In this episode we look at bag size in Resus, GTN dose for SCAPE (O), button battery honey fixes and ask the question: is pregnancy a disease? There is a ton of other topics to make you tink about what we do in the ED..

Welcome back tot he podcast journal club with Justin and Casey.

This month we chat about a lot of life threatening stuff and some really not dangerous things. There is a heap on acute Mental Health evidence too.

A busy journal club in which Justin and I discuss 13 papers that might help you on your next shift in the Emergency department.

On this episode I discuss the modern scientific and practical approach to massive haemorrhage in trauma with Dr Justin Morgenstern

Are Clinical Decision Rules (Tools) helping us make better calls in the ED? Are they making us better? Do they lead to better outcomes for our patients? Dr Justin Morgenstern and I go over the evidence and the future of ED decision making.

A special episode of the podcast in which Justin travels to Perth to join a bunch of fellow EBM nerds to discuss a bunch of old and new papers.

This month's journal club features many trails - each with their own unique questions and qualities.  We look at herbs for sepsis, steroids in pneumonia, metformin for long-Covid and a heap of other ideas in the world of ED science in 2023.

This month on the Journal Club we tackle a lot of PAeds - croup, HFNC, sepsis and buckle injury.  There is some old stuff about CT Head rules and some fascinating oddball papers.

This month we try to answer some of the big questions in ED practice... we do not necessarily succeed...

• How much electricity should we use in refractory VF?
• Should we suck clots out of legs?
• Should you put Tegaderm on eyeballs?
• Is the HEART score valid? Are any clinical decision tools really what we think?
• What happens if you discharge patients with low troponin rise?
• Should you evert the edges of the wounds?
• Can we send kids home with abnormal vital signs?
• Does kissing minor toddler boo-boos help?
• Do men with smaller penises drive fast cars?

This month we discuss "breaking good news"; less is more in temperature management, IV fluids, gloves... basically everything!
