April 07, 2025 46. From Chaos to Clarity: Effective Communication in the ICU
It’s well known that many of the problems we encounter on a daily basis in medicine are related to ineffective communication. When caring for the critically ill, it’s vital that such lapses in communication are minimized. Join us along with Genae Christensen- a current MS-2, active critical care flight nurse and prior ECMO program coordinator as we delve into some important communication pitfalls and pearls. We will cover topics such as the authority gradient and how to navigate that, where misunderstandings may stem from, and how using structured communication systems may help you stay out of trouble. Give us a listen, let us know YOUR thoughts, share the show with your friends, and leave us a review!

March 10, 2025 44. Critical Partners: The Vital Roles of NPs and PAs in Critical Care
The critical care landscape is a dynamic one, filled with team members with all sorts of backgrounds who have various skill sets and experiences to bring to the table. In this episode of Critical Care Time we focus on the role NPs & PAs - sometimes referred to collectively as APPs - play in the ICU. To help us explore this we sat down with Gary Macy of Duke University a Critical Care NP in their Neuroscience ICU who has many years of experience working as an ICU NP. During our discussion we explored numerous topics such as the concerns regarding education, "turf wars" and what integrative models might best serve our patients. Give us a listen and let us know what you think!

With the help of our good friends Nick Villalobos and Kha Dinh, we review indications for ECMO, approaches to configuration and management, touch on some of the complications and… even spend some time demystifying the European unit for girth!

January 27, 2025 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!
