Podcasts about ICU

In this powerful and unfiltered conversation, Light Watkins sits down with holistic health coach, author, and one-percenter Nate Ortiz. Nate's life began in crisis—born with heroin in his system and abandoned in the ICU. What followed was years of instability: foster homes, abuse, addiction in the family, and the trauma of watching loved ones go to prison. But instead of letting that define him, Nate transformed pain into purpose.In this episode, Nate shares how he found his way out of survival mode by pursuing an unlikely dream—earning a full scholarship to the #1 basketball high school in the country—and how he turned that momentum into a life of service, coaching elite clients like Lin-Manuel Miranda and Cordae. He breaks down what's really happening in your body when you're stuck in fight-or-flight and why survival mode makes it almost impossible to think clearly or pursue your goals.Through grounded, relatable language, Nate reveals his original frameworks—the Stopwatch Method, Dream Team Jersey, and the One Percenter mindset—that helped him heal trauma, build discipline, and show up consistently for his purpose. Whether you're burned out, stuck, or just trying to level up, this episode is packed with raw truth and practical tools to help you reclaim your power and rewrite your story.Send us a text message.

It was not exactly a relaxing Memorial Day weekend for many in downtown Los Angeles.  A rowdy crowd took to the streets spraying graffiti on businesses and anything in their path, including a commuter train terrifying everyone on board. As Lisa Guerrero reports, considering the mayhem and all the police officers on hand, many are wondering why there were no arrests. And there's a new crypto crime wave happening across the country, with thieves targeting unsuspecting victims to get their Bitcoin passwords - gaining instant access to their fortunes.  In New York City, the suspect didn't even have time to put clothes on before being arrested. He was barefoot and in his bathrobe when he was charged with kidnapping and torturing a business partner, allegedly to get his Bitcoin password. As Ann Mercogliano reports, cops say he didn't act alone.  Plus, a little girl ended up in the ICU after being attacked by a rattlesnake. She was with her mom in the backyard when the snake lunged, biting her on the foot, twice! She needed 20 vials of anti-venom to recover. Alison Hall spoke with her now-very relieved mom.  And three more of those ten inmates who escaped from a New Orleans jail were recaptured over the weekend - leaving just two still on the run. On the heels of that jail break, another inmate has escaped...this time, it's a former police chief serving time for rape and murder who slipped out of an Arkansas prison, by dressing up in a makeshift police officer uniform. As Steven Fabian reports, with two separate jail breaks in just days, many are asking- how secure are our jails?

Send us a textIn this week's Journal Club, Ben and Daphna unpack a wide range of recent neonatal studies with pragmatic, practice-centered discussion. First, they explore a study on low-dose dexamethasone for BPD in preterm infants, showing potential benefits in brain development and motor outcomes—despite ongoing concerns about long-term effects. Next, they discuss a large dataset analysis of oxygen and respiratory support trajectories in extremely preterm infants, offering real-world FiO2 trends and benchmarks that may help frame clinical decisions and counseling.They also examine the diagnostic limits of consumer-grade pulse oximeters, like the Owlet, comparing their accuracy to hospital-grade monitors—raising real concerns about missed events. A safe sleep initiative study offers evidence that modeling and education during birth hospitalization can improve post-discharge sleep practices, especially across different demographic groups. Finally, they review parent engagement with NICU-focused online health communities, identifying both the benefits and potential friction these platforms create in team-family communication.From cerebral oxygenation during kangaroo care to the use of enemas in ELBW infants, this episode covers it all—with a focus on what clinicians can take back to the bedside.Listen in and join the conversation.  As always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

It's hump day and as it so happens technical hiccup day. But don't worry, we got some scotch tape and paperclips and have McGyvered this thing for now. Republicans in Congress are doing what they can to push their massive tax cut through reconciliation, and you'll never get who's gonna benefit from that (it's rich people). To make it happen, Republicans are now trying to sneak in cuts to Medicare. We talk first to Singrid Steinmetz, an ICU nurse and a member of the California Nurses Association, which represents nearly 2,200 at Long Beach Medical Center who will be striking tomorrow. Here's the contact info for LBMC in case you want to tell management there to support it's nurses: https://www.memorialcare.org/locations/long-beach-medical-center After that, we hear from The Guardian U.S. investigative reporter George Joseph about his stunning new piece out today about how United Health Care has secretly paid nursing homes that helped it gain Medicare enrollees and reduced hospitalizations: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/21/unitedhealth-nursing-homes-payments-hospital-transfers  In the Fun Half, Emma, Sam and Matt respond to Skelator look-alike Rick Scott trying to make the case for making cuts to Medicaid by arguing that if you want health care in America you should have to work for it. Steve Scalise is singing the same tune. Bernie went on Andrew Schulz's show and managed to get him and his bros to acknowledge the problem of inequality and the absurdity of being the only industrialized country in the world without guaranteed health care. Also, Andrew Cuomo talks to Bari Weiss about what's ailing Democratic-run cities and states (hint, he blames the left) and he seems to be pushing an Abundance™ style agenda.

Five years ago this month, I died. I mean, not for long—but long enough. In this episode, I talk about it. The cardiac arrest. The four-year curse. The memory gaps. The part where Kristen saved my life on a mattress, then got told I was “end of life” and left in a hospital hallway with no cell service. I don't usually get into this on the podcast, but it's time. I also talk about what it's like to return to clinic too soon, what empathy fatigue feels like when it hits you mid-exam, and why Australia's healthcare system makes me want to scream and cry and hug a Medicare card. Oh, and yes, I checked—I did not get a single ophthalmology consult while hospitalized. Rude. Takeaways: I Gave the Saddest Talk in Australia—and They Thanked Me for It. Nothing like telling an entire country of surgeons: "Whatever the U.S. does, do the opposite." We've Got Trauma. We've Got Memory Loss. We've Got... Thai Food? My hippocampus was out to lunch, but at least I wasn't. Shoutout to solo dinners in Sydney. Cardiac Arrest Might've Been the Easy Part. Kristen had to do chest compressions. Then fight a hospital. Then explain to our kids why Dad was suddenly gone. Empathy Fatigue is Real. And It's Ugly. I went back to work too soon. And I knew it the moment I got irrationally annoyed by dry eye complaints.

The ICU Liberation Campaign from the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) has transformed critical care, but the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent staffing challenges have posed major obstacles to maintaining progress. In this episode of the SCCM Podcast, host Ludwig H. Lin, MD, speaks with Juliana Barr, MD, FCCM, a key architect of the ICU Liberation Campaign. Dr. Barr was a lead author of the 2013 “Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Pain, Agitation, and Delirium in Adult Patients in the Intensive Care Unit,” known as the PAD guidelines, an original cornerstone of the ICU Liberation Campaign (Barr J, et al. Crit Care Med. 2013;41:263-306). The guidelines' recent 2025 update also addressed immobility and sleep disruption (Lewis K, et al. Crit Care Med. 2025;53:e711-e727). Dr. Barr shares her personal journey from traditional ICU practices of heavy sedation and immobility to leading efforts that prioritize patient recovery, well-being, and post-ICU quality of life. She emphasizes how ICU Liberation reintroduced low-tech, high-impact interventions such as minimizing sedation, promoting early mobility, and engaging families—leading to better outcomes at lower costs. She cites the 2017 international survey by Morandi et al that demonstrated uneven but steady improvements in global ICU Liberation practices before the pandemic (Morandi A, et al. Crit Care Med. 2017;45:e1111-e1122). Dr. Barr details the need for reeducation, multidisciplinary team engagement, and reworking electronic health record (EHR) systems to better support ICU Liberation goals. Looking forward, Dr. Barr offers a "burning platform" approach, stressing that delaying ICU Liberation practices risks poorer patient outcomes. She advocates for cultural change, leadership engagement, real-time metrics visibility, and hospital-wide investment—including IT support to surface buried ICU Liberation Bundle data within EHRs. By reframing ICU Liberation as a "team sport" and making best practices part of daily ICU culture, Dr. Barr believes institutions can reestablish the bundle's momentum and reconnect healthcare teams to their core mission—helping patients return to meaningful lives after critical illness. This conversation offers energizing, practical strategies for ICU teams at every stage of ICU Liberation implementation or reinvigoration.

In this re-release, Kayleigh revisits one of the most listened-to solo episodes of The Birth Trauma Mama Podcast: a personal and validating exploration of what it means to struggle with bonding after a traumatic birth.We're often told that the “golden hour” will be the most magical moment of our lives, that love will overflow the second our baby is placed on our chest. But for many trauma survivors, that moment never comes. Instead, we're left navigating guilt, shame, and confusion about why bonding didn't look the way we were told it would.Drawing from her own experience waking up in the ICU days after birth, Kayleigh speaks honestly about what it's like to feel disconnected from your baby, how grief and trauma interrupt bonding, and why delayed connection doesn't make you a bad parent.In this episode, you'll hear:

Scott Tavlin is a motivational speaker, mindset coach, radio host, and emcee with a powerful message and a story rooted in real loss. His energy is contagious, his presence commanding — but behind the microphone is a son who lost his mother far too soon. Scott's mother battled significant health challenges for years, including a critical ICU hospitalization in 2018 that nearly took her life. Miraculously, she recovered — and the version of her that emerged became one of Scott's greatest inspirations. When she eventually passed, it wasn't without warning — but it still left a hole that changed everything.In this episode, Scott opens up about the complexity of watching a parent fight for their life, the guilt and confusion that came with not knowing how bad things were early on, and the intense desire to honor her by living fully. He shares how he turned to running, coaching, and speaking as emotional outlets — and how the lessons his mom lived by have become the fuel behind his dreams. From marathon training to morning radio, Scott walks us through the way grief shaped every step of his path.This conversation is about identity, legacy, and the power of intentional living. It's about the memory of a mother who poured everything into her family — and a son determined to carry her light forward. If you've ever found yourself growing through grief, this one will stay with you.FOLLOW SCOTT!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scotttavlin/Listen to Scotty in the Mornings!Magic 94.9: https://www.mymagic949.com/GIVE THE SHOW A 5-STAR RATING ON APPLE PODCASTS!

Send us a textIn this special anniversary edition of the Journal Club, Ben and Daphna celebrate four years of The Incubator Podcast while diving into a compelling lineup of neonatal studies. The episode kicks off with a review of a phase 2 multicenter trial on the safety of furosemide in preterm infants at risk for BPD. Despite widespread Lasix use in NICUs, data on dosing and safety have been lacking—this study finds no significant increase in serious adverse events but emphasizes the need for larger trials to better define its role. The team then explores a study from India comparing 7- vs. 14-day antibiotic courses in culture-proven neonatal sepsis, showing that shorter courses may be safe and effective in select populations.Additional discussions include a randomized trial from Australia evaluating “sigh breaths” during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation and their effects on lung volume and oxygenation, a study examining how kangaroo mother care boosts breast milk intake, and a large Japanese cohort study detailing neurodevelopmental outcomes of infants born at 22–31 weeks. Finally, a meta-analysis on prenatal cannabis exposure underscores risks of low birth weight and preterm birth. With depth, humor, and clarity, Ben and Daphna guide listeners through evidence that shapes neonatal care.

Send us a textThis week on Tech Tuesday, we sit down with Dr. Theodor Uzamere, a graduating neonatology fellow from Texas Children's Hospital, to explore an inspiring project that brings creativity and compassion to the NICU bedside. Theodor introduces us to the Consult Cards — a thoughtful, low-tech innovation designed to support families navigating the overwhelming world of neonatal intensive care.Rooted in his love for consults and desire to improve communication during high-stress conversations, Theodor created a deck of color-coded, parent-friendly flashcards that cover essential NICU topics: diseases, respiratory support, nutrition, imaging, and vocabulary. Drawing from his own study strategies and guided by feedback from NICU family focus groups, these cards aim to reduce anxiety, improve understanding, and foster meaningful engagement between families and the medical team.We discuss the process of developing, evaluating, and iterating on the cards, and how Theodor hopes to expand their reach. More than just an educational tool, the Consult Cards empower families to participate actively in their baby's care. If you're passionate about patient-centered communication and innovation in neonatology, this conversation will move and motivate you. For collaboration opportunities, Theodor's contact details are: theodoruzamere@gmail.com As always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Severe trauma is the leading cause of death worldwide for adults younger than 50 years of age. Acute traumatic life support (ATLS) guidelines endorse early and aggressive usage of supplemental oxygen in patients with severe trauma, at least until abnormalities of airway or breathing can be safely ruled out. However, unclear target concentration, duration or saturation goals often leads to hyperoxemia. Emerging studies in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting suggest that liberal supplemental oxygen therapy and hyperoxemia is associated with increased mortality. Limited evidence in the trauma population suggests similar outcomes.

Send us a textMeet Sheena Johnson, a remarkable Jamaican-born woman residing just outside London, where she serves as an ICU nurse practitioner with the UK's National Health Service. Her journey took a profound turn during the peak of Covid when she faced the heartbreaking loss of her father while caring for some of the sickest patients. This loss plunged her into intense grief, prompting her to reflect deeply on her life. In a moment of stillness, she confronted difficult questions: What is happening to me? What are these emotions? Where is this overwhelming exhaustion coming from? Through her exploration of various podcasts and reading material, Sheena discovered the root of her struggles: burnout. Taking a typical nurse's approach, she looked around at her colleagues and noticed many shared similar feelings of anxiety, stress, demotivation, and sleep deprivation. Realizing that she was not alone, Sheena decided to take action. She pursued training to become an accredited transformational coach for nurses and allied healthcare professionals, dedicating herself to helping others overcome burnout. Sheena empowers them to create a lifestyle filled with balance, joy, and vitality so that they can show up authentically in both their personal and professional lives. If you're a nurse feeling overwhelmed, there's hope. Sheena is here to help you bounce out of burnout and reclaim your well-being. In the five-minute snippet: Is that squid giggling?
