associated outcomes. Finally we have a look at the utility of straight leg raise as a test to rule out potential pelvicfractures in out trauma patients.
We strongly suggest you source the papers and come to your own conclusions and we'd love to hear any comments either at the foot of this page or on twitter to @TheResusRoom.
Enjoy!
Simon & Rob

| 0:13.0 | So hi, and welcome back to the recess room podcast. I'm Simon Lang. |
| 0:18.4 | And I'm a very hot Rob Fenwick, hot in the sense of it being a thousand degrees in my house. |
| 0:24.6 | I thought you were just hugely rating yourself there. |
| 0:28.3 | Only off air, Simon, only off. |
| 0:31.3 | Yeah, we are enjoying a beautiful English summer, |
| 0:35.3 | which obviously means that everybody is whinging about how hot it is, how sticky we are, and the fact we want it to go back to winter as quickly as possible. |
| 0:42.9 | So, anyway, from our sweaty, sweaty rooms of recording, we have got three excellent papers for you, haven't we, this month? |
| 0:51.2 | We have indeed. We've got a bit on endoscopy. We've got something on hypoxia and we've got straight leg raises to exclude pelvic fractures. |
| 0:59.7 | So three different topics, but three good ones. |
| 1:02.5 | They are excellent actually and there is some practice changing stuff in here. |

| 1:28.1 | getting ready to prepare for a critical appraisal exam, or maybe you're sitting a master's |
| 1:32.8 | and you want to understand a little bit more about critical appraisal, then make sure you're |
