The St.Emlyn’s Podcast

After a brief hiatus we're back with more from the St Emlyn's Blog. We discuss a wide range of topics from crowding in Emergency Departments and the RePHILL trial to breastfeeding, genetic testing and diagnosing DVTs, as well as our highlights from the recent RCEM CPD Conference in Bournemouth. There really is something for everyone! 

We made it! A double century of podcasts. In this month's update Iain and Simon talk through myth busting in resuscitation, Rick Body's airway expertise (with a side mention for high sensitivity troponin), a paper about resuscitative thoracotomy, ACPs in EM and how we all could set future research priorties. Thank you again for listening to the St Emlyn's podcast. We really do hope that you enjoy it and have found our witterings over the last 200 episodes useful.  Hopefully we'll see some of you at the RCEM CPD Conference in Bournemouth next week.  Please do rate us on iTunes, like, subscribe, tweet and tell you friends about the podcast. 

Simon and Natalie discuss some of the complexities of feedback when it involved different specialities and patients. We also review our general rules of feedback.   See https://www.stemlynsblog.org/?s=feedback for more.

The first episode of our 9th Season with discussion about Calcium in cardiac arrest, a deep dive into the physiology of exsanguinating haemorrhage, a comparison of ketamine and etomidate for induction of anaesthesia and the ECG Thrust.  Please do like, subscribe and tell your friends about the St Emlyn's podcast. 

The Season Finale that you've all be waiting for. Our last episode of season 8 includes discussion about racial bias in sats monitoring, CT scans to investigate subarachnoid haemorrhage and the  importance of (consensual) touch.  Thanks again for listening. Please like and subscribe and all that. We look forward to seeing you next season (in about a month...) Iain and Simon

Iain is flying solo this month, with discussion about narrative story tellling, airway management in the ED and using pigtail catheters in management of haemothorax.  We hope all you all have a very happy Christmas and chance over the festive period to relax.

Our round up of all the blog had to offer in October 2021. There's discussion about evidence based medine in the REST and CTCA for intermediate chest pain trials, more about cauda equina and highlights from the Paediatric Colloquium in Australia, as well as the good humoured chat. Please see the website for more information and don't forget to subscribe and rate the podcast (if you think it's any good).  

The round up of the St Emlyn's blog posts in August 2021, featuring discussion about therapeutic anticoagulation in hospitalised COVID-19 patients, non invasive ventilation vs usual care for critically hypoxic COVID-19 patients and the recent EMTA (Emergency Medicine Trainees Association) survey. Oh, and Simon's mid-life crisis. 

Iain and Simon discuss the best from the blog in June and July. There's COVID chat (of course). thunderstorm asthma, a glance into the future and much, much more. 

It's been a busy month on the blog with plenty for Iain and Simon to talk about. The Manchester Arena bombing, new guidelines for Anaphylaxis management, Adult Congenital Heart Disease, Calcium in Major Haemorrhage and Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection all get a mention alongside the usual witterings of two middle aged emergency physicians.
