Pupillary Reflex; Roadside to Resus (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We assess the pupils in almost every significantly unwell or injured patient - but how much are they really telling us? It is easy to document 'pupils equal and reactive' and move on, yet a changing pupil may be one of the earliest outward signs of a developing intracranial catastrophe. Equally, anisocoria in a completely well patient may be longstanding and entirely benign. In this Roadside to Resus episode, we work through the anatomy and physiology of the pupillary light reflex before applyin

Read excerpt
Welcome back to September 2026's Papers of the Month, and this month we've got three papers that are really focused on the practical end of emergency and prehospital care. First up, we're looking at what happens after we've performed a prehospital RSI. We put a huge amount of emphasis on getting the induction right, but what about maintaining adequate anaesthesia afterwards? This paper looks at intermittent bolus sedation following prehospital emergency anaesthesia, the variation in dosing betwe

Read excerpt
This month we've got another really varied mix of papers that all have the potential to influence everyday emergency and prehospital practice. We start by asking a question that's becoming increasingly relevant as prehospital critical care teams develop ever more advanced capabilities: are all those extra interventions costing us precious scene time, and if so, how much? We then move into post-cardiac arrest care with one of the biggest oxygen trials we've seen to date, looking at whether aiming
Laryngectomy and Tracheostomy Emergencies; Roadside to Resus (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tracheostomy and laryngectomy emergencies are classic high-acuity, low-frequency situations. They do not happen every day, but when they do, airway problems can develop quickly, and the wrong intervention can make things significantly worse. In this episode, we work through the practical approach to these patients, starting with the most important distinction: a patient with a tracheostomy may still have a patent upper airway, whereas someone who has undergone a total laryngectomy is an obligate
