IBNCC – Neurological complications of COVID
The neurological manifestations of COVID is a rapidly moving target. Different strains of virus, rising levels of immunity, and challenges in sorting out causation from correlation make it impossible to write a perfect chapter on this. Nonetheless, some patterns and concepts may be helpful. The IBCC chapter is located 👉 here. The podcast & comments […]
IBNCC – Acute Demyelinating Disorders
Acute demyelinating disorders are not a common cause of ICU admission. However, these are encountered occasionally (especially acute transverse myelitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, and osmotic demyelination syndrome). Additionally, some of these disorders may be triggered by COVID, so this chapter will help us understand the neurological manifestations of COVID. The IBCC chapter is located 👉 […]

IBNCC – EEG interpretation and ictal-interictal continuum
EEG is an increasingly utilized tool among critically ill patients. This chapter explores how to interpret the clinical significance of various EEG patterns which are commonly encountered in the ICU. The IBCC chapter is located 👉 here. The podcast & comments are below. Follow us on iTunes

IBNCC – Neuro-oncology emergencies
Neuro-oncologic emergencies are commonly encountered in critical care. Rapidly evolving biological therapies for cancer offer patients exciting benefits, but have also created new sets of complications (e.g., checkpoint inhibitor-induced encephalitis). Patients may be suffering from complications of the malignancy itself, complications of therapy, or wholly unrelated problems. The IBCC chapter is located 👉 here. The […]
PulmCrit – Systemic racism of pulse oximetry: Even worse than we thought?
One and a half years ago, a landmark study by Sjoding et al. found that critically ill Black patients were more likely than White patients to have falsely reassuring pulse oximetry measurements (discussed here).1 Subsequently, six sizable studies have been published on this topic. Since this is of critical importance to acute care medicine, it’s […]

IBNCC – Movement disorder emergencies
Movement disorders are encountered more frequently in the critical care unit than one might realize. For example Parkinson’s disease alone affects ~1% of patients over sixty years old (often requiring careful consideration in medication management, to avoid either psychosis or Parkinsonism-hyperpyrexia syndrome). Other disorders are less common, but their recognition may be critical (e.g., propofol […]

IBNCC – Cervical artery dissection
Carotid or vertebral artery dissection are important considerations in trauma and also common causes of ischemic stroke among younger patients. Variable presentations and a plethora of different diagnostic modalities can make this tricky. The IBCC chapter is located 👉 here. The podcast & comments are below. Follow us on iTunes
IBNCC – Neurologic emergencies in pregnancy
Neurologic emergencies in pregnancy are challenging as there is very little high-quality evidence regarding them. This chapter attempts to review available information, but large gaps remain. Ideally, such gaps may be filled by using multidisciplinary teams which personalize care for each individual patient. The IBCC chapter is located 👉 here. The podcast & comments are […]
