On his IG page (@zentensivist) Dr. Siuba asked the question, "are we intubating COVID patients too late?" As another wave of COVID lingers over our head, this question is an important one. One year ago, we watched as COVID patients were intubated early only to face the cascade of complications to follow. Similarly, now we watch some COVID patients struggle on noninvasive ventilation only to inevitably need emergent intubation. Is there a right time to intubate these patients? Will we ever find the sweet spot?

Dr. Matt Siuba is a medical intensivist at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, OH. He focuses on circulatory shock as well as severe forms of respiratory failure, especially Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Additionally, he's interested in ICU procedures, particularly point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) and difficult vascular access.

He's a passionate medical educator and serves as the associate program director for the Critical Care Medicine fellowship. He's also a senior editor and regular content contributor at CriticalCareNow.com, focused on mechanical ventilation, respiratory care, and airway management.

Dan's back for another medical topic! Today we discuss what to do when your patient codes. What are the MDs responsibilities? What are the RNs responsibilities? We give  real life examples of different codes we've participated in, the real world vs ACLS algorithm, and talk about how to mentally prepare for codes. We also take tips and tricks from experienced RNs & MDs about what helps them during codes.... and what annoys them.

This episode features Dan and Abby's close friend and budding Neurologist Dr. Saritha. The three of them worked together during the first COVID surge in NYC. We explore Abby's feelings that some doctors avoid COVID room and increase exposure to nurses. Saritha talks about a time when PPE was withheld from her by nursing. 

A special thank you to Saritha for her willingness to discuss this sensitive topic.
