Summary

So we're back with September's papers of the month a little later than usual but we wanted to give you a little time to digest AIRWAYS-2... before we give you some more prehospital research on advanced airway management in cardiac arrest!

The American version of AIRWAYS-2, PART, has just been released in JAMA, looking at the laryngeal tube versus endotracheal intubation as a primary strategy for advanced airway management. The paper is fascinating accompaniment to AIRWAYS-2.

Next we have a look at a paper assessing Emergency Medicine clinicians' ability to predict hospital admission at the time of triage, should we be making early calls on the destination of our patients?

Finally we have a look at the potential role of esmolol in cases of refractory VF and a paper that reports twice the survival rates in those that receive it!

As always we strongly suggest you have a look at the papers yourself and come to your own conclusions. Make sure you check out the hyperlinked blogs below that we mention in the podcast that contain some fantastic critiques. We'd also love to hear any comments either at the foot of this page or on twitter to @TheResusRoom.

Enjoy!

0:12.8	So hi, and welcome back to the Recess Room podcast.
0:16.4	I'm Simon Lang.
0:17.6	And I'm Rob Fenwick.
0:18.9	And this is the mildly delayed September's Papers of the Month.
0:24.4	It is indeed.
0:25.2	We've had a little bit of a two-week delay on this one because I don't know if anyone saw that we dropped the Airways 2 bomb on you just before the end of August.
0:34.3	And what a response.
0:35.3	Thank you for all the feedback that we've had.
0:37.2	And wow, what an episode. Thank you for all the feedback that we've had and wow,
0:37.9	what an episode, really good. Yeah, unbelievably lucky to get Professor Benjaron to speak to us
0:42.7	about that paper so much that we've all learned, I think, as a result from it. So big thanks for that.
0:48.6	So this month, we're back with three fantastic papers. And firstly, and of particular relevance, we're going
0:56.5	to be looking at a paper published in the US this time at a superglotic approach as opposed
1:02.4	to endotracheal intubation in cardiac arrest patients as the first attempt. That's the part
1:09.4	paper. Then we're going to be looking at whether or not
1:12.2	emergency physicians can predict admission from triage information. And finally, we're going to be
1:17.4	having a look at the role of Esmelol for a refractory VF in patients, obviously in cardiac arrest.
1:25.2	Before we do that, a huge thanks to our sponsors, Abrak, for supporting the podcast.
1:29.9	There are a high-quality, advanced clinical practitioner group based around the UK.
1:35.5	Go to our website, have a look at the hyperlink if you're interested in either employing
