Clinical decision rules: a meeting with Professor Ian Stiell

Dan Horner, a research fellow from Manchester, talks to the person behind the Ottawa ankle, knee and Canadian c-spine rules. Ian Stiell is a professor of Emergency Medicine, clinical epidemiologist and chair of Emergency Research at the University of Ottawa.

They discuss implementation of decision rules in emergency medicine, current projects in Ottawa, the benefits of aggressive emergency department management of atrial fibrillation, and the unpublished findings from the recent Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium investigators about compression depth in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
