Welcome back to the podcast! We've got three papers this month covering the breadth of Emergency Care presentations and locations; from prehospital arrests, ketamine for analgesia in trauma and those complex elderly patients presenting with abdominal pain. First up we look at the use of prehospital thrombolysis for out of hospital cardiac arrest, something some critical care services are using for suspected PEs and MIs. But what are the outcomes for these patients and how accurate are the clinical suspicions that lead to the thrombolysis? Next up we look at an excellent prehospital RCT, PACKMaN, on the use of ketamine vs morphine for patients with pain following trauma. Is ketamine safe? Is it superior? And what is the side effect profile of each of these approaches? We're also lucky enough to have the lead author, Mike Smyth, come on to give his thoughts on the paper and what it might mean for clinical practice Finally we have a think about abdominal pain in the elderly population. Without a cause for the pain being found this can feel like a very high risk group of patients to discharge. Our final paper helps quantify that risk further, inform our decision making and identify factors that are associate with an increased morbidity and mortality. Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via X @TheResusRoom! Simon & Rob

Measles: It's Back, It's Contagious, and You Probably Haven't Seen It Before In this episode, Kevin and Dr. Lisa Wolf dig into the return of a disease we thought had been eradicated in 2000. In case you missed it—we're in the middle of a national measles outbreak, and chances are high you've never actually seen a real case. Measles is back, and we need to be on high alert, as it remains one of the most contagious diseases in the world. What happens when a patient with a suspicious rash sits in your waiting room for hours? How long does measles hang in the air? (Spoiler: it's longer than you think.) From triage missteps to public health policies, this episode walks through how to identify, isolate, and respond to highly contagious diseases—especially when you've never seen them in real life. We also bust the autism myth (again), talk about vaccine hesitancy, and explore what your ED should be doing to prepare right now. Measles Resources Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In this episode, Kevin and Dr. Wolf delve into a critical but often underestimated condition: alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS). They challenge the assumptions and biases emergency nurses may bring to patient care, particularly in identifying withdrawal symptoms in individuals who don't fit the "typical" profile.

Today, we're speaking to Professor Anne Slowther, Emeritus Professor of Clinical Ethics based at the University of Warwick.Title of paper: Experiences of using the Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment (ReSPECT) in English general practice: a qualitative study among key primary health and social care professionals, patients, and their relativesAvailable at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2024.0248The Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment (ReSPECT) is a specific model of emergency care treatment planning now used in primary care and hospitals, and in many areas of the UK. It has been evaluated in hospital settings, but little is known about how it is understood and operationalised in general practice. Our research found a consensus that ReSPECT could facilitate a person-centred approach to future treatment decision making, but there are specific challenges in implementing ReSPECT in a community setting. A revised approach needs to consider uncertainty of illness trajectories over time and to emphasise patient values to facilitate decision making in an emergency.

When "Do Everything" Isn't the Answer. In this episode we discuss one of the most complex and emotionally charged aspects of emergency care: navigating code status and advance directives. We unpack the nuances of "Do Not Resuscitate" (DNR) orders, the dynamics of family presence during resuscitations, and the moral dilemmas that arise when patient wishes conflict with family demands. If you've ever found yourself mid-code wondering, “Are we doing the right thing here?”—this is the conversation you won't want to miss.

Emergency rooms across Canada are in a dire state. Wait times in many ERs remain stubbornly high. And in some provinces, the full understanding of how bad the situation has become isn't even clear – with inconsistent or little data to rely on.

Globe investigative reporter Tu Thanh Ha joins The Decibel to break down the details he and data editor Yang Sun dug up and what story the numbers tell about the reality of emergency care. Questions? Comments? Ideas? Email us at thedecibel@globeandmail.com

PE's (or Pulmonary Emboli) are a key part of Emergency Care, something that many of us will consider as a differential diagnosis multiple times of a daily basis, in a similar way to acute coronary syndrome, so we need to be absolute experts on the topic! A PE normally occurs when a Deep Vein Thrombosis shoots off to the pulmonary arterial tree, occurring in 60-120 per 100,000 of the population per year The inhospital mortality is 14% and the 90 day mortality is around 20%. But this is proportional to its size, and risk stratifying PE's once we've got the diagnosis is really important. PE is a real diagnostic challenge and less than 1 in 10 who are investigated for a PE end up with the diagnosis, so knowing the risk factors, associated features and thresholds for work up are really important. There are some key concepts in risk stratification and particularly in test thresholds that we'll cover in this episode that are applicable to all of our practice…..we're excited! Getting these right helps us to avoid missing the diagnosis and equally importantly ensure we aren't ‘over testing' & ‘over diagnosing' because investigation and treatment for a PE isn't without it's own risks. In the episode we'll talk in depth about factors associated with presentation, risk factors, investigations and finally onto treatments, covering the whole spectrum from low risk PE's up to those with massive PE's and cardiac arrest. The evidence base behind the work up and treatments is truly fascinating and we hope you find this episode as eye-opening as we did to prepare for! Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via X @TheResusRoom! Simon, Rob & James
