Hey #TeamED legends here it is episode 6 of our podcast and in response to your twitter votes we have chosen the assessment of the acutely unwell adult in ED and a look at ABCDE and NEWS 2 and Front door investigations. As usual we had a brief chat about the current challenges and a small debate about the front door investigations that we should or should not be doing for our patients. We signposted a few links in the podcast and here they are; Nigel from Strata5- the website genius that is https://www.strata5.co.uk We are now being sponsored by Adprac- A new take on the traditional agency https://www.adprac.com We talked a lot of about end of the bed-O-grams and liz mentioned this blog and I hadn't read it until now but I can see why she mentioned it- its awesome thanks St Emlyns great read- http://www.stemlynsblog.org/when-is-a-door-not-a-door/ Royal College of Physicians NEWS 2- https://www.rcplondon.ac.uk/projects/outputs/national-early-warning-score-news-2 The resus council ABCDE approach principles- https://www.resus.org.uk/resuscitation-guidelines/abcde-approach/ The British Thoracic Society guidelines for emergency oxygen https://www.brit-thoracic.org.uk/quality-improvement/guidelines And as promised some hints of where to go for the rest of this section; Check out COPD management here https://www.rcemlearning.co.uk/references/community-acquired-pneumonia/ And once you have done this go find out some stuff on type 1 and type 2 respiratory failure and diagnosis of PE.
