The Resus Room

March 2026; papers of the month


Listen Later

March's Papers of the Month is here and we've got three absolute crackers to get stuck into.

First up, we head prehospital to explore pseudo-pulseless electrical activity. This review challenges us to rethink how we approach organised electrical activity without a pulse. We discuss the role of POCUS, the concept of treating profound shock rather than "arrest," and what this means for decision-making and management.

Next, we move to cardiac arrest physiology with a systematic review examining intra-arrest diastolic blood pressure and coronary perfusion pressure. We take a look at the proposed thresholds, the heterogeneity in the evidence, and whether haemodynamic-guided resuscitation is ready for prime time.

Finally, we dive into airway nuance with a brand new taxonomy of performance errors in hyperangulated video laryngoscopy. We've covered a very similar paper before on standard geometry VL which was incredibly useful and this looks to do just the same for the alternative technique required with a hyperangulated device. We explore the microskills, the common errors, and what this means for how we train, feedback and improve our emergency intubations.

Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via X @TheResusRoom!
