Podcasts about ICU

She's one of the internet's ultimate it-girls, but Avery Woods' story goes far beyond what you see online. A former pediatric ICU nurse turned content creator, podcast host, and mom of four, Avery built her career from the ground up while navigating the highs and lows that come with life in the public eye. In this episode, she gets candid about hitting rock bottom with her mental health, her struggles with bulimia and body image, and the cosmetic procedures she's had. Avery also shares how she set boundaries to protect her peace, rebuilt her confidence, and created a sustainable path to success. This conversation is a reminder that you can chase big goals, protect your energy, and build your dream life!Follow Avery:Instagram: @averyywoodsTikTok: @averyywoodsYouTube: CHEERS!

Planning for birth often centers around the joyful, expected moments, skin-to-skin, golden hour, and bringing your baby home. But what about the unexpected? What happens if birth takes a catastrophic turn?In this joint episode with The BirthLounge Podcast, HeHe Stewart and I are collaborating again. Together, we unpack what it means to create a catastrophic birth plan, a tool to help families feel informed and empowered even in rare, life-threatening situations.I share my personal experience of surviving an AFE and what I wish had been in place for myself, my baby, and my partner. This episode explores:

What is the microcirculation? How are terms like volume-status and fluid-responsiveness misleading? Join us as we sit down with Dr. Ross Prager to unpack and de-mystify the concepts of congestion and volume tolerance along with our survey of the tools of the trade as it relates to these terms. On this Critical Care Time episode we really get into the weeds on this stuff and even get theoretical at some points so it's NOT for the faint of heart! However, if you listen to us for the deep dives into physiology and if you want to level-up your ICU patient care, this is the episode for you! Listen, leave us some feedback and drop us a review!

In this episode of the NCS Podcast Currents series, host Lauren Koffman, DO, MS, speaks with Swarna Rajagopalan, MD, MS, associate professor of neurology Cooper University Health Care about her recent co-authored Currents article on the role of ultrasound guidance in performing lumbar punctures in the neuroscience ICU. They discuss the limitations of the landmark-based technique, when ultrasound can improve safety and accuracy, and how point-of-care training supports providers. Dr. Rajagopalan also describes why neurointensivists should consider increasing their use of ultrasound in daily practice outside of traditional critical care procedures.

If you caught my conversation with Prof. Steve Epstein from IVECCS 2024, you already know this:When it comes to septic patients, timing of antibiotics is everything. Ok, maybe not EVERYTHING, because in our follow-up discussion 1 year later at IVECCS 25, Prof Steve explored an idea that might just shift your ICU protocols: duration of administration matters. That's the idea behind the concept is prolonged infusion - giving time-dependent antibiotics over extended periods for more sustained bacterial kill time. (Spoiler alert: it works. BUT...with a few caveats.)Jump in to this one for a straight-forward data backed action you can take with your critical patients that will save more lives.Topics We Unpacked:Time-dependent vs. concentration-dependent antibioticsProlonged infusion vs. continuous rate infusion (CRI)Human evidence: findings from the BLING III trialApplicability of human data to veterinary patientsDosing challenges and pharmacokinetics in septic animalsPractical recommendations for veterinary ICU settings⁠Click here⁠⁠⁠ to access all of our clinical content at IVECCS special rates.

En este episodio exploramos a fondo el mutismo acinético, una de las manifestaciones más desconcertantes tras un daño cerebral grave. Hablamos de su base neurofisiológica, su relación con el sistema dopaminérgico y los circuitos prefronto-subcorticales, y cómo se diferencia clínicamente de otros estados de conciencia alterada. Recorremos también las opciones terapéuticas más prometedoras, desde la estimulación multisensorial y la verticalización robótica hasta técnicas de neuromodulación como la estimulación cerebral profunda, la estimulación medular o la tDCS. Un episodio técnico, narrativo y lleno de preguntas clínicas clave, pensado para quienes trabajan día a día con pacientes que aún no responden... pero que podrían hacerlo.

On this week's Listener Series, we are doing a special re-release. We are sharing Julia's story again and tune in next week to hear from her L&D nurse, Katlynn. This is such a special duo - honoring both the patient and the provider in a traumatic experience.A little bit about Julia's story - Julia was induced at 38 weeks due to gestational hypertension. A routine delivery turned terrifying, when Julia suddenly became unresponsive. What followed was a litany of complications landing Julia and her baby in the ICU and NICU, and still to this day with an uncertain diagnosis. She shares with us the process of bringing home a NICU baby after a significant trauma and what her healing journey has been like.On this episode, you will hear:- labor complications and emergency response- NICU experience and family dynamics- second opinions and diagnosis- navigating an ICU experience- bonding journey after ICU and NICU experience- the stress of bringing home a NICU baby- finding healing and community supportYou can find and follow Julia on Instagram: @julia.omickFor more birth trauma content and a community full of love and support, head to my Instagram at @thebirthtrauma_mama.Learn more about the support and services I offer through The Birth Trauma Mama Therapy & Support Services.Disclaimer - The views and opinions expressed by guests on The Birth Trauma Mama Podcast are their own and do not necessarily reflect the official stance, views, or positions of The Birth Trauma Mama Podcast.

In this week's episode, Brain & Life Podcast co-host Dr. Katy Peters is joined by Kristin Flanary, AKA Lady Glaucomflecken. Kristin has advanced training in both cognitive neuroscience and social psychology and now is active on social media, podcasts, and comedy shows with her husband, Dr. Glaucomflecken. Kristin shares her unique perspective on the healthcare system, having been a patient, a caregiver, and a co-survivor of her husband's medical challenges, including his two cancer occurrences and a sudden cardiac arrest that led to a stay in the Neurological Intensive Care Unit. Dr. Peters is then joined by Dr. Jessica McFarlin, is an associate professor of neurology at the University of Kentucky Department of Neurology and Chief of the Division of Palliative Care who is trained in both neurocritical care medicine and palliative care medicine. Dr. McFarlin explains how Neurological Intensive Care Units provide life-saving care for patients with severe neurologic injuries, such as strokes and brain trauma. Come back next week for part two to hear more about the term “co-survivor” and the importance of thoughtful doctor/patient communication.   Additional Resources Lady Glaucomflecken What is the Difference Between Coma, Minimally Conscious State, Persistent Vegetative State, and Brain Death?

In this 2-segment episode, Brett, Phil and Martin firstly mull over a nurse-led, bottom up (pun intended) quality improvement project that aimed to reduce CAUTI in a neonatal ICU in Georgia, USA. Having discussed how great it is to see this type of work written up, Martin then spoke to Katie Cabral the lead author for more insights and to find out if the innovation has been sustained.   Cabral K, Anderson V, Allen I, Hoskins D, Byers K, Gettis M.

Do you have a family member/loved one srtuggling with addiction? https://www.realrecoverytalk.com/frc In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, we sit down with Mattie Johnson, a firefighter who was told he would never ride a fire truck again. Why? Because alcohol nearly killed him. For years, Mattie lived fast — drinking hard, partying, and pushing his limits while working in the fire service. He ignored repeated warnings from doctors: “If you don't stop drinking, you're going to die.” The wake-up calls came in the form of multiple ICU visits, coughing up blood, and finally stage 4 liver failure. At one point, Maddie accepted that he would drink himself to death. But then, against all odds, he received a life-saving liver transplant, and chose recovery. This is a raw, unfiltered story of:

When your job is literally life and death, how do you explain what that feels like to patients, to families, to anyone outside the ICU? This week on Knock Knock Hi, Kristin and I talk with Dr. Lakshman Swamy, a critical care and pulmonary doc who decided the answer might be… a board game. We get into burnout, the broken systems of ICU care, and how a game called helps players understand the impossible choices clinicians face every day. Also: moral injury, insurance nightmares, what it's like to feel powerless as a physician, and why play might be one of the best tools for healing we've got. Takeaways: Hear how Dr. Swamy turned years of ICU trauma into a brutally honest board game. Explore the emotional toll of moral injury—and why it's reshaping the physician burnout conversation. Learn how Cost of Life recreates the pressure, compromise, and heartbreak of critical care. Why healthcare reform might start with storytelling—and maybe even game night. Discover what surprised Dr. Swamy most when he watched players take on the role of ICU doctor. — Want more Dr. Lakshman Swamy?

An intensive care physician who has spent 20 years watching preventable diseases destroy lives shares the brutal reality of what metabolic dysfunction looks like in the ICU - and the simple steps that could keep you out of his unit entirely.Dr. Kwadwo Carmen-Tang pulls no punches as he describes the devastating cycle he witnesses daily: patients arriving with obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, then leaving weaker, traumatized, and fundamentally changed by their ICU experience. But here's what medical school never taught him - these conditions are often completely reversible.In this raw conversation, Dr. K breaks down the single most powerful intervention that could transform your metabolic health, explains why hospital food is finally changing, and shares his frustration with a healthcare system that treats symptoms instead of root causes. From his work implementing real food initiatives in Canadian hospitals to his grassroots approach to changing medicine from within, this ICU veteran is fighting to make prevention the priority it should have always been.Whether you're a healthcare provider looking for practical tools or someone who wants to take control of their health trajectory, this episode delivers actionable strategies that could literally save your life. The movement toward metabolic health is real, and Dr. K is proving that change is possible - one protein-focused meal at a time.BIG IDEA"If we could avoid even half a percent, 2% of ICU admissions through metabolic health, man that's putting a dent in so many people's lives."Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng Contact InfoWebsite: https://drkwadwo.ca/Book: Prevention over Prescription: https://drkwadwo.ca/books/Podcast: https://drkwadwo.ca/prevention-over-prescription-podcast/Gyata Nutrition: https://gyatanutrition.com/Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

Essential listening for anyone ready to stop playing it safe and start leading with courage. What happens when a respected ICU doctor realizes that staying silent about what he's witnessing costs more than speaking up? Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng shares his powerful transformation from following medical protocols to courageously advocating for prevention-based healthcare—even when it meant facing threats, professional backlash, and personal PTSD. In this raw conversation, Dr. Kyeremanteng reveals how the COVID crisis became his catalyst for speaking truth about metabolic health, the devastating impact of lockdowns, and why the healthcare system desperately needs root-cause healing. He opens up about the price of courage to teaching his three sons that adversity is okay when you're fighting for what's right. If you've ever felt the tension between staying safe in your profession and speaking your truth, this episode offers a powerful framework for leading fearlessly when the stakes are highest.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Incubator Podcast, Dr. Guilherme Sant'Anna, Professor of Pediatrics at McGill University, joins Ben and Daphna to discuss his team's work on implementing an early bubble CPAP protocol in the delivery room. Although CPAP has long been considered standard practice for preterm infants, Dr. Sant'Anna explains why intubation rates remain high in the most immature babies and how his group sought to change this pattern.The conversation reviews the background of the protocol, which began at McGill in 2014, and the cultural shift required to adopt bubble CPAP as the default approach. Dr. Sant'Anna describes the importance of multidisciplinary training, technical details such as proper prong sizing, fixation, humidification, and suctioning, as well as the challenges of sustaining practice change over a decade.The results of this initiative are striking: lower rates of delivery room intubation, reduced severe BPD, and improvements in outcomes particularly for infants born before 28 weeks. Dr. Sant'Anna also reflects on lessons learned, the global implications of bubble CPAP in resource-limited settings, and the importance of sharing knowledge to improve care everywhere.This episode highlights how attention to detail, persistence, and team culture can transform neonatal respiratory care.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

I cannot imagine a world where Scott McCaughey is not writing. But first, some background. He was an auxiliary member of R.E.M. from 1994 to 2011, working with them in the studio and playing with them live. He founded The Baseball Project and The Minus Five, among other bands, both with members of R.E.M. He also founded The Young Fresh Fellows. McCaughey doesn't feel pressure to create every day because he's already doing it. It's a daily part of his routine. Many songwriters book studio time, then write the songs. McCaughey is the opposite: he books the studio time then "grabs songs off the shelf." Was there a hardest song to write on the new album? Nope. "It was my most effortless record," he said. McCaughey suffered a stroke in 2017 and lost all verbal ability for time, but after three days in the ICU he began writing songs. The latest album by The Minus Five is called Oar On, Penelope! on Yep Roc Records.

They argue about stoves, confess about breeding kinks, roast Ron DeSantis' gay boots, and imagine dying together in an ICU bed. Along the way: Molly gets railed on a park bench, someone admits to jerking off 4 times a day as a teen, and the phrase “double-stuffed slut” is born. By the end, they're reclaiming faggot, dreaming of pirate life, and plotting online jerk-off therapy sessions.

Mike Tyson is famous for saying, “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the nose.” When suffering punches us in the nose, our plans - and clichés - don't hold. In this episode of Truth Talk Live, I explore why “drive-by ministry” fails and why true comfort begins with seeing people in their pain—just as Christ sees us. You'll hear: My reflections from the ICU after Gracie's 98th surgery. The danger of empty phrases like “God has a plan” or “just trust Jesus.” A listener in tears, struggling to accept God's forgiveness. A reminder from Scripture: not why, but who. Gracie also sings Breathe on Me, Breath of God a cappella—an anchor of hope in moments when words fail. If you've ever wondered what to say (or not say) when someone is in trauma, this episode points to solid ground in Christ.   ORDER THE NEW BOOK …TODAY!

For most modern believers, miracles feel like stories locked in the pages of scripture. Science explains almost everything today, and medicine is the first place we turn when sickness strikes.  What if some healings can't be explained by scans, surgeries, or prescriptions?  What if, in an age of data and diagnostics, God is still doing what only He can do, restoring, reversing, and renewing in ways science cannot? That's exactly what this episode of Time to Transform explores. From asthma disappearing overnight, to infertility reversed against all medical odds, to a stroke reversed after an hour of unconsciousness, these aren't vague testimonies. These are healings measured, documented, and confirmed, living reminders that God's power is not confined to ancient times. My guests are women who straddle both worlds: faith and medicine. Susan, a church leader who once lived with chronic asthma and infertility, shares multiple decades-long healings that even doctors admitted defied explanation. Janet is a nurse who doubted miracles after watching her brother live with cerebral palsy. She tells the story of her own medically verified healing when a fibroid disappeared, proof that God's hand still moves, even when doubt clouds belief. In this episode, we explore what happens when faith collides with science, and what it means to trust a God who is still able to do the impossible.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Asthma gone overnight without prayerful expectation Could a casual, half-hearted prayer really end decades of hospital visits, inhalers, and wheezing attacks instantly? -Infertility reversed with “zero chance” reports What happens when a couple told they had no viable sperm count ends up conceiving not once, but twice? -When prayer outruns the “golden hour” of stroke treatment How does a man collapse with textbook stroke symptoms, miss the critical 60-minute window for treatment, and still walk away without a trace of damage? -Healing in the face of hereditary disease Why did a nurse, genetically predisposed to gynecological illness, see her fibroid vanish on scans without surgery or medication? -From doubt to undeniableHow did years of watching her brother live with cerebral palsy convince Janet that healing wasn't real? What finally shattered her unbelief when she experienced a miracle herself? Guest Bio Susan Toor is a committed church leader whose life was deeply shaped by the burden of chronic asthma and persistent infertility. Despite years of medical care, neither condition abated, until a seemingly casual prayer brought both breathing and conception. Today, Susan serves as a bridge between spirituality and science, offering medically documented stories of sustained healing that defy medical explanation and invite a reconsideration of what faith and divine intervention can look like in our modern world. Janet Joseph Selvanathan is a Malaysian Wound and Stoma Care Nurse with over 15 years of experience in critical care, wound management, and patient education. She began her career as an ICU nurse in Malaysia before moving to Abu Dhabi in 2015, where she has since served at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi. Over the past decade, she has become a trusted specialist in advanced wound therapies, stoma care, and pressure injury prevention, while leading hospital-wide audits and quality improvement initiatives. Beyond her professional achievements, Janet is a born-again Christian whose faith drives her passion for spirit-led healthcare transformation. Actively serving in her local church as part of the welcome team, she brings warmth, encouragement, and compassion both inside and outside the hospital. She believes in combining clinical excellence with dignity and hope-bringing healing that touches both body and soul.     About Your Host Hosted by Dr. Deepa Grandon, MD, MBA, a triple board-certified physician with over 23 years of experience working as a Physician Consultant for influential organizations worldwide.

In this episode, I sit down with Tiffanie, a mother of two from Mt Isa, who shares her raw and powerful birth stories—two very different journeys that shaped her into the woman and mother she is today.Tiffanie's first pregnancy was planned as a freebirth, but at 38+4 weeks she developed preeclampsia so severe she was losing her vision for up to ten minutes just from standing up. When she presented at the hospital, doctors told her she was on the edge of eclampsia—her liver and kidneys were shutting down—and a caesarean was her safest option. What followed was an incredibly tough start to motherhood, with Tiffanie sent to ICU and separated from her newborn for 30 hours due to a covid patient being in ICU at the same time.Her second pregnancy, however, was completely different. Choosing a wild pregnancy with just one ultrasound at 21 weeks, Tiffanie leaned into her intuition, knowledge, and body wisdom. Determined not to repeat her first experience, she focused on prevention and balance:Following the Brewer's Diet with an emergency protocolUsing Celtic salt shots and water to regulate her blood pressureStaying strong and active with F45 training throughout pregnancyAt 42+3 weeks, Tiffanie went into spontaneous labour and birthed her baby at home in a beautiful freebirth. Her baby was born sunny side up, and with the loving support of her husband and sister-in-law Sarah by her side, Tiffanie welcomed her baby into the world on her own terms.This episode is a powerful reminder of the strength it takes to reclaim trust in your body after trauma, and the importance of preparation, nutrition, and support when navigating birth after preeclampsia.Enjoy this podcast episode!More from Ashley:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The VBAC Village⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Insta: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ashleylwinning⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.ashleywinning.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ VBAC Homebirth Support ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Group here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Love the podcast? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy me a⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ coffeeDisclaimer: The VBAC Homebirth Stories Podcast is for educational and inspirational purposes only.

When a child faces a life threatening illness or injury, we often assume that they have "recovered" when they leave the ICU, the hospital or graduate from follow up. For many kids and families, however, the traumatic stress of an ICU stay or a life threatening illness or injury lingers, with families often searching for help and answers in how to best support their child. Joining us on this episode is Jen Aspengren, founder and CEO of Alongside Network, an organization that works directly with families to validate, connect and support them as they adjust to life after the hospital.View the transcript here:https://www.childrensmn.org/for-health-professionals/talking-pediatrics-podcast/talking-pediatrics-after-the-picu-understanding-post-icu-trauma-in-kids-8-22-25/

As he finished his medical school exam, David Fajgenbaum felt off.  He walked down to the ER and checked himself in.  Soon he was in the ICU with multiple organ failure.  The only drug for his condition didn't work. He had months to live, if that.  If he was going to survive, he was going to have to find his own cure. Miraculously, he pulled it off in the nick of time. From that ordeal, he realized that our system of discovering and approving drugs is far from perfect, and that he might be able to use AI to find dozens, hundreds, even thousands of cures, hidden in plain sight, for as-yet untreatable diseases. EPISODE CREDITS:Reported by - Latif NasserProduced by - Maria Paz Gutiérrezwith mixing help from - Jeremy S.

There is no replacing Matt Serra. But when the champ can't make the show, it's never a bad idea to get another champ to fill in — and that's exactly what today's Unfiltered episode delivers with Forrest Griffin talking UFC 319 w/ guest callers Geoff Neal and Chase Hooper. First up, 11th-ranked welterweight Geoff Neal reflects on his inspiring journey from a life-threatening ICU stay in 2020 to competing at the highest level in the UFC. He breaks down his upcoming matchup with Carlos Prates and weighs in on whether “MMA math” applies when comparing each of their recent losses to Ian Machado Garry. Then, Chase Hooper — just 25 years old and already entering his 12th UFC fight — talks about taking on Alexander Hernandez, a dangerous striker with only one submission loss in 24 pro bouts. Usually on dad duty 50+ weeks a year, Chase shares how his locked-in fight-week mentality has brought out his best performances since moving up to 155 pounds. Having seen many of UFC 319's fighters up close in his role at the UFC Performance Institute, Forrest offers sharp analysis for a comprehensive breakdown of the sneaky-good matchups that round out Saturday's stacked card.
