Summary

We start off this month with a much talked about paper in the pre-hospital services, what benefit does Pre Hospital Critical Care bring to cardiac arrest victims? We are lucky enough to have the inside thoughts of the lead author, this a really interesting piece of work and will no doubt lead to further discussions, for more information from the author take a look at his thesis here.

Next up we take a look at the utility of troponins in patients that have suffered cardiac arrest, can we use them to evaluate how likely it was that an MI precipitated the arrest?

Last up we have a look at a novel approach of ruling out stroke as the cause of acute dizziness.

We'd love to hear your thoughts and comments.

Enjoy!

Simon & Rob

0:00.0	Welcome to the Recess Room Podcast.
0:03.5	Five, four, three, two, one, fire.
0:11.3	So hi, and welcome back to the Recess Room podcast.
0:14.6	I'm Simon Lang, an emergency medicine and pre-hospital critical care consultant.
0:18.6	And I'm Rob Fenwick, an advanced clinical practitioner in emergency medicine, and I'm a nurse
0:22.9	by background.
0:23.9	So, yet again, we've got three great papers for you this month.
0:27.3	We've got a really interesting one on the value of pre-hospital critical care, which
0:32.2	obviously will come to with no bias whatsoever.
0:35.5	We've then got two papers which look at serum testing,
0:39.1	so we've got one which looks at the value of troponin
0:42.3	in our patients following cardiac arrest
0:44.7	and whether or not we can use that to any utility.
0:48.0	And finally, having thought about stroke quite a lot recently,
0:52.0	we're going to have a look at whether or not there's a blood test
0:54.0	that we could be using to rule out the chance that the patient in front of us with
0:58.8	Vertigo has got a posterior stroke. That sounds lovely. It would be rather convenient, wouldn't it?
1:05.0	Wouldn't it just? Before we get into the podcast, a big thanks to S.J. Trem, the Scandinavian
1:10.1	Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency
1:12.6	Medicine, who are our partners in this project. They're a free open access journal that each
1:17.9	month will cover one of their articles, and you can go and have a look at that incompleteness for
1:22.4	free on the website, which we've got a hyperlink to on our site. So without further ado, let's get on
	...
