As the UK enjoys its unpredictable summer, with everything from sunshine to hailstorms, we bring you a mix of updates and discussions on emergency medicine, blog content, upcoming conferences, and insightful research reviews. So, whether you're basking in the sun or sheltering from the rain, sit back and enjoy our latest insights into the world of emergency medicine. In this round-up of Month Year, we talk about a wide range of issues relating to emergency medicine, including nebulised ketamine for analgesia in the ED, risky intubations, presentation skills, more about the DOSE VF trial and analysis of the much-hyped PREOXI trial about preoxygenation before tracheal intubation. We're excited to announce our participation in two upcoming conferences. The Tactical Trauma Conference in Sweden this October promises to delve into pre-hospital emergency medicine, offering sessions from renowned speakers. It's a fantastic opportunity to learn and network, with flights to Sweden being relatively affordable. The event takes place just north of Stockholm, providing a chance to explore the beautiful city. In March next year, we look forward to the Incrementum Conference in Murcia, Spain. This is a significant event as emergency medicine has recently been recognized as a specialty in Spain. The conference will feature an impressive lineup of speakers from the FOMED world, including Scott Weingart, Ken Milne, Hany Malamatt, and Slim Resie , among others. Our very own Simon Carly will also be presenting. We'll be there to conduct interviews and gather exclusive content for our listeners. Thank you for joining us, please do like and subscribe wherever you get our podcasts.

What's the best way to pre-oxygenate our patients prior to intubation? The evidence for this question has been mixed for some time. Dr Jarvis discusses the PREOXI Trial that directly compares preoxygenation with non-invasive ventilation compared to face mask, to see which provides the best protection against peri-intubation hypoxia. This is an important trial that sheds light on a key component of our bundle of care to make intubation safer.Citations:Gibbs KW, Semler MW, Driver BE, Seitz KP, Stempek SB, Taylor C, Resnick-Ault D, White HD, Gandotra S, Doerschug KC, et al.: Noninvasive Ventilation for Preoxygenation during Emergency Intubation.

Clinical Anaesthesia Podcasts: Conversations with Keith and Courtney
In this week's episode, Keith and Courtney discuss what Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) is, why we should understand this component of lung volume, and its role in patient ventilation and oxygenation. Have you considered that there is usually about one breath to every 4 or so heartbeats? This is exactly why understanding the FRC is so important. So take a deep breath, sit back and enjoy!
In this episode we'll discuss tips and tricks for dominating your clinical interview. We'll cover Trauma, ABG's, Neuro Emergencies, Labs, RSI, Preoxygenation, DKA, and Pressors.

Dr. Calvin Brown III introduces the latest published airway research and discusses its impact on clinical practice.
Author: David Rosenberg, M.D. Educational Pearls Preoxygenation is done before rapid sequence intubation, and should be done even if SaO2 is at 100%. Preoxygenation is done to fill the lungs with oxygen rather than ambient air, which is only 20% O2. While the patient is paralyzed, the O2-filled lungs will continue to oxygenate venous blood, buying you more time for intubation. BiPAP is an effective tool for pre-oxygenation.

The importance of preoxygenation before RSI.
It's Janu-Airway: Here's a little update on preox (you know the topic I think about 20 hours a day)
Hot on the heels of Dr. Weingart's latest publication in the Annal of EM on Preoxygenation & Delayed Sequence Intubation, we have Dr. Weingart, perhaps the world's most influential critical care educator, and Dr. Walter Himmel, 'The Walking Encyclopedia of EM' discussing how the community ED doc can use preoxygenation, apneic oxygenation and delayed sequence intubation to help improve airway management knowledge and skills. Whether you work in a rural setting or a big urban community hospital, Dr. Himmel and Dr. Weingart explain how these concepts and skills are easily adaptable to your work environment. We introduce the Triple 15 Rule for preoxygenation as a memory aid that will help you the next time you're faced with a critically ill patient who's oxygen saturation isn't good enough on a non-rebreather. The post Episode 54: Preoxygenation and Delayed Sequence Intubation appeared first on Emergency Medicine Cases.

A week ago, I posted an airway review paper by Scott Weingart and Richard Levitan that I think is a must read. Today I decided to do a podcast reviewing the paper in order to really get it out there and talk about the major points. The best part of the paper is the description of the NO DESAT technique which virtually eliminates hypoxia during RSI and will make your next intubation a lot easier. While this podcast is a lot more advanced than the usual "basic" topics that I usually talk about, its important to know about these techniques. My 0.02- they will become the new standard of care in the near future but you can hear about them now.
