So this is a talk I gave at
the EMCEF 22 conference.
This covers a few of the papers we've discussed in the last 6
months on the podcast but a bit of spaced repetition is never a bad
thing!
We'll be running through topics on heart
failure, sedation, intubation, anaphylaxis and duration of cardiac
arrest. The papers are well worth a look and whilst not all high
quality evidence they do bring to the front some really interesting
questions about are practice and prompt us to challenge our habits.
Enjoy!
