Last time in Roadside to Resus we discussed cardiac arrest with a view to obtaining a return in spontaneous circulation, ROSC.

However gaining a ROSC is just one step along the long road to discharging a patient with a good neurological function back into the community. In fact ROSC is really where all of the hard work really starts!

In this podcast we talk more about the evidence base and algorithms that exist to guide and support practice once a ROSC is achieved. We'd strongly encourage you to go and have a look at the references and resources yourself listed below and would love to hear your feedback in the comments section or via twitter.

Enjoy!

This podcast covers some highlights from the talks at the BASICS and The Faculty of Pre-Hospital Care 2017 Conference.

We were lucky enough to be invited by Caroline Leech to cover the day and managed to grab a couple of minutes with a handful of the superb speakers;

Dr. Tom Evens; Elite sports for high performance clinicians

Dr. Les Gordon; Pre-hospital management of hypothermia

Dr. Helen Milne; Retrieval and transfer medicine

Surgeon Commander Kate Prior; The battlefield

Dr Chris Press; Prehospital management of diving emergencies

Miss Aimee Yarrington; Obstetric Emergencies

Professor Mark Wilson; Pre-hospital Care, where are we going?

 

Thanks to all involved for making the podcast and for a great day at the conference, and to PHEMCAST for the collaboration!

Welcome back to October's papers podcast!

This month we have a look at a paper that shines further light on the use of ultrasound in predicting fluid responsiveness in the spontaneously ventilating patient. We look at a paper that sets to challenge the concerns over hyperoxia in presumed myocardial infarction. And lastly we look at how stress impacts in a cardiac arrest situation on the team leader's performance.

Make sure you have a look at the papers yourself and we would love to hear any feedback and alternative thoughts on the ones we cover! Lastly thanks for your support with the podcast

Enjoy!
