Ep 283 - Best Bits of 2025 — Bonus: Clinical Pearls

This bonus episode is a quick-fire collection of clinical pearls drawn from across the St Emlyn’s podcast in 2025. Short, practical, and deliberately focused, these are the moments that make you stop and think: “That’s useful — I want that in my head.” There’s minimal commentary and no deep dives. Each clip stands on its own as a clear takeaway, designed to be listened to in one go or dipped back into when needed. In this episode Practical triage language that lowers thresholds and prompts earlier action Time-critical decision-making in pre-hospital thoracotomy Resuscitation physiology and why diastolic pressure matters Intraosseous access and the reality of long-term complications Analgesia strategies for rib fractures, including posterior injuries Hydrofluoric acid burns and why improvised treatment is a trap Recognising and acting on decompression illness Cognitive HALOs and preparing for rare, high-load decision moments Building excellence in teams, not just avoiding failure Compassionate resuscitation and the value of the pause This episode is designed to be saved, revisited, and shared — the kind of learning that pays off later.
