  • Good, but could be better

    It’s nice to see the acute care academy having a presence on the Apple podcast app. The episodes are interesting and entertaining, with a variety of guests that discuss their background and what they do in acute care. I wish they would use the podcast as a platform to educate clinicians on the most up-to-date evidence in the field or case studies that walk you through a clinician’s approach and thought process for an evaluation.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pediatric Vital Signs: Development of a New, Valuable Resource
Q: What was the biggest challenge in creating the guide?
The biggest challenge was narrowing a very large, textbook-like first draft into a concise, usable guide that still captured the essential pediatric considerations and could be easily adopted in various clinical settings.
Pediatric Vital Signs: Development of a New, Valuable Resource
Q: How did the Pediatric Vital Signs Guide come together across the three academies?
The team organized a three-way collaboration across Acute Care, Cardiopulmonary, and Pediatrics, modeled after the successful adult guide, and emphasized combined perspectives to cover development, hemodynamics, and critical care considerations.
Powerful Lessons From a First Acute Care Rotation
Q: When are you working on Acute Care, complete the phrase.
When you try to swipe your badge to get into your house and your eyes are tired, you realize you're in the right place for acute care because the day's work is demanding and rewarding.
Powerful Lessons From a First Acute Care Rotation
Q: OK, Mika, tell me, what kind of shoes do you wear on Acute Care?
Not white ones, but practical shoes; the focus is on safety and comfort for long shifts.
From Bedside to Breakthrough: Redefining Critical Care Mobility
Q: What advice would you give to therapists in smaller, rural hospitals trying to implement ICU rehab?
Identify champions across nursing and medical teams, view it as a system-wide, non-zero-sum effort, write and disseminate clear guidelines, frame mobility in terms of institutional goals like excellence, and build mobility plans into rounds to ensure accountability and ongoing momentum.
