EMCrit 112 – A Response to the Marik Sepsis Fluids Lecture
Last week I posted a lecture by Paul Marik on Fluid Management in severe sepsis. The lecture is the equivalaent of a bucket of ice water poured over your head. Now let’s give you a towel and discuss.
EMCrit 89 – Lessons from the STOP Sepsis Collaborative
We have hit the 10,0000 patient mark in the NYC STOP Sepsis collaborative. Here are some of the lessons learned…

EMCrit 37 – Lactate in Sepsis
When an ED starts providing advanced care for severe sepsis, lactate testing is an absolute requirement. Lactate use brings up a lot of questions, especially if it is not commonly ordered in your department. In this podcast, I discuss all of the lactate questions that have come up in the course of the NYC Sepsis Collaborative.
EMCrit 22 – Non-Invasive Severe Sepsis Care
Young patient, lactate of 5.2, pneumonia… You know what you’re supposed to do–put in the central line and start early goal directed therapy. Problem is, most people can’t see sticking a central line in a patient that does not need pressors and otherwise looks well. Yet these patient have an annoying habit of going on to decompensate and perish. Well now there may be another way. Thanks to an article just published in JAMA, we may have a path to non-invasive treatment of severe sepsis. In this EMCrit Podcast, I interview Dr. Alan E. Jones, author of the article, Lactate clearance vs central venous oxygen saturation as goals of early sepsis therapy: a randomized clinical trial. Then I discuss how this article changes the game when it comes to caring for severe sepsis patients.
EMCrit 14 – EGDT Tirade (Historical Use Only)
In this episode I rant and rave about why for the most part Emergency Medicine has disappointed me by not doing something about our sick septic patients. If you are offering aggressive (Early Goal Directed) therapy in the ED, then good on you.
