You need to understand and be able to perform perfectly in the rare circumstances that still demand chest tubes
EMCrit 311 – Adrenal Crisis with Karin Amrein
Adrenal crisis can be deadly
IBCC – Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS)
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a common cause of admission to the neurological ICU, as well as a complication of critical illness that may occur among patients within any ICU. The stroke neurology team will take the lead in managing these patients (including decisions regarding tPA and endovascular intervention). This chapter focuses more on aspects […]
NeuroEMCrit – Demystifying the EEG Report
EEGs are tougher than EKGs–but you can master the basics
EMCrit 310 – Transvenous Pacemakers
As you might imagine on an EMCrit podcast, there are a ton of logistical details on placing and managing transvenous pacemakers.
PulmCrit Wee: COVID STEROID-2: Double the steroid, double the fun?
A billion years ago (or so it seems), the RECOVERY trial demonstrated mortality benefit from dexamethasone 6 mg/day for up to 10 days in hypoxemic COVID patients. This rapidly became a standard treatment. It’s a fundamental therapy that has saved lives. Nonetheless, questions linger about the optimal steroid dose. 6 mg/day dexamethasone is equivalent […]
EMCrit 309 – Critically Ill Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)
Critically Ill diabetic ketoacidosis is usually a bit of a misnomer
EMCrit 308 – Risk Stratification and Treatment of Pulmonary Embolism (PE) 2021 – Is the PERT Wilted?
PE is hard–I think we make it harder than it needs to be
IBCC – Waveform capnography
Quantitative waveform capnography is rapidly becoming a standard of care for any intubated patient. Although this may appear simple, it provides a host of information about ventilation and cardiac output. When further integrated with clinical context (such as trends in minute ventilation), there is a potential for fundamentally changing how we monitor our patients. If […]
EMCrit 307 – TTM2 Episode Retort with Ben Abella & Joe Tonna
Offering the other side their fair say…
IBCC – SCAPE (Sympathetic Crashing Acute Pulmonary Edema)
SCAPE (Sympathetic Crashing Acute Pulmonary Edema) is a specific form of severe heart failure which is seen predominantly in the emergency department and intensive care unit (as opposed to the outpatient cardiology clinic). Consequently, there is a tendency to overlook SCAPE in articles and chapters about heart failure. SCAPE is critical to recognize and intervene […]
NeuroEMCrit – What Every Clinician Should Know about External Ventricular Drains (EVDs)
EVDs, IVCs–all things intracranial monitors…
IBCC – ARDS
There probably isn’t much to say about ARDS that hasn’t been said in some form within the past couple years. We’ve debated continually about the optimal approach to this syndrome, in the absence of much solid evidence (the only large, multi-center RCT which has been replicated in ARDS was ACURASYS – and it failed to […]
EMCrit 306 – Critically Ill and Severe Anaphylaxis
The management and treatment of severe and critical anaphylaxis
PulmCrit – 10 minute talk on hypoxemia physiology
Here is a 10-minute video I made for the Cooper Critical Care Conference. It explores some basic & useful concepts about hypoxemia physiology, including how to apply this at the bedside. The algorithms in the video aren’t intended to be strictly followed, but rather merely as general conceptual schemas. related For more information about the […]
