Pediatrica intensiva: Art & Science of Pediatric Critical Care

3rd regular episode of Pediatrica Intensiva with Dr Ravi Thiagarajan - Division Chief of Cardiovascular Critical Care at Boston Children's Hospital

Patients with single ventricle heart disease are a very high risk group for cardiopulmonary arrest and requirement for ECMO support. Arrest and CPR is not inevitable and we are increasingly finding ways to prevent it, as well as manage the CPR and ECMO period with more nuance and better outcomes.

Hosts: Dr Greg Kelly (Westmead Children's Hospital, Sydney, Australia), Peta Alexander (Boston Children's Hospital), Mike Clifford (Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne). Produced & edited by Caitlin Gibson, special thanks to Maya Newell.

2nd regular episode of Pediatrica Intensiva with Dr Mike Seed, division head of cardiology from Sick Kids and also a fully qualified cardiac radiologist.

Patients with otherwise normal hearts can tolerate single residual lesions fairly well, but in single ventricle patients they are often associated with major adverse outcomes. Modern management involves aggressive monitoring for and intervention on residual lesions, though interventions must be seen in the context of the whole patient.

1st regular episode of Pediatrica Intensiva with Dr Peter Laussen, cardiac intensivist & anaesthesiologist from Boston Children's Hospital who is one of the world's most experienced people at dealing with borderline left heart patients, one of the toughest groups of critical congenital heart patients.

These patients are tricky because of issues with terminology, testing, management and differences in institutional approach. A whole-of-program understanding is vital to ensuring best outcomes.

Surviving COVID19 in NYC feat. Sam Parnia (intensivist at NYC Langone) & Liz Crowe (social worker & world-leading resilience expert). At the time of recording in April 2020, only Wuhan, Italy and NYC had sizeable COVID-19 epidemics. We knew it was going to be bad, but we weren't sure how we were going to cope. In this conversation we focussed on the personal characteristics that enable us to find meaning, draw on our resilience and to care for our patients and loved ones in such trying times.

Recorded in early March 2020, one of the first interviews with frontline intensive care doctors about the realities of managing an epidemic of COVID-19 and critically ill COVID-19 patients in Bergamo, Italy. At the time of recording Italy was the only place outside Wuhan with a sizeable outbreak and the entire world was not prepared for what was to come.

This recording became an invaluable warning bell and helped many countries and health systems to prepare.
