Acute Aortic Syndromes; Roadside to Resu...

Simon Laing, Rob Fenwick & James Yates
About this episode

We have been wanting to do an episode on aortic dissections for quite a while now but you will see that what we've actually gone and done is created an episode on acute aortic syndromes…so we've done a great job of staying on point straight from the off!

In fairness, we've done this because it turns out that there are actually a few different potentially life threatening acute aortic conditions which we need to know about and getting them all into one episode seemed achievable, so let's see how we get on with that!

Hopefully in this podcast we will try and improve your knowledge of these conditions and we'll also discuss a couple of cases to bring out some key points.

Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via twitter @TheResusRoom.

Enjoy!

Simon, Rob & James
