  • Amazing!

    I’m a new NP starting in a medical ICU in Montana and I appreciate you both so much for all of the information you provide! I do not come from an ICU background but did work as a nurse for several years in an ER, so I appreciate you taking time to explain everything in terms I understand and detail that is critical to me as a provider. I appreciate the format with exam, diagnosis, and treatment as well. Giving differentials is also really beneficial. It has helped me so much so far and I hope yo... more

    I’m an acute care nurse practitioner doing palliative care with a love for critical care and this podcast is incredible. There is so much information and it’s fantastic for anyone dealing with critically ill patients be it those who directly manage or, like myself, are consultant services wanting to make sure my own critical care knowledge is as up to date as possible. Thank you so much!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

76. ICU Sustainability with Drs Stephanie Maximos and Hari Shankar
Q: What is one actionable change a clinician can implement this week?
Start by auditing daily practices for unnecessary disposables and tests, and implement a 1% improvement mindset—for example, substituting metered-dose inhalers with lower-emission options when clinically appropriate, and ensuring easy disposal routing to limit regulated medical waste.
72. ICU Toxicology with Dr. Adam Mora
Q: How do you approach suspected opioid overdose when deciding on naloxone dosing?
The host explains titrating Narcan carefully to restore ventilation without provoking withdrawal, using bolus doses to assess response and considering infusion only when ongoing respiratory depression persists after initial reversal.
72. ICU Toxicology with Dr. Adam Mora
Q: What fueled your passion for toxicology in the ICU?
Adam Mora emphasizes that toxicology is encountered early in training, presents unique diagnostic clues, and offers the chance to make rapid, life-saving interventions in the ICU through pattern recognition and a solid physical exam.
55. Cirrhosis & Variceal Bleeds
Q: How soon is endoscopy necessary following a variceal bleed?
Ideally, endoscopy should occur within 12 hours of the initial bleed to prevent further complications.
55. Cirrhosis & Variceal Bleeds
Q: What non-invasive monitoring tools might assist in managing the critically ill cirrhotic patient?
Utilizing tools such as ultrasound for vascular assessment and trending lactate levels for perfusion status are crucial.
