December 2024; papers of the month

A really strong line up of papers to bring this year's evidence round up to a close! First up we take a look at a paper evaluating the utility of pulse oximetry (along with several other diagnostic tests) in identifying vascular injury following trauma, a really interesting look at an approach we didn't know much about. Next up we run through PARAMEDIC-3, a huge RCT looking at the best vascular access strategy for patients in cardiac arrest, will the result of this paper change our approach? And finally we look at a paper focussing on intubation success rate in US EMS services according to intubation rate. Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via X @TheResusRoom! Simon & Rob
