Our monthly round up of all from the St Emlyn's blog. We discuss pathways into emergency care research, pad positioning in cardioversion of AF and possible gender differences in the presciption of TXA in trauma.

We also chat about travel in Lithuania, memories of defibrillating with hand held paddles and Simon's recent forst infection with COVID.

We mention a post on Lyme disease which you can read here (especially if you live near the New Forest...)

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.
