Heart failure, sedation, intubation, anaphylaxis & cardiac arrest; EBM updates in Resuscitation

So this is a talk I gave at the <a style="font-style: inherit;" href= "http://EBM%20UPDATES%20IN%20RESUS">EMCEF 22 conference. This covers a few of the papers we've discussed in the last 6 months on the podcast but a bit of spaced repetition is never a bad thing! We'll be running through topics on heart failure, sedation, intubation, anaphylaxis and duration of cardiac arrest. The papers are well worth a look and whilst not all high quality evidence they do bring to the front some really interesting questions about are practice and prompt us to challenge our habits. Enjoy!
