Clinical Decision-Making and Evidence-Based Education

Emergency medicine strips decision-making back to its essentials when departments are full and time is short. This focuses on how clinicians make good decisions under pressure, when conditions are far from ideal. The St Emlyn’s Podcast is a UK based Emergency Medicine podcast for anyone who works in emergency care, where the four pillars of learning are evidence-based medicine, clinical excellence, personal development and the philosophical overview of emergency care.

Recent clinical discussions and highlights include:

• Ten second triage: Designed to work on “worst-day” scenarios, not in textbooks.
• Resuscitative thoracotomy: Why time, not technique, is often the limiting factor.
• Compassionate resuscitation: Exploring “the pause” after a death and the role of self-compassion in clinical practice.
• Targeted resuscitation: The case for earlier invasive monitoring in the sickest patients.

Practical Insights for the Clinical Environment

Being comfortable with being uncomfortable is a vital concept for those entering the emergency department. Nick Kelly, an emergency nurse, walks us through life in the ER outlining procedures, team dynamics, cases that have impacted him throughout his career, and advice for medical students. This includes managing tricky end of life conversations and understanding the ins-and-outs of how teams manage out of hospital and unwitnessed cardiac arrest patients. These resources gather some wisdom to share with fellow students and junior doctors as they transition to becoming clinicians.
