Podcasts about critically ill patients

In this episode of the Saving Lives Podcast, we reviews a 2024 multicenter study on valproic acid for hyperactive delirium and agitation in ICU patients. The findings show that VPA may help reduce sedation needs, improve ventilator synchrony, and resolve delirium without major adverse effects. Tune in for practical insights into this emerging option for complex critical care cases.The Vasopressor & Inotrope HandbookI have written "The Vasopressor & Inotrope Handbook: A Practical Guide for Healthcare Professionals," a must-read for anyone caring for critically ill patients (check out the reviews)!

Acute kidney injury is a frequent complication of critical illness, and a subgroup of these patients will require renal replacement therapy. In this episode. Dr. Sergio Zanotti discusses optimizing renal replacement therapy in the ICU. He is joined by Dr. Michael J. Connor, Jr., a practicing intensivist and nephrologist. He is a professor and senior physician of critical care medicine and nephrology at the Divisions of Pulmonary, Allergy, Critical Care, & Sleep Medicine and Renal Medicine at Emory University School of Medicine. In addition, he is the director of critical care nephrology at the Emory Critical Care Center at Grady Memorial Hospital.

Admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) can be a challenging experience for patients and their families. Psychological burdens, including symptoms of anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress, are among the most reported during the ICU stay.A recent study has been carried out as a joint project between France and the United States in which the experts have designed an intervention to improve outcomes for patients' families. For this intervention, they evaluated the nurse facilitator to support, model and teach communication strategies that will help in securing care aligned with patients' goals at the ICU. To learn more about this intervention, we interviewed one of the main authors, Nancy Kentish Barnes. Listen to our podcast for deeper insights into this study!

How effective is red light therapy for reducing stress when you irradiate both your brain and your gut?Can methylene blue reduce mortality in those critically ill?How safe and effect is C60 according to a recent toxicity report?​​​​In today's solosode, we're diving back into the research! And it ended up being a sheer coincidence that we're covering each topic of The Mitochondrial Triad. The first article looks at how beneficial photobiomodulation can be for reducing stress when you target both the brain and the gut to enhance mental health via the gut-brain axis. The second article is an abstract of a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials that demonstrates the efficacy and safety of methylene blue for critically ill individuals and perioperative patients. The last study comes from our friends at SES Research where they are studying the toxicity of carbon 60 to verify its safety and efficacy. With C60 being such a new supplement for human consumption, SES Research is going through the necessary and proper steps to demonstrate the safety of this novel and seemingly beneficial molecule. Hopefully, studies like this will help C60 become more widely adopted so that more people can benefit from it.

Contributor: Aaron Lessen MD Educational Pearls: The case: A gentleman came in from a nursing home with symptoms concerning for sepsis. He was hypotensive, hypoxic, febrile, and mentally altered. His past medical history included previous strokes which had left him with deficits for which he required a feeding tube. Initial workup included some point of care labs which revealed a sodium of 165 mEq/L (normal range 135-145) Hypernatremia What causes it? Dehydration, from insufficient fluid intake. This might happen in individuals who cannot drink water independently, such as infants, elderly, or disabled people, as was the case for this patient. Other causes of dehydration/hypernatremia include excessive sweating; diabetes insipidus; diuretic use; kidney dysfunction; and severe burns which can lead to fluid loss through the damaged skin. How do you correct it? Need to correct slowly, not more than 10 to 12 meq/L in 24 hours Can do normal saline (0.9%) or half saline (0.45%) and D5, at 150-200 mL per hour. Check the sodium frequently (every 2-3 hours) Will likely need ICU-level monitoring What happens if you correct it too quickly? Cerebral edema Seizures Bonus fact: Correction of hyponatremia too quickly causes osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS).

Have you ever gotten an IV nutrient drip? Tempted by the promises of better energy, clearer skin, clearing a hangover, or improving your immunity? Before you go out and spend hundreds of dollars on an IV drip at one of the trendy “drip bars”, you need to listen to this episode! We discuss the health claims and evidence (or lack thereof), risks and safety concerns, and whether or not we are on board with IV nutrient therapy.    In this episode, we discuss the buzzworthy trend of IV nutrient therapy. While it may sound promising to have a megadose of vitamins infused directly into your veins, there are some serious drawbacks and limitations to this type of infusion. Some nutrients in these infusions are in poor quality forms, while others are coupled with preservatives and parabens that may do more harm than good. Learn about risks and benefits, who should absolutely not get an IV drip, and why we prefer high quality oral supplementation.    Also in this episode: Live Keto Program Starts 9/6 - Early Bird $50 off with code EARLYBIRD50 What is IV Nutrient Therapy?
