Acute palliative care, hands-free epistaxis relief, and modern laryngoscopy: May 2025 Primary Survey

A new survey has found that less than one third of end-of-life patients in Irish emergency departments have their own room. This is only one of the shortcomings found in end-of-life care, explored in two papers to start this episode. Following on from that is a comparison of video and direct laryngosocopy for intubation outcomes. There's also a "Best Evidence" review of the use of nasal clips for stopping nosebleeds, an approach which appears likely to offer advantages over the hands or inventive tongue-depressor contraptions. The finish up this month's episode, there's a return to a topic previously visited one year ago - the RCEM guidelines on cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome . A study from Wales follows up on the adherence to this guidance.
