Episode 109: Dr. Ken Milne, Small BVMs, and Nitroglycerine


Listen Later

In this episode, Dr. Ken Milne discusses two studies related to emergency medicine. The first study examines the use of small adult ventilation bags in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The study found that small bags were associated with a lower rate of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) compared to standard bags. However, this was an observational study and more research is needed to draw definitive conclusions. The second study explores the use of nitroglycerin in right ventricular myocardial infarctions (MIs). Traditionally, nitroglycerin has been contraindicated in these cases, but the study found no significant difference in adverse events when nitroglycerin was used. Again, more research is needed to confirm these findings. Overall, these studies highlight the importance of evidence-based practice and the need for further research in emergency medicine.
