#30 Hypoxemia Masterclass
Join Nick and Cyrus as they teach a master class on hypoxemia for everyone and anyone who is ICU adjacent! We discuss why oxygen is so crucial, share some very interesting animal physiology and - perhaps most importantly- discuss the 6 causes of hypoxemia you MUST know… and what you can do about them! Take a listen, let us know what you think, and leave us a review!
#29 Pleural Disease Part 3: Hemothorax & Bronchoplueral Fistulas
On this episode we continue our discussion of pleural disease with a focus on hemothorax & management of bronchopleural fistulas. Small tube or large tube? When do you call in the reinforcements? What about endobronchial valves for persistent air leaks? Learn the answers to these questions - and so much more with Dr. Mike Sobieszczyk our expert interventionalist!
#28 Pleural Disease Part 2: Empyema & Hemothorax
On this episode of Critical Care Time, Nick & Cyrus revisit the pleural space! We had SO much great content we opted to split the episode into two parts. We also figured it would be nice to get an interventionalists take on this and we thus recruited Dr. Mike Sobieszczyk to help navigate this complex topic! Here we discuss things like hepatic hydrothorax, indwelling pleural catheters and all things parapneumonic effusion. Check it out and leave us a review! If you missed our first episode on pleural disease, head on back to episode 10 and get caught up. If you like what you heard here, make sure to come back in 2 weeks for the second part!
#22 Bronchoscopy Emergencies w/ PulmPEEPs
(blurb)Like that time the Jetsons met the Flintstones or the more recent colab between Lululemon and Peloton, join us for an epic pairing between Critical Care Time hosts Cyrus & Nick and the PulmPEEPS - Drs. Dave Furfaro and Kristina Montemayor. On this show we use a case based approach to answer the question: How can a bronchoscope save your @$$ in the ICU and beyond? We take a practical look at airway bleeds, trach emergencies and so much more with our friends from PulmPEEPs!
#16 Pulmonary Embolism Part 2
in Part II of our discussion of PE, Nick & Cyrus discuss the Pillars of PE Management! We review the literature behind lytics in non-massive PEs, talk about airway management, hemodynamics and more! Make sure you listen to Part I if you missed it as it sets the stage for this fantastic, treatment focused discussion.
#15 Pulmonary Embolism Part 1
There are few things in medicine Nick & Cyrus enjoy talking about more than PE! Join the guys from Critical Care Time as they tackle this massive topic via a two-part epic that’ll prove to be the best saga since The Lord of The Rings! In part one they talk about diagnosis, clinical decision support tools and demystify the pathophysiology behind pulmonary emboli. Check it out and be sure to catch the second half in two weeks! We promise you’ll get your money’s worth!
#14 Massive Hemoptysis w/ Dr. Whittney Warren
Hemoptysis can be a scary thing to encounter in medicine and massive hemoptysis - i.e. life threatening hemoptysis - is a serious emergency that often requires cognitive agility and technical prowess. Join Nick & Cyrus as they talk with Dr. Whittney Warren - an intensivist and interventional pulmonologist - who walks us through her pragmatic approach to life-threatening hemoptysis. What medications can we use to stabilize these patients? How would we go about intubating such a patient? What bronchoscopic tools do we have at our disposal? Listen to this first CCT episode of 2024 and find out!
#10 Pneumothorax & Pleural Disease
Whether you work in the ICU, on the medicine wards or in the prehospital setting, you've got to be familiar with the unsung hero of the thorax - the pleura! On this episode of Critical Care Time, Cyrus & Nick extol the virtues of this humble structure, cover a little comparative physiology and spend the latter half of their chat discussing all things pneumothorax. Sit back, relax and enjoy this episode packed with pulmonary and critical care pearls that will take your breath away!
