Welcome back to October's Papers Podcast, this month we move airway from advanced airway management and bring you a broad array of papers.

First up we have a look at the relative success of a variety of pharmacological strategies for managing the acutely agitated patient in ED. Next up we have look at the well know CURB-65 score and it's ability to predict the need for critical care interventions. Lastly, we may all feel at times that performing a CT head on those well patients solely because they take anticoagulants may be a little on the excessive side, we review a paper that looks at the yield of positive scans in this cohort.

As ever don't just take our word for it, go and have a look at the papers yourself, we would love to hear any comments or feedback you have.

Enjoy!

Simon & Rob
