December 2018; papers of the month - a podcast by Simon Laing, Rob Fenwick & James Yates
from 2018-12-01T00:01
Well the year maybe coming to a close but the high quality papers keep on coming out!
We've got 3 great articles to cover in this episode which have some key points to reflect on in our practice. First up we take a look at the application of Canadian c-spine rules by ED triage nurses and the potential impact this approach could hold.
Next up we have a look at the addition of magnesium to current ED rate control of uncompromised patients presenting with rapid AF.
Lastly we look at a paper on the conservative management of traumatic pneumothoraces, including those undergoing positive pressure ventilation, which reviews the complication rate of this approach.
As always make sure you take a look at the papers yourselves and form your own opinions, we would love to hear you comments and feedback.
Enjoy!
Simon & Rob
