LATEST CRITICAL CARE PODCASTS

Every week we scour the web to bring you the latest podcast episodes related to ICU and Critical Care Medicine. Here are the latest podcasts:

Should Lithium Be Resumed in Critically Ill Patients While Still in the ICU?
In this episode, I'll discuss 3 reasons to consider holding lithium in critically ill patients. Listen to podcast

Weaning induced pulmonary oedema (WIPO)
If you’ve worked in ICU for very long, you’ll recognise the scenario where a patient who is weaning from mechanical ventilation goes into pulmonary oedema. This syndrome is referred to as weaning induced pulmonary oedema, or WIPO. Listen to podcast

Phenobarbital for alcohol withdrawal and TRICC
In this episode we talk about "Phenobarbital-Based Protocol for Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome in a Medical ICU: Pre-Post Implementation Study" published April 2023 by Alwakeel et al and then talk about the landmark study TRICC or "A multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial of transfusion requirements in critical care" Listen to podcast
