Summary
Welcome back to the papers of the month podcast!
First up we take a look at a paper assessing the importance of symptoms and sings in suspected Cauda Equina cases and consider which factors we should be giving weight to, including whether a PR is appropriate.
Next up we take a look at a paper looking at electrical injuries presenting to the Emergency Department, the risk of significant injury and the appropriate investigations to perform on both high and low energy voltage injuries.
Lastly we take a look a paper looking at the use of vasopressin and steroids in in-hospital cardiac arrest and see what effect in has in the latest RCT.
Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via twitter @TheResusRoom.
Enjoy!
Simon & Rob

| 0:03.5 | Five, four, three, two, one, fire. |
| 0:12.1 | So hi, and welcome back to the recess room podcast. |
| 0:15.5 | I'm Simon Lang, and I'm Rob Fenwick. |
| 0:18.0 | And this is November 2021's Papers of the Month. It is Simon Lang and the weather |
| 0:24.6 | is definitely more autumnal and I hope this podcast goes better than my pumpkin carving which if you |
| 0:30.3 | saw the look on my children's faces you will realize how disappointing that was but thankfully |

| 0:43.5 | for Corder Aquina in a traumatic back pain. We've got a paper on electrical injuries and we have |
| 0:48.3 | also got one about cardiac arrest management. Of course, one of our favourite topics. Yeah, we have indeed. So some really varied topics this month. And yes, it is rather chilly, |
| 0:59.2 | but I'm here with my balaclava and scarf on. So hopefully I'll make it through the episode |
| 1:03.8 | without any chattering of teeth. Before we get into the episode, a big thanks to SJTrem, |
| 1:09.6 | the Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation, |

| 1:18.2 | They're a journal that publish all of their articles online on topics that we cover here on the podcast, |
| 1:22.9 | so make sure you go over and check out their resource which we hyperlinked to on our website. |
| 1:29.1 | So without further ado, grab your cup of cocoa, unless of course you're in the car. |
| 1:33.1 | And let's crack into the first paper. |
| 1:37.6 | Right, so the first paper we're going to be covering, as Rob has alluded to, is looking at cardiac arrest. |
| 1:43.7 | Now, when we've looked at drugs involved in cardiac arrest management, |
