<p>Is it time to retire the Bag-Valve-Mask for preoxygenation?</p> <p>Emergency intubation carries a notorious risk of life-threatening hypoxemia, yet the debate on the safest way to build an oxygen reserve continues...

<p>A new podcast of just me in my car</p>

<p>Is the reign of "Normal" Saline over, or is the classic bag of salt water actually the hero of the trauma bay? For years, the critical care community has debated whether we should abandon 0.9% sodium chloride in...

<p>Is Ketamine really the "hemodynamically stable" hero of airway management, or have we been unfairly vilifying Etomidate for decades? The debate over the perfect induction agent for critically ill patients just got a...

<p>Is the "best of both worlds" actually saving lungs, or just complicating care? Theoretically, combining the powerful pressure support of Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) with the comfort and washout mechanisms of...

<p>For decades, a single dogma has ruled neurotrauma resuscitation: Never use ketamine in TBI. The historical fear that ketamine spikes intracranial pressure (ICP) has kept one of the most versatile, hemodynamically...

<p>In this episode, we tackle one of the most persistent questions in perioperative care: how low is too low when it comes to hemoglobin in high-risk cardiac patients after major surgery? The long-standing restrictive...

<p>Can a Single Word Change the Culture of an ICU?</p> <p>Burnout is an epidemic in our Intensive Care Units, affecting staff well-being, patient care, and even hospital costs. But what if the solution to this...

<p>For decades, we’ve been told vasopressors belong only through central lines — but what if that’s not the whole story? In this episode, we unpack a groundbreaking multicenter study from Addis Ababa that dares to...

<p>Why are we still arguing about the best way to give fluids to patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI)? 🤔 This seems like a basic question, but the answer is complex and could mean the difference between life and...

<p>Are we giving our older patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) a fair shot? ⏱️ Current guidelines say an ECPR initiation time of up to 60 minutes is acceptable, but is that really the case for everyone...

<p>When it comes to saving lives in the ICU, every breath counts. But what’s the best way to deliver that breath—pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) or volume-controlled ventilation (VCV)?</p> <p>In this episode, we...

<p>When a patient crashes with acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema, emergency teams need fast, effective solutions. For years, non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has been the gold standard — but could high-flow nasal cannula...

<p>When a patient is crashing and every second counts, airway decisions can mean life or death. For decades, clinicians have fiercely debated: should you reach for etomidate, the hemodynamic workhorse, or ketamine, the...

<p>When major abdominal surgery pushes patients to the brink, timing is everything, especially with norepinephrine. Could giving it earlier to high-risk patients prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure and reduce...
