Rcem Learning

This month for the June 2023 episode of the RCEM Learning Podcast we’ve got two New in EM segments looking at the use of end-tidal CO2 at triage and looking at positioning for lumbar punctures. We then hear from Becky & Chris about a guideline for nitrous oxide toxicity. We then speak with Dani Hall about her practice changing papers in PEM, and then end with New Online. If you'd like to email us, please feel free to do so here.
