#41 Cardiogenic Shock
If you thought ARDS was a long episode... get ready for a marathon! This week on Critical Care Time, Cyrus and Nick take on the unenviable task of trying to cover everything you need to know about cardiogenic shock - at least in broad strokes - in ONE episode! That's right, this is your one-stop-shop for all things cardiogenic shock. While we will have some deep dives on RV and LV failure, as well as ECMO and other mechanical circulatory support options - this episode has a little bit of it all to wet your whistle and then some! We deconstruct the epidemiology of cardiogenic shock, do a deep dive on the SCAI classes of cardiogenic shock, talk pathophysiology (duh!) and then move on to treatment considerations - both medical and mechanical - followed finally by some cases to cement all the learning. We know this is a long one so feel free to listen/watch in chunks. However you decide to enjoy it, we are certain you will walk away from it ready to conquer the next CGS case you come across! Once you've finished this epic - leave us a review and let us know how we did!

#36 Inotropes
Get excited for a new episode jam packed-episode with Critical Care goodness! Nick & Cyrus deconstruct, demystify and unpack Inotropes. These medications are essential in the world of critical care when we have to manage cardiogenic shock. What are the different inotropes? How can you decide which one is right for your patient? And... what's the difference between an Inotropic and an Ionotropic agent? You'll learn all this and so much more on this week's episode of Critical Care Time: The Podcast for Everyone Who Cares for the Critically Ill!
