Summary

Welcome to November’s papers of the month podcast!

This month we kick things off looking at TXA in trauma and consider in complex scenes and resource limited environments if TXA could be administered effectively in an IM rather than IV route? We also get an authors inside view from Professor Ian Roberts.

Next up; does the anatomical location of a head injury affect the risk of an intracerebral bleed and could this affect those patients that can go without a scan?

And finally we have a look at the importance of a chest X-ray in COVID-19 and consider how accurate the X-ray is at both picking up and ruling out the infection.

Enjoy!

Now, before we start, a big thanks to our sponsors, S.J. Trem, the Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, who are a free online journal who cover all the sorts of topics that we cover here on the podcast.

1:31.8	So, paper number one. Now, we've talked about trinexamic acid a few times here on the podcast, and the reason for that is that it's actually a
