A quantitative evaluation of aerosol generation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (2023)
Journal Article
Shrimpton, A. J., Brown, V., Vassallo, J., Nolan, J. P., Soar, J., Hamilton, F., …Pickering, A. E. (2024). A quantitative evaluation of aerosol generation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Anaesthesia, 79(2), 156-167. https://doi.org/10.1111/anae.16162

It is unclear if cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an aerosol-generating procedure and whether this poses a risk of airborne disease transmission to healthcare workers and bystanders. Use of airborne transmission precautions during cardiopulmonary res... Read More about A quantitative evaluation of aerosol generation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Identifying patients at imminent risk of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest during the Emergency Medical call: The views of call-takers (2023)
Journal Article
Kirby, K., Voss, S., & Benger, J. (2023). Identifying patients at imminent risk of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest during the Emergency Medical call: The views of call-takers. Resuscitation Plus, 16, Article 100490. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.resplu.2023.100490

There is little research on the triage of patients who are not yet in cardiac arrest when the emergency call is initiated, but who deteriorate and suffer a cardiac arrest during the prehospital phase of care. The aim of this study was to investigate... Read More about Identifying patients at imminent risk of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest during the Emergency Medical call: The views of call-takers.

Early and empirical high-dose cryoprecipitate for hemorrhage after traumatic injury: The CRYOSTAT-2 randomized clinical trial (2023)
Journal Article
Davenport, R., Curry, N., Fox, E. E., Thomas, H., Lucas, J., Evans, A., …Stanworth, S. J. (2023). Early and empirical high-dose cryoprecipitate for hemorrhage after traumatic injury: The CRYOSTAT-2 randomized clinical trial. Journal of the American Medical Association, 330(19), 1882-1891. https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.2023.21019

Importance: Critical bleeding is associated with a high mortality rate in patients with trauma. Hemorrhage is exacerbated by a complex derangement of coagulation, including an acute fibrinogen deficiency. Management is fibrinogen replacement with cry...

The Randomised Evaluation of early topical Lidocaine patches In Elderly patients admitted to hospital with rib Fractures (RELIEF): Feasibility trial protocol (2023)
Journal Article
Lewis, A., Clout, M., Benger, J., Braude, P., Turner, N., Gagg, J., …Carlton, E. (2023). The Randomised Evaluation of early topical Lidocaine patches In Elderly patients admitted to hospital with rib Fractures (RELIEF): Feasibility trial protocol. NIHR Open Research, 3, Article 38. https://doi.org/10.3310/nihropenres.13438.2

BackgroundTopical lidocaine patches, applied over rib fractures, have been suggested as a non-invasive method of local anaesthetic delivery to improve respiratory function, reduce opioid consumption and consequently reduce pulmonary complications. Ol... Read More about The Randomised Evaluation of early topical Lidocaine patches In Elderly patients admitted to hospital with rib Fractures (RELIEF): Feasibility trial protocol.
