The Resus Room

We're back with more great papers for you this month, hot off the press!

There's been a lot of talk over the last few years about apnoeic oxygenation and whether it really holds any benefit to patients undergoing RSI, we have a look at a systematic review that may help answer that question.

Next up we have a look at the choice of sedation agent used in the Emergency Department and how this correlates with patient satisfaction.

Finally, following on from our recent podcast on Double Sequential Defibrillation, we have a look at a paper published looking at the results of DSD from the London prehospital service. Will this reveal a patient benefit?

Let us know any thoughts and feedback you have on the podcast and thanks for your support with the podcast.

Enjoy!
