January 01, 2024 14. Massive Hemoptysis
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!

November 20, 2023 12. DVT Prophylaxis In The Critically Ill
Every time we admit or care for a critically ill patient, we must consider their risk for deep venous thrombosis, or DVT. Many of our patients are at higher risk for DVT than the general population, but anticoagulants are not wholly benign drugs. What do we do? How do we decide who to treat medically, who to treat with mechanical compressive devices and identify patients who may NOT need anything? When do risks outweigh benefits? What agent is best?
Join Nick and Cyrus as they interview hematologist & oncologist Dr. Matthew Rendo (Twitter/X: Rendoncology) as they do a deep dive into managing DVT prophylaxis in the critically ill patient!

November 06, 2023 11. The Physiologically Difficult Airway
Airway management in the critically ill can be one of the most challenging, stressful and rewarding elements of critical care medicine. While the anatomically challenging airway is often the first place our minds go when discussing difficult airways, the physiologically difficult airway is both more common and often requires more savvy to overcome. Join Cyrus & Nick as they take a pragmatic, case-based approach to this topic with the hopes of equipping you with the tools you need to successfully take a physiologically difficult airway, or support an airway operator charged with this task!

October 09, 2023 9. Cardiac Arrest & Running a Code
Running a code is a stressful proposition. The code team leader is responsible for conducting an orchestra in a most austere environment, with the goal of guiding the team towards success - defined hopefully by a successful resuscitation. The code team leader needs to have the presence of mind to lead, but also needs to know how to delegate responsibilities and quickly cultivate a shared mental-model between the various team members. Join Nick and Cyrus as they try to demystify some of the elements of leading a code by providing practical pearls and shedding light on potential pitfalls during this episode on Cardiac Arrest and Running a Code.

September 25, 2023 8. Legal Considerations and Patient Care with Drs. Erin DeMartino & Matthew Griffith
The intersection between patient care and the legal system can be a tricky one to navigate. Our duty as members of the healthcare team - irrespective of a patient’s social history - is to provide the best care we can, while protecting a patient’s privacy. Unfortunately, this can sometimes be easier said than done, and traveling such choppy waters can be challenging! Join Nick & Cyrus as they host Drs. Erin DeMartino & Matthew Griffith of Scopes and Shields for a case-based discussion which will hopefully equip you with some knowledge and tools for the next time you have a patient who is in custody or otherwise involved with the legal system.

August 14, 2023 5. Zorses and Hebras
They say that when you hear hoofbeats, you should look for horses. This age-old medical adage makes sense in many circumstances, but what do you do when the paradigm is flawed? What if what we generally accept as a common entity, is actually rare? What about the reverse? In this first episode of Zorses & Hebras, Nick & Cyrus will discuss some of these very entities in the context of critical illness, shed some light on them, and explain why focusing on the Horses & Zebras model may bite you on the tail!
