June 02, 2025 50. Fever in the ICU w/ Dr Luis Tatem
We see fever every day in the ICU but what’s the best approach to diagnosis and when do we need to go on a Zebra hunt? In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Luis Tatem, a physician triple-boarded in Internal Medicine, Infectious Diseases, and Critical Care — plus certified in Tropical Medicine from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. We explore the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to fever in the ICU, including practical pearls for evaluating fevers in patients returning from global travel. We then walk through high-yield case vignettes that illustrate diseases like malaria, dengue, typhoid, leptospirosis, and more.

May 19, 2025 49. ARDS Imitators with Dr Warren & Dr Blagev
On this week's episode of Critical Care Time, we revisit ARDS... sort of! We are joined again by Dr. Whittney Warren & for the first time by Denitza Blagev for a dynamic discussion on ARDS imitators: Things that looks like ARDS but aren't technically ARDS - or are they? It's a bit of a confusing landscape as you'll see, where the lines are blurred and things get a bit murky. We'll unpack diagnoses like EVALI, DAH, AIP and more in the context of ARDS and help you guys come up with a framework for the "ARDS" patient who doesn't seem to respond to the tried and true approaches we discussed earlier this year on our ARDS Epic-sode!. As always, give it a listen and let us know what you think!

May 05, 2025 48. Interventional Pulmonary In The ICU with Dr. Joshua Boster, MD
In this episode of Critical Care Time, Dr. Joshua Boster joins Cyrus and Nick to explore how interventional pulmonary (IP) skills can be life-saving in the ICU. From managing malignant central airway obstruction with rigid bronchoscopy to navigating pleural disease, persistent air leaks, and even life-threatening hemoptysis, Dr. Boster shares practical insights from the front lines. Listeners will learn how IP tools can transform critical care decision-making and offer meaningful interventions when time and options are limited. Whether you're an intensivist, a trainee, or just IP-curious, this episode highlights procedures that not only restore patency—but restore hope. Give it a listen, leave us a review and let us know what you think!

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!

Now… We didn’t say we are tackling this alone! Join us as we explore the wide world obstetrics in the ICU with Drs. Stephanie Levine and Adam Mora! Together we review the physiologic changes in pregnancy, unique considerations when it comes to general ICU management of the OB patient and then we delve into some OB cases where we tackle things like postpartum hemorrhage, cardiac arrest and more!

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!

February 24, 2025 43. ICU Mobility with Kali Dayton, DNP
The idea that movement is medicine doesn’t stop with the critically ill. On this week’s episode of Critical Care Time we sit down with Kali Dayton, a critical care NP with a passion for ICU mobility. We talk all things mobility in the critically ill: The roles of bedside nurses and clinicians, how we can implement best mobility practices with our patients, the financial and patient-care benefits of fostering a culture of movement in your ICU and what it means to be an “ICU Revolutionist” - along with so much more! If you truly care for the critically ill you cannot miss this episode!

February 10, 2025 42. Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
On this week’s episode of Critical Care Time, we sit down with two brilliant early-career ECMOlogists for an “intro-plus” to VV and VA ECMO. Not only do we cover the basics, but we couldn’t help ourselves and went on some deep dives along the way that you guys will hopefully find interesting! 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! We hope you guys will have as much fun listening to this as we did producing it. If so, leave us a review and let us know what you think!

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!
