Summary

Welcome back to March 2025's papers podcast!

We start off this month with a fascinating paper looking at the experiences of relatives who were witness to unsuccessful resuscitation. We often talk on the podcast about the impact of medical or technical interventions, but this paper offer us an opportunity to consider the huge impact of our non-technical elements of practice and reflect on how we can best support relatives whilst still performing resuscitation to the best of our abilities.

Next up we look at a paper deriving and validating a new adult trauma triage score The sBATT that predicts early mortality and need for intervention.

Lastly we have a think about the use of adrenaline in out of hospital traumatic cardiac arrests; what association does it have on outcomes?

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