Join the University of Washington Surgical Palliative Care Team for their final episode of this series — a dual journal review and clinical challenges discussion on assessing medical decision-making capacity. Using Dr. Paul Applebaum's foundational framework, the team outlines the four key criteria for evaluating capacity and brings the topic to life through two contrasting standardized patient scenarios. This episode highlights why capacity assessment is not only relevant but essential for surgeons navigating complex, high-stakes decisions.  Hosts:  Dr. Katie O'Connell (@katmo15) is an associate professor of surgery at the University of Washington. She is a trauma surgeon, palliative care physician, director of surgical palliative care, and founder of the Advance Care Planning for Surgery clinic at Harborview Medical Center, Seattle, WA.

Critical Care St James's Hospital in the past year, have abolished the practice of measuring Gastric Residual Volumes (GRV's). This practice has been ingrained in many ICU's nationally and internationally for many years now despite little to no evidence to support it. We interview key members of the MDT today including Dr Arnaud-Felix Miailhe Consultant Intensivist, Emer O Sullivan Clinical Specialist Dietitian and Deirdre Doyle Practice Development Facilitator Critical Care St James's Hospital about the changes in practice, the literature surrounding this practice and the value of MDT involvement in driving change.

Welcome, MedTech Gurus! What if the key to reducing ICU infections, saving costs, and restoring patient dignity lay in rethinking something as overlooked as a catheter? In today's episode, Frank Gehres, CEO of Advanced Medical Balloons, shows us how his team is revolutionizing critical care with next-gen balloon technology. From tackling infection-prone ICU environments to pioneering low-pressure, high-seal solutions, Frank reveals how innovation can emerge from even the most ignored corners of healthcare. We'll explore clinical wins, hospital adoption strategies, and how to build a mission-driven culture around solving real-world problems. You're going to love the insights Frank brings to this episode!

Antimicrobial resistance is a rising global threat. When these become ineffective, infections can become difficult or impossible to treat, leading to an increase in the spread and severity of disease. In a new study, published in Nature Medicine, a team of researchers at the Center for Phage Biology and Therapy at Yale discovered a novel approach that may revolutionize the fight against antimicrobial resistance. In the study, the research team investigated the use of phage therapy—the use of viruses, or phages, to target and kill bacteria—to help patients with cystic fibrosis, a disease in which antimicrobial resistance is a significant issue. The team pioneered a strategy to select phages that not only kill bacteria that cause infections but also weaken surviving bacteria to become less virulent or less resistant to antibiotics. Joining me today to discuss phage therapy and their research is Jon Koff, MD, Dr. Koff is an associate professor in Yale School of Medicine's Section of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine and medical director of the Center for Phage Biology and Therapy.   Check out the paper: Phage Therapy May Treat Drug Resistance in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis, Study Finds   Watch the video version at Outbreak News TV

The critical care landscape is a dynamic one, filled with team members with all sorts of backgrounds who have various skill sets and experiences to bring to the table. In this episode of Critical Care Time we focus on the role NPs & PAs - sometimes referred to collectively as APPs - play in the ICU. To help us explore this we sat down with Gary Macy of Duke University a Critical Care NP in their Neuroscience ICU who has many years of experience working as an ICU NP. During our discussion we explored numerous topics such as the concerns regarding education, "turf wars" and what integrative models might best serve our patients.

03/02/25The Healthy Matters PodcastS04_E10 - Controlled Chaos: A Day in the Life of an Emergency NurseThere are a lot of important people in healthcare, but the medical system itself simply would not exist without one essential piece of the puzzle: NURSES.  It might be impossible to give them enough credit for the many important jobs they do - from the Emergency Department to the clinics.  They literally see it all, and regardless of how intense the situation might be, somehow always seem to keep their cool.Emergency Department nurses are a special breed and the backbone of hospital emergency care, and in Episode 10, we'll be joined by one of these unsung heroes.  Kara Fussy (BAN-RN, CCRN) is a Critical Care and Emergency Medicine nurse, working in the Emergency Department of HCMC, a major Level I Trauma Center. In our conversation, we'll get insights and stories from what can be one of the most intense places in the hospital.  We'll learn about the personal and professional challenges of the job,  what it takes to thrive in this position, and also hear stories about a few of the more interesting patient cases she's seen over the past few decades.  It's safe to say this job is not for everyone, and this is an excellent chance to learn about the role and experience from someone who lives this job day in and day out.  We hope you'll join us.We're open to your comments or ideas for future shows!Email - healthymatters@hcmed.orgCall - 612-873-TALK (8255)Get a preview of upcoming shows on social media and find out more about our show at www.healthymatters.org.

Due to advancements in medical and surgical care, the survival of patients with congenital conditions into adulthood has dramatically increased. However, as these individuals transition to adulthood, their unique physiology, chronic complications, and evolving care needs create significant challenges for their management when they are admitted to adult intensive care units (ICUs). This episode will discuss adult congenital disease in the ICU. Dr. Zanotti is joined by Dr. Cameron Dezfulian, a pediatric and adult critical care physician. He is the director of the Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program Development for the Section of Critical Care at Texas Children's Hospital and a faculty member at Cardiothoracic Critical Care at Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center.
