Journal update monthly top five

Introduction This month’s update is from the emergency department and critical care unit at Salford Care Organisation, within the Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust. We used a multimodal search strategy, drawing on free openaccess medical education resources and focused literature searches. We identified the five most interesting and relevant papers (decided by consensus, with editorial oversight) and highlight the main findings, key limitations and clinical bottom line for each paper. The papers are ranked as ► Worth a peek: interesting, but not yet ready for prime time ► Head turner: new concepts ► Game changer: this paper could/ should change practice.
