As a critical care clinician, do you consider yourself well-versed in comfort care? Do you consider yourself well-rehearsed in having the discussions leading up to the patient's or family's decision to implement it? This concept may be outside your comfort zone, especially if you work in emergency medicine. But the fact of the matter is, from the prehospital environment all the way to the ICU, we are provided many opportunities for implementation of this type of care plan. Join us for a discussion with an ICU charge nurse where we tell you how to do so effectively and tactfully.

Atrial fibrillation, particularly A-Fib with RVR (Rapid Ventricular Response), is often an emergency requiring emergent intervention beyond ACLS and its associated algorithms. Identification of A-Fib can be challenging in itself, much less trying to determine what intervention(s) are indicated. This includes chemical and/or electrical cardioversion. So where do we start? And where should we end up? Dan and Mike will let you know in this podcast episode.

Vascular emergencies refer to any time-sensitive condition where perfusion is prevented secondary to bleeding or occlusion of a vessel. These can include, but is not limited to, the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and aorta. And depending on the severity of the aneurysm or embolism/thrombus, downstream ischemia can significantly impact a patient's quality of life. How do we identify these conditions? When are they classified as a true emergency? And how do we treat patients with the notion that strict hemodynamic parameters are indicated?

Join us for a clinical heavy podcast episode where we focus on ischemic leg, SMA ischemia/dead gut, and thoracic/AAA.

Reviewing case studies with trusted colleagues can be extremely beneficial. Not only does it provide a moment of reflection on actions taken, but it also provides different approaches that may be applicable to future scenarios.

Occasionally we like to challenge each other, and this episode is no exception. Tune in as Amanda, Dan, and Mike present three real case studies and see if they would approach the same patient differently. We start from "bread and butter" to the complex critically ill.

Myocardial infarctions can present in a variety of ways depending on vessel involvement, timing of pathology, and interpretation of diagnostics (e.g., 12-lead EKG). Unfortunately, not every patient with a myocardial infarction will fit STEMI criteria's paradigm, which has lead to the adoption of a new term: OMI (Occlusion Myocardial Infarction). In this podcast episode, we are joined by our very own Nick Zuber to discuss his recent OMI and why he's able to sit down and talk with us today.

No matter what level of scope, management of medical and traumatic cardiac arrests is the focus of many clinicians. But what happens after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) is achieved? Many do not appreciate the fact that the likeliness of re-arrest is high. How can we avoid return of spontaneous arrest by appropriately treating the patient during the peri-arrest phase and subsequently improving quality of life? Tune in to another nugget-filled podcast episode where the team discusses everything from etiology identification to treatment methods beyond the scope of PALS and ACLS.
