Welcome back to Papers of the Month! Three more papers to both inform and challenge our practice across the spectrum of emergency care.
First up we look at a systematic review and meta-analysis on noradrenaline vs adrenaline for our medical post-ROSC patients; what evidence exists out there and should we all be delivering noradrenaline as our first line treatment for those with shock?
Next up a paper to really challenge the treatment algorithm for status epilepticus in paediatrics, with an RCT of midazolam and ketamine versus midazolam alone. There are some huge differences here in the form of termination rates and some great discussion to be had around the specifics of the paper and how that might translate into future practice.
Finally we look at a paper assessing the impact of i.m. versus i.v. metoclopramide for migraines and acute severe headaches. The paper looks at the impact of length of stay within the Emergency Department and also the efficacy of the treatment.
Once again we’d love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via X @TheResusRoom!
