September 2019; papers of the month

We start off this month with a much talked about paper in the pre-hospital services, what benefit does Pre Hospital Critical Care bring to cardiac arrest victims? We are lucky enough to have the inside thoughts of the lead author, this a really interesting piece of work and will no doubt lead to further discussions, for more information from the author take a look at his thesis here. Next up we take a look at the utility of troponins in patients that have suffered cardiac arrest, can we use them to evaluate how likely it was that an MI precipitated the arrest? Last up we have a look at a novel approach of ruling out stroke as the cause of acute dizziness. We'd love to hear your thoughts and comments. Enjoy! Simon & Rob
