  • Phenomenal

    Listened to your podcasts with Dr. Reiger on metabolic disorders as my son is presenting like he may have one over the last few years.

    I listen to many medical podcasts, YouTube channels, etc., and that interview was absolutely fantastic. Deb was such a great resource – a wealth of knowledge! The interview questions were succinct and well thought out. I came away from these two episodes feeling empowered and confident that what my son is going through is likely one of the disorders discussed. ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pulmonary Embolism with Ayesha Zia
Q: What findings on history and physical exam do you feel are most commonly missed or misinterpreted in children who end up having a PE?
Persistent tachycardia, leg swelling suggesting DVT, and syncope or near-syncope are critical but often overlooked signs. Normal blood pressure in children does not guarantee stability; they can be in shock with preserved pressure. These clues should raise suspicion for PE, especially in the presence of competing risk factors like OCP use or leg swelling.
Red Blood Cell Transfusion in Critical Illness with Dr. Jennifer Muszynski (1/2)
Q: When should we transfuse red blood cells in PICU patients?
Transfusion is indicated when hemoglobin falls below certain thresholds, with clinical judgment playing a critical role in decision-making.
Red Blood Cell Transfusion in Critical Illness with Dr. Jennifer Muszynski (1/2)
Q: What are the physiologic compensatory mechanisms that allow patients to maintain adequate oxygen delivery in the context of anemia?
Compensations include increased heart rate and enhanced microcirculation, which assist in maximizing oxygen delivery despite reduced hemoglobin levels.
Red Blood Cell Transfusion in Critical Illness with Dr. Jennifer Muszynski (1/2)
Q: What do we know about rates of anemia in the PICU?
Anemia is quite common in the ICU, with many patients tolerating hemoglobin reductions, highlighting a need to re-evaluate the threshold for transfusion.
Nutrition in Critical Illness with Dr. Enid Martinez, 1/2
Q: Why is nutrition in the critically ill child so important for us to discuss? How does this impact outcomes?
Nutrition is critical because it is part of the recovery process for patients once the acute issues are addressed, aiding recovery and rehabilitation.
