June 2016; papers of the month
For June we have a look at papers covering CT head imaging in delayed trauma presentations, risk stratifying TIAs, early administration of fluids in severe sepsis and most importantly the utility of a biro in a surgical airway.......
Make sure you go and have a look at the papers yourself to see what the evidence means to you.
