  • Traumatic intra-abdominal hemorrhage control:  Has current technology tipped the balance toward a role for prehospital intervention?  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25539217.  Do we have the ability to control intra-abdominal hemorrhage in the prehospital environment?  Does it matter with the new use of TXA?
  • Apneic Oxygenation Was Associated With Decreased Desaturation Rates During Rapid Sequence Intubation by an Australian Helicopter Emergency Medicine Service.  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25536868.  More evidence that this should be done on every patient needing intubation.
  • EMS Patients and Walk-In Patients Presenting With Severe Sepsis:  Differences in Management and Outcome.  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25502152.  We reviewed an article earlier this year showing improved outcomes in septic patients when brought by ambulance.  Does this study show the same thing?  Come to journal club and find out!
  • AWARE - AWAreness during REsuscitation - A prospective study.  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25301715.  As we improve our high-quality CPR, we are hearing more anecdotal reports of patients having consciousness during compressions.  Is this real life?!
