    Excellent! Good depth and accurate information. I listened to this for the ANZCA primary (not alot of targeted primary exam audio content overall and enough college overlap to make this still high yield), Maddi/Swapnil became my regular to and from work. Love!

    I have been listening to previous episodes on my hour commute. Lots of pertinent information gained for a new pharmacy residency position. I’ve been out of school since 2005 and have ventured back to the clinical aspect of pharmacy. This is a great review and get up to date information. Thank you

    Fab podcast - it’s great to review concepts and check my understanding/ answers to questions. The jokes are excellent, whoever that was from Brisbane that said they’re cringeworthy - BOO! Thanks Maddy and Swapnil, great work 👍🏻

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#Epi 106 - ICU Primary Snippet - ROTEM: Platelet Dysfunction, Heparin and Hyperfibrinolysis
Q: A, platelet dysfunction, B, therapeutic heparin use, C, hyperfibrinolysis, describe the expected alterations and underlying mechanisms for each using ROTEM.
Platelet dysfunction mainly prolongs the clot formation time and reduces maximum clot firmness due to impaired platelet-fibrin interaction, while EXTEM/INTEM/APTEM show this as a delayed propagation but normal initial clotting factors. Therapeutic heparin primarily prolongs INTEM clotting time, with HEPTEM normalizing the effect when heparinase is added, indicating a heparin-mediated delay rather than a factor deficiency. Hyperfibrinolysis shows markedly prolonged fib TEM clotting time with a rise in maximum lysis across XTEM/INTEM/FIBTEM, and APTEM helps demonstrate fibrinolysis inhibition; aptem is often normal due to aprotinin. These patterns help distinguish the causes and guide targeted management.
