In this episode, Eric discusses the current evidence, approach and opinions on treating patients in metabolic acidosis w/ partial compensation. How do we determine the correct minute ventilation? Does education cause us to have calculated discrimination for these patients?  How do we best approach this type of patient and how often do we really see a patient that needs high minute ventilation? Should education focus more on critical thinking and the identification of these patients? Join us for "Blankets are for Naps, Not Medicine: Metabolic Acidosis - Calculated Discrimination"!

In this episode, Mike Verkest joins Eric and Dr. Dimitri Yannopoulos to discuss the role of ECMO in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

His work in the laboratories of Dr. Keith Lurie (at the University of Minnesota) and Dr. Henry Halperin (at Johns Hopkins University) has helped change current CPR practices. We will discuss the ARREST trial and learn about the trials he is blazing in cardiac arrest care.
