In cardiac arrest, adrenaline reliably improves ROSC - but has not consistently translated into better long-term neurological survival.
Our comment asks whether the problem is not adrenaline itself, but how and where we deliver it..

1/ New from @EAAARAID in @SJTREM: observational review of Penthrox for prehospital fracture/dislocation manipulation & reduction in HEMS practice.
In selected limb trauma, methoxyflurane supported successful M&R without IV procedural sedation in more than half of patients.

Presented at #ISICEM:
Among patients with traumatic hemorrhage, prehospital whole-blood transfusion was not superior to standard transfusion with red-cell and plasma components in reducing the risk of death or massive transfusion. Full phase 3 SWiFT trial results: nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

ALT Table 2. Primary Outcome.
Whole blood vs component therapy for trauma haemorrhage in the prehospital setting - RCT results published today. Funded by @DMS_MilMed @NHSBT and 10x UK HEMS organisations.
Whole blood in trauma has generated enormous interest. Today, @SWiFT_trial in @NEJM provides the clearest randomised evidence so far on whether prehospital whole blood improves outcomes in life-threatening traumatic haemorrhage: tinyurl.com/SWiFTNEJM
