Podcasts about ICU

In the corner of the ICU, on multiple pressors, distended, oliguric, and intubated you'll find the necrotizing pancreatitis patient. Sounds intimidating, but with the persistence, patience, and the proper care these patients can make it! In this episode from the HPB team at Behind the Knife listen in as we discuss the Step-Up approach, when to surgically intervene, various approaches to pancreatic Necrosectomy, and additional aspects of the multidisciplinary care required for the successful treatment of necrotizing pancreatitis.  Hosts Anish J. Jain MD (@anishjayjain) is a current PGY3 General Surgery Resident at Stanford University and a former T32 Research Fellow at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Jon M. Harrison is a 2nd year HPB Surgery Fellow at Stanford University. He will be joining as faculty at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA at the conclusion of his fellowship in July 2024.    Learning Objectives ·      Develop an understanding of the severity of necrotizing pancreatitis and the proper indications to surgical intervene on this often-tenuous patients.  ·      Develop an understanding of the Step-Up approach and key aspects (reimaging, clinical status, physiologic status, etc.) that determine when to “step-up” treatment for patients with necrotizing pancreatitis. ·      Develop an understanding of long term sequalae and complications associated with necrotizing pancreatitis and operative management ·      Develop an understanding of multidisciplinary care and long-term follow-up necessary for adequate treatment of patients suffering from necrotizing pancreatitis.

How Much Life Insurance Do I Need? Why That's the Wrong Question If you've ever asked, “How much life insurance do I need?”—you're not alone. It's a common starting point. But in this article, Bruce and I (Rachel) want to challenge that question and offer something better. Because "need" is often based on a survival mentality—what's the bare minimum? But the real question isn't about scraping by. It's about what you want your life insurance to do—for you, for your spouse, for your children, and for future generations. https://www.youtube.com/live/xhGublGpz7w In this article, you'll learn: Why a needs-based approach might be leaving your family unprotected How to calculate a more empowering life insurance amount What insurance companies actually look for (and why you can't be "overinsured") The role of Infinite Banking in maximizing death benefit and legacy How to think long-term, strategically, and legacy-minded when it comes to life insurance How Much Life Insurance Do I Need? Why That's the Wrong QuestionWhy My Husband's First Thought Was Our Life InsuranceNeeds-Based Life Insurance Leaves You ShortThe Real Question: How Much Life Insurance Do I Want?Income Replacement + Future Value = What You're Really ProtectingDeath Benefit Grows with Infinite BankingInsurability: Use It or Lose ItCost vs. Value: What Wealthy People UnderstandBuild a Life Insurance Strategy That EmpowersLearn More in the PodcastBook A Strategy Call Why My Husband's First Thought Was Our Life Insurance Six years ago, I was in the ICU. My husband, Lucas, held our newborn baby girl as the doctors delivered updates that swung between hope and despair. One moment, it was "we stopped the bleeding," the next, "this is still serious." As he prayed through the fear and the unknown, one practical thought anchored him: We have life insurance. Not just any policy—we had as much life insurance as we could get. And in that moment, he knew he wouldn't have to make rushed decisions or shoulder financial pressure on top of emotional trauma. That policy was our safety net, our peace of mind. That's why this conversation matters. It's not just about numbers on paper. It's about preparing for the moments you hope never come—and giving your family the ability to respond from a place of strength. Needs-Based Life Insurance Leaves You Short Most people approach life insurance with a checklist: Mortgage? Check. College for kids? Check. Debts? Check. Burial expenses? Check. And that's how traditional advisors calculate the "amount you need." They total up obligations and say, “That's your number.” But this method reduces life insurance to a bill-pay strategy. It doesn't account for who you are, the value of your work, or the future your family deserves to continue building. In the Infinite Banking world, we don't view life insurance as just a financial parachute. We see it as a tool for opportunity, a storehouse of value, and a means to start your family ahead, not just keep them from falling behind. The Real Question: How Much Life Insurance Do I Want? "Need" is survival. "Want" is vision. If your life insurance policy could fund your family's future, preserve your estate, and launch the next generation into opportunity—how much would you want? Bruce and I often see families with grossly underfunded policies simply because they didn't know what was possible. Insurance companies assess what's called your human life value—a calculation of your income, age, and potential future earnings. Based on that, they allow you to apply for a corresponding death benefit. If you qualify for $4 million in coverage, it's because they believe your life's economic value warrants it. You can't be overinsured. The carriers won't let you. So the real question becomes: If they'll insure me for this amount… why wouldn't I take it? Income Replacement + Future Value = What You're Really Protecting

Send us a textIn this episode of From the Heart, Dr. Nim Goldshtrom and Dr. Adrianne Bischoff walk through a complex neonatal case involving sudden decompensation shortly after birth. With few early clues and no clear diagnosis, the team discusses how to approach circulatory shock, differentiate pulmonary hypertension from congenital heart disease, and manage critically ill neonates before imaging is available.Using this case as a reverse journal club, the hosts break down relevant literature and decision-making pathways: when to start prostaglandin, when epinephrine makes sense even without low blood pressure, and why relying only on numbers like MAP can be misleading. They also examine the role of therapeutic hypothermia in unstable infants and the potential cardiovascular consequences of cooling.Later, the conversation focuses on left ventricular dysfunction, balancing systemic and pulmonary circulation via the ductus, and using bedside markers like lactate and perfusion to guide treatment when echo isn't immediately available. The episode closes with thoughts on autoregulation, cerebral protection, and the evolving role of emerging technologies in neonatal hemodynamics.A real-world deep dive into diagnostic uncertainty, evolving physiology, and decision-making under pressure in the NICU.

We're visiting America in the ICU on her 249th birthday, hoping the old girl still has some fight left in her.A sad day as Trump's disastrous bill passes the House.  We are still fighting.  This week, we explore the dark matter of American politics - that invisible force that explains why so many voters can't see what's right in front of them. Spoiler alert: it's not really dark at all.We examine the original No Kings manifesto and ask some pointed questions about which "dark matter" has trained so many Americans not to recognize real threats.This isn't the time for half measures and tepid language. We're channeling some serious energy for what these times call for.Episode 914 recorded live from the Cornfield Resistance for the week of July 4th, 2025 - Not safe for workStay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.comWebsite: proleftpod.comSupport via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

In this episode, we're joined by Dr. James Downar, a leading Canadian voice in palliative and critical care, for a wide-ranging discussion on the emerging role of psychedelics in managing psychological and existential distress.Psychedelics have gone from fringe to forefront in recent years, and we dig into what that shift might mean for patients facing critical illness or the end of life.What psychedelics are and how they workSubstances like psilocybin, LSD, ketamine, and MDMAKey effects: altered perception, ego dissolution, and emotional insightRisks and benefits in vulnerable populationsPsychedelic-assisted therapy: structure and processThe three-phase model: preparation, the session itself, and integrationMicro dosing vs. full therapeutic sessionsWhere current evidence standsPotential applications in critical care and palliative medicineHelping patients process fear, isolation, and sufferingHow psychedelics differ from traditional symptom management tools like opioidsLimitations in advanced illness due to physiological concernsResearch and implementation challengesProblems with study design and placebo controlsThe importance of ‘set and setting'Defining success in existential or spiritual distressEthical considerations and clinical integrationBalancing innovation with compassion and cautionAvoiding reductionism: why psychedelics should complement—not replace—human careThe future role of these therapies in ICU and palliative settings

In this episode of the Saving Lives Podcast, we break down a 2025 study from Intensive Care Medicine that emulates a target trial on the use of sodium bicarbonate in ICU patients with metabolic acidosis. With over 6,000 patients across 12 Australian ICUs, the study reveals a small but significant reduction in mortality and RRT use with bicarbonate therapy.

What happens when a full-time ICU nurse, deep in burnout, poor sleep, and feeling uncomfortable in his own body… decides enough is enough? In this powerful episode of the Breakthrough Series, we sit down with Nathaniel—a DNP in progress, critical care nurse, and now fitness success story. After gaining weight during the pandemic and feeling stuck in the cycle of exhaustion, Nathaniel joined our Metabolic Burn System and committed to a new standard for his health. What followed? → 15 lbs of fat gone. → Energy rebuilt. → Chronic back pain reduced. → And a 5K finish—without training. This isn't just about weight loss. It's about learning self-leadership, building habits that stick through life transitions (including moving states and working long shifts), and breaking free from the perfectionist mindset that keeps so many nurses from ever starting. Nathaniel shares: How he overcame inconsistency and self-doubt Why 80/20 nutrition helped him stop bingeing and enjoy food again How journaling, community, and small shifts created big wins And what he'd tell any nurse stuck in the “all or nothing” mindset

I wanted to share something really personal with you—my keynote presentation from the AWHONN Convention in Orlando, FL. In this talk, I open up about two moments that completely changed my life: being banned from donating blood in nursing school for being gay, and having my first panic attack after a long shift in the ICU.These moments could've broken me. But instead, they lit a fire. One pushed me to start Banned4Life and help lift the FDA's gay blood ban. The other led me to create my Nurse Blake social media accounts as a way to share my story & overcome burnout. Life gives us moments—some beautiful, some painful, some totally unexpected. My hope is that as you listen, you'll look at your own defining moments and realize: they don't have to hold you back. You have the power to take them, shape them, and turn them into something meaningful.___________I hope to see you later this Fall during my But Did You Die? Comedy Tour! Tickets on sale now at: nurseblake.com ___________I want to shoutout AWHONN for selecting me to be their Keynote and to everyone who attended my session!

Every other week I'm republishing one of my most popular or impactful episodes and adding an update, new insight, or context that will help you benefit from it even more. This week I'm highlighting Episode 236, which highlights some key medical terms that you might not yet know. And, if you're like me, your confidence goes way up when you actually understand what people are talking about. Imagine that! When I was a student (and new nurse) I remember hearing medical terms all the time that would make me think, “I should probably know what that means, but I'm too embarrassed to ask.” And I hated how that made me feel… lost, incompetent, out of the loop, and unsure of myself. You can imagine what feeling this way did to my confidence level. Yep…pretty low sometimes. In this episode I'm diving into some common medical terms that students (and even experienced nurses) often feel a little unsure about…terms like: Sensitivity vs specificity Hypoxia vs hypoxemia Crystalloid vs colloid And let's not forget medical slang like “the gap,” “rainbows,” and “Christmas trees” After listening to this episode, you'll be absolutely fascinating at your next cocktail party and probably feel a lot more confident at the bedside, too! Full Transcript - Read the article and view references FREE CLASS - If all you've heard are nursing school horror stories, then you need this class! Join me in this on-demand session where I dispel all those nursing school myths and show you that YES...you can thrive in nursing school without it taking over your life!

Today's guest knows endurance—on the trail, in public service, and in life.Congressman Mark DeSaulnier of California has run 23 marathons, including Boston, New York, Napa, and even Paris.A former lacrosse player turned lifelong runner, Mark once pursued a sub-3-hour marathon while simultaneously trying to bench press twice his bodyweight. He came heartbreakingly close—twice clocking a 3:04—and carried that same grit with him into politics, business, and recovery from a life-threatening illness.In March 2020, Mark fell during a run in D.C. and sustained broken ribs. What followed was a terrifying cascade: a damaged spleen, undiagnosed pneumonia, organ failure, and five weeks in the ICU—four of them on a ventilator. His odds of survival? Just 10 percent; one doctor told his sons he wouldn't make it. But he beat them.Now serving in his 11th year in Congress, Rep. DeSaulnier brings that same sense of perseverance to his work on transportation, education, and mental health. He currently serves as Ranking Member of the House Ethics Committeeand is a senior member of the Education & the Workforce Committee.But this episode isn't about politics. It's about what happens when we lace up and head out the door—what running teaches us, what it heals, and how it transforms who we are.In today's conversation, Mark takes me through his running journey and pursuits, insights from his 23 marathons, running a 3:04 marathon back in the day, becoming known as the “running politician,” how he used to train back in the day, and how running saved his life - literally. Tap into the Representative Mark DeSaulnier Special.  If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it. Comment the word “PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!S H O W  N O T E S-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-BUY MERCH BEFORE IT'S GONE: https://shop.therunningeffect.run-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffz

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Chris Dandoy, Associate Professor of Clinical Pediatrics and bone marrow transplant physician at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Dr. Dandoy shares his deep experience working with adolescents and young adults (AYAs), focusing on the unique challenges they face during and after cancer treatment. Our conversation centers around empowering AYAs to take ownership of their healthcare journey, improving outcomes, and restoring quality of life.Dr. Dandoy introduces us to Engraft, a collaborative learning network he founded, which unites providers, patients, families, industry partners, and nonprofits to improve survival and quality of life post-stem cell transplant. Rather than each center working in isolation, Engraft allows for real-time communication and problem-solving across 15 centers, helping everyone learn from each other's best practices.A core message in our conversation is the importance of ownership—encouraging AYAs to ask questions, understand their medications, and advocate for themselves. We explore the concept of “ownership” through examples, like advocating for the removal of central lines after they're no longer medically necessary, and understanding the role and risks of medications such as immunosuppressants and anti-infectives.Dr. Dandoy walks us through strategies to support medication adherence, such as using reminder apps, setting daily routines, and involving friends or caregivers for support. He also emphasizes the temporary nature of this intense medication schedule, helping patients see it as a phase, not a life sentence.We highlight how important it is for AYAs to stay engaged—learning about their labs, asking what new medications are for, and writing down questions for their healthcare team. Chris stresses that they don't have to memorize everything; the goal is communication and awareness, not perfection.For caregivers, Chris offers validation and encouragement, reminding them this is a marathon with tough stretches, but also moments of progress. He urges caregivers to walk beside their loved ones—not behind or in front—fostering independence and shared decision-making.Dr. Dandoy closes with an inspiring story of a young survivor who endured ICU-level complications but is now back to running races and embracing life fully. It's a powerful reminder that while the transplant journey is grueling, it's also transformative.More:Engraft Learning Network: https://www.engraftlearningnetwork.org/Thanks to our Season 17 Sponsors:Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS): https://lls.org/and Incyte: https://incyte.com/ National Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKFollow the nbmtLINK on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/nbmtlink/The nbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.To participate in the GVHD Mosaic, click here: https://amp.livemosaics.com/gvhd

Given her vast array of expertise, Gabby Windey takes her guests on a deep dive into the topics today's audiences care about: dating (duh), sexuality (hell yes), health & mental health (ugh so important) plus a healthy dose of pop culture shit talk.Each episode, Gabby will be interviewing guests with the ultimate goal to break down walls and get beyond the typical interview questions— “So tell us about yourself” doesn't actually tell us anything about who the person really is- does it?! Instead, she skips the surface and plunges right into the core. Drawing from her experience as an ICU nurse, NFL cheerleader, and being The Bachelorette- Gabby is able to bring a unique perspective to each conversation. With discussions covering serious and relatable topics but approached from relatability and heart (along with Gabby's wicked sense of humor— of course).See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of The Birth Trauma Mama Podcast, I'm joined by Francine and Matt for an emotional retelling of their son's birth, a story that began with a calm, well-planned birth center experience and ended in a series of life-threatening emergencies, including a transfer to the hospital, an emergency C-section, a postpartum hemorrhage, and an amniotic fluid embolism (AFE).With honesty, heartbreak, and even humor, Francine and Matt walk us through their experience of navigating a medical system that left them unsupported, uninformed, and at times, in the dark. Francine shares what it was like to lose nine days of memory after nearly dying in the ICU, and Matt shares what it felt like to be the sole caregiver to their newborn while fearing he might lose his wife.This conversation is an important reminder of how critical communication and advocacy are and how families carry these experiences long after leaving the hospital.What You'll Hear in This Episode:

Let's talk about something I see all the time in future Flight Nurses & Medics... You're "actioning" your way toward Flight — racking up certs, bouncing between ER and ICU, checking all the boxes. But you're still not moving forward. Why? Because deep down, you still don't feel ready. And here's the truth: you never will. Not until you learn to bring the fear, the self-doubt, and the nervousness with you — and go anyway. In this week's episode, I break down:✅ Why external validation (like new certs) won't get you hired✅ How to start building confidence now instead of waiting for it to magically show up✅ The exact mindset shifts that helped dozens of Flight Prep Academy members get hired✅ How to stop spinning in confusion and finally step into your Flight identity 

In this episode, Drs. Vivian Bishay, Wissam Jaber and Dr. Vlad Lakhter review safety, patient selection, and risk stratification related to device selection.

Discussion ensues on the role of treatment location, ease of use, and how broader access to technology may influence care delivery.

Send us a textIn this week's Journal Club, Ben and Daphna dive into the latest report from the American Academy of Pediatrics on the management of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm infants. They dissect the nuances of prophylactic versus selective treatment, review recent meta-analyses, and explore why early intervention might not yield better outcomes despite effective PDA closure. They also break down new echocardiographic criteria for diagnosing a hemodynamically significant PDA and discuss the role of transcatheter procedures.The conversation then shifts to MRI timing and classification in neonatal encephalopathy, highlighting recent Canadian consensus recommendations for standardizing imaging protocols post-therapeutic hypothermia. The episode wraps up with a look at the TOHOP trial on permissive hypotension, challenging long-standing blood pressure treatment thresholds in preterm infants.Listeners will gain a pragmatic view of evolving clinical practices and research gaps in neonatal care, particularly for infants with PDA and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. If you're looking to stay current on evidence-based recommendations without the fluff, this episode is for you.
