Ep 175 - August 2020 Round Up

Welcome to our audio round up of everything on the blog during August. 

As the world continues to be in the grips of the Coronavirus pandemic there have been more papers looking at all aspects of this disease.

Simon reviewed the latest paper on Hydroxychloroquine and Charlie collated some of the top papers covering aspects from aerosol spread and use of CPAP to the effect on vulnerable groups and the effect on staff psychological health

It's not all COVID though. Sepsis is a condition we all want to be able to treat more effectively. Sadly there doesn't seem to be any encouraging news about the use of Vitamin C, Steroids and Thiamine in this latest RCT.

Many of the St Emlyn's group have special expertise in toxicology and Gareth wrote this incredibly informative post about the use of GBL. If you're not sure what "ChemSex" is then this post from a few years ago by Janos is worth a read.

The anonymously written "Look at what they make you give" post really struck a chord with readers, with an astonishing number of views. There are messages here for us all.

The numbers of Lesson Plans available continue to grow. We've had some great feedback following their use in induction. If tyou've not seen them yet, do have a look and let us know what you think.

Ep 181 - Christmas 2020 Round Up

A special festive edition of our round up podcast featuring six weeks of blog posts and plenty more besides.

From all at St Emlyn's we hope you have a very happy festive season and we cannot wait to talk to you again in 2021.

Take care,

Simon and all the team

Ep 201 - March/April 2022 Round Up

After a brief hiatus we're back with more from the St Emlyn's Blog. We discuss a wide range of topics from crowding in Emergency Departments and the RePHILL trial to breastfeeding, genetic testing and diagnosing DVTs, as well as our highlights from the recent RCEM CPD Conference in Bournemouth. There really is something for everyone! 

Ep 202 - May 2022 Round Up

Our monthly round up of all from the St Emlyn's blog. We discuss pathways into emergency care research, pad positioning in cardioversion of AF and possible gender differences in the presciption of TXA in trauma.

We also chat about travel in Lithuania, memories of defibrillating with hand held paddles and Simon's recent forst infection with COVID.

We mention a post on Lyme disease which you can read here (especially if you live near the New Forest...)

 

Ep 209 - November and December 2022 Round Up

A special double edition covering the blog posts from November and December and more. We discuss evidence based medicine with the DoseVF trial, and more from RECOVERY, discussion about 'what is downtime' and how we organise follow up for patients who don't live in our area and what happened at the amazing London Trauma Conference

We also announced some of the plans for StEmlynsWILD. Look out for booking details and more in the coming weeks.
