In our COVID-19 Critical Care series we are hitting you with the fundamentals of critical care that you may need when caring for COVID-19 patients.
In this episode we cover non-invasive positive pressure ventilation and continuous positive airway pressure ventilation.

One of the places resuscitation begins is at the front door. In this episode we provide practical tips for nursing care for patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19.... in fact, this information could be generalized to all patients with undifferentiated dyspnea.
The Internet Book of Critical Care is a living resource for COVID-19.
REBEL EM has an excellent look at COVID-19

We are pleased to have the trailblazer Tammy Lowe and THE Korbin Haycock on the show to share their amazing Nurse Point of Care Ultrasound program, one of the only programs in the world (to our knowledge - please correct us if we're wrong... we'd love to learn more!).
Their Nurse Point of Care Ultrasound program was published in the Annals of Emergency Medicine in 2017. The link to the paper is HERE.
Tammy is a boss level Registered Nurse and the Clinical Administrator for Critical Care at a large hospital in California. Find Tammy on Twitter HERE @TammyLowe357
Korbin is an emergency physician and the definition of a resuscitationist. Find him on Twitter HERE @KHaycock2

We had the opportunity to present The Nurse Led Code and facilitate a Code Choreography workshop to the attendees at ResusX. Needless to say, it was a humbling to learn alongside the curious, bad ass physicians that attended.

We even had the chance to talk to Scott Weingart about The Nurse Led Code which was pretty cool, given that his podcast was the first place we heard of it.

The fun piece of The Nurse Led Code is that it hasn’t had direct, published data. So, if you’re a nurse looking for a research project, I recommend you look at this setup!
