A new survey has found that less than one third of end-of-life patients in Irish emergency departments have their own room. This is only one of the shortcomings found in end-of-life care, explored in two papers to start this episode. Following on from that is a comparison of video and direct laryngosocopy for intubation outcomes. There's also a "Best Evidence" review of the use of nasal clips for stopping nosebleeds, an approach which appears likely to offer advantages over the hands or inventive tongue-depressor contraptions. The finish up this month's episode, there's a return to a topic previously visited one year ago - the RCEM guidelines on cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. A study from Wales follows up on the adherence to this guidance. Read the highlights: May 2025 Primary Survey Dying matters in the emergency department Emergency clinician perceptions of end-of-life care in Irish emergency departments: a cross-sectional survey Video laryngoscopy may improve the intubation outcomes in critically ill patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials Use of nasal clips as first aid for anterior epistaxis Awareness and management of cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome among staff in emergency departments in Wales The EMJ podcast is hosted by: Dr. Richard Body, EMJ Deputy Editor, University of Manchester, UK (@richardbody) Dr. Sarah Edwards, EMJ Semior Associate Editor and Social Media Editor, Royal Derby Hospital, UK (@drsarahedwards) You can subscribe to the EMJ podcast on all podcast platforms to get the latest podcast every month.

Welcome back to April's Papers of the Month! First up this month we have a think about posterior circulatory strokes, which can mimic benign vertigo, and can be really tricky to differentiate between a completely benign issue or a stroke that is really important to pick up. Clearly imaging everyone is one option but completely impractical when you consider the gold standard of MRI. So having a bedside tests to rule in or out the diagnosis of stroke would be a huge help. Our first paper looks at the use of three bedside scoring systems; HINTS, TriAGe+ and ABCD2 scores in ED for patients presenting with possible posterior circulatory strokes. How accurate are they and can we reliably incorporate into our practice? Next up is traumatic cardiac arrest. This has obviously got a very high mortality rate. One of the interventions that might improve mortality (for some mechanisms and patients) is a resuscitative thoracotomy, however this is a really significant intervention and we want to ensure we are targeting it at the patients that may benefit. A great paper has just been published from London Air Ambulance which might just help us to identify those patients who would benefit with more certainty, along with those where futility has already been reached. Finally we take a look at acute kidney injury (AKI) and its association contrasted scans. Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) has historically been a concern, particularly for patients with chronic kidney disease, with contrast causing direct injury and limited blood flow. But recent studies have questioned the actual risk of CIN & there's been a more recent RCEM statement on the topic, but we thought this might be a nice opportunity to refresh and look at a recent paper on the topic. Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via X @TheResusRoom! Simon & Rob
In this episode we cover:Patients recording consultationsRecent changes to the UK death certification processRCEM's Green ED initiative and a case of acute pancreatitis.In our paediatric section we discuss the RCEM safety alert on handlebar injuries and learning from paediatric critical care cases- stabilisation of the sick child, double checking drug doses and burns.Finally we introduce part 1 of our new mini-series on quality improvement methodology "Quality Quest" brought to you by our colleague and QI expert Dr Sarah Noble.Hope you enjoy the show and as ever do let us know your thoughts about the podcast.
In this episode of the St. Emlyn's podcast, hosts Iain Beardsell and Simon Carley share their insights from recent conferences, including Gateshead's RCEM scientific conference, Tactical Trauma 24 in Sweden, and the Premier Conference. They explore 'Goldilocks moments' for executing life-saving procedures in critical care, emphasizing optimal timing for interventions like thoracotomies. The episode also discusses innovative training methods like shadowboxing to enhance decision-making in high-stress medical scenarios. In addition, they review a significant trial on smoking cessation in emergency departments, highlighting its potential role in broader public health initiatives, including sexual health and HIV screening. Discussions also cover various pain management strategies, such as the use of intranasal vs. intravenous Ketorolac for renal colic. The hosts critique the traditional peer review process in medical research and advocate for open peer review to support equitable and accessible scientific publishing. 00:00 Introduction and Catching Up 02:07 The Goldilocks Moment in Critical Care 05:25 Training and Decision-Making in Emergency Procedures 07:23 Smoking Cessation in Emergency Departments 10:07 Challenges in Implementing Preventive Health Strategies 10:38 Successful Public Health Projects in Emergency Medicine 11:19 Exploring Alternative Interventions in Emergency Departments 11:52 Highlights from the Premier Conference 12:54 Intranasal Ketorolac for Pain Management 15:46 The Future of Peer Review in Medical Research 20:09 Concluding Thoughts and Upcoming Content

In this conversation, we will look at the life of an Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP). We will dig into what the training looks like, the autonomy involved, the various specialisms you can take, what Dan has learnt along the way and much more. As more and more alternative career pathways are opening, we explore if this one is an attractive option. We also look at the alignment to the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) curriculum and how this shapes Dan's practice, skills and clinical decision making. ACPs play a vital role in the delivery of emergency care across the UK. They now make up over 10% of the college membership. There are over one thousand ACP members and this number is rapidly increasing. ACPs are represented on all major RCEM Committees. We also examine some of the educational expectations outside of the RCEM curriculum to fulfil the role as an ACP and also some of the various clinical backgrounds that ACPs come from. To find out more about the ACP role you can visit the RCEM website, menu, - training / careers/ Advanced Clinical Practitioner https://rcem.ac.uk/emergency-care-advanced-clinical-practitioners/ This podcast is sponsored by PAX.

Vic speaks with Eve Purdy about their recent paper in Advances in Simulation - Taking simulation out of its “safe container”—exploring the bidirectional impacts of psychological safety and simulation in an emergency department. We talk about the shared experience of many simulation educators that led to the research question – How does psychological safety in the workplace affect that experienced in the ‘sim space' and how does that leak back in turn? Eve describes the methods and findings, and refers to the wealth of literature on psychological safety in simulation that this paper builds upon – research by Roison O'Donovan, Jenny Rudolph's foundational ‘safe container article, Michaela Kolbe's work on the ‘dynamic balancing act' in simulation debriefing and more. The episode includes quotes and audio snippets from simulation colleagues – Ben Symon, Chris Roussin, Jenny Rudolph, Walter Eppich and Michaela Kolbe. For more on psychological safety in simulation and the workplace – these prior simulcast episodes on the ‘safe container' and ‘rapport' might be of interest, together with Eve's recent talk to RCEM on psychological safety in emergency medicine. This is the latest in our Simulcast collaboration with Advances in Simulation – an open access Simulation Journal. Thanks also to the teams at Gold Coast Health Emergency Department and to the Emergency Medicine Research Foundation who provided grant funding for the study
