18. Journal Club - DL VS VL: The Device Trial

02/26/24 • 32 min

On this week’s installment of Critical Care Time, Nick & Cyrus tackle the recent multicenter, randomized control DEVICE Trial, which compared direct to video laryngoscopy in 17 American ICUs & EDs with the primary outcome of interest being successful intubation on first attempt. During this episode, we’ll take a deep dive into the paper, discuss other literature, and weigh-in ourselves based upon our own experiences and the data that’s available. Give it a listen and let us know what YOU think!

17. Hyponatremia in Critical Illness with Dr Joel Topf

Sit back and grab some salty treats as you enjoy the mindful musings of master nephrologist Dr. Joel Topf (X: @Kidney_Boy) who joins Nick & Cyrus to chat about hyponatremia in critical illness - a very common condition. Here we discuss diagnosis and management of hyponatremia with special attention to those in the intensive care unit. Of course, no discussion is complete without plenty of time dedicated to osmotic demyelination syndrome (aka: central pontine myelinolysis) which gets plenty of face-time during this episode. Give it a listen and leave feeling confident in your ability to diagnose and manage a very prevalent condition in our patient population!

19. Metabolic Acidosis w/ NephMadness

In this Critical Care Time x Neph Madness colab, Nick & Cyrus host Drs. Tim Yau and Jeff Kott for a comprehensive discussion of metabolic acidosis with a focus on critically ill patients. We start by outlining a pragmatic approach to acid/base derangements peppered with some fact finding and myth busting, CCT style! We then turn our attention to working up and treating metabolic acidosis in the ICU. If you are looking for a one stop shop when it comes to metabolic acidosis in the ICU - look no further. You may even figure out what Spanx & sodium bicarb have in common!
