Episode 244: Pulmonary Artery Pulsatility Index to Assess Right Heart Function with Drs. Essandoh and Kumar

A Podcast for Anesthesia and Critical Care Reviews, Debates and Commentary

Health & Fitness

In this 280th episode I share the shocking and tragic news that Dr. Gillian Isaac died suddenly and unexpectedly a few weeks ago. She was an incredible human being, teacher, doctor, wife and mother. She will be missed more than I can say by more people than we can possibly count. I know that she would want us to continue with these keyword episodes that she loved doing and so I am going to try. I know they will never be the same, but they will be dedicated to her memory. Today I address the keyword of shock states and discuss the 4 types of shock and how they may be covered on your exams. I miss you, Gillian.
