In this episode of the St Emlyn's Podcast, Iain and Simon discuss the latest updates in emergency medicine during the hot UK summer. They discuss the latest research and content from the St Emlyns blog, touching on topics like serotonin syndrome, the impact of the new urgent and emergency care plan in the UK, and the use of salbutamol as an analgesic for renal colic.
They also highlight the growing issue of nitazenes, a new class of synthetic opioids, and their implications for emergency medicine. Lastly, they emphasise the importance of staying updated on toxicology to effectively manage high-acuity, low-occurrence events such as drug-induced hyperthermia.
