Podcasts about Intensivist

In this episode, we are joined by Dr Ina Schmidt, Consultant Anaesthetist, Intensivist, Flight Physician, and President of ICARUS e.V., to examine what truly changes when critical care leaves the ground. Drawing on extensive experience at the intersection of intensive care and aviation medicine, Dr Schmidt discusses why aeromedical medicine should be regarded as a distinct speciality rather than simply “EMS in the sky.”Together, we explore the unique physiological and operational challenges of patient care at altitude, from hypobaric hypoxia and environmental stressors to the complexities of monitoring critically ill patients in confined, high-noise environments. We also examine the future of in-flight critical care, including the broader evolution toward continuous, wireless, non-invasive haemodynamic monitoring and how emerging technologies may reshape the delivery of intensive care in the air.ICARUS (International Community for Aeromedical Research and Universal Standards) is an international professional association dedicated to advancing aeromedical transport medicine through research, education, quality improvement, and the development of evidence-based standards. Based in Germany, the organisation brings together clinicians, researchers, educators, and industry leaders to improve patient safety and outcomes during air medical transport. ICARUS promotes a patient-centred approach to critical care transport and retrieval medicine, supports collaborative research and audits, develops educational programmes and certifications, and advocates for the recognition of aeromedical transport medicine as a specialised medical discipline. Through its global network, webinars, conferences, committees, and academic partnerships, ICARUS aims to establish universal standards that enhance the quality and safety of aeromedical operations worldwide.

Continuous trending helps reduce those “blind spots,” enabling earlier identification of haemodynamic decline and better prioritisation when systems are under pressure.And in pre-hospital care, the value is in maintaining a clear physiological narrative from first patient contact through to hospital handover. VitalStream is designed for rapid deployment, applied, calibrated, and delivers data within around 90 seconds, using a low-pressure finger sensor that allows teams to follow trends in real time, rather than relying on isolated snapshots.For more information, visit: https://www.bha-medical.com/vitalstream-patient-monitoring

In this episode of PICU Doc on Call, Dr. Monica Gray and Dr. Pradip Kamat chat about flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FFB) in the pediatric ICU. They walk through a case involving an eight-year-old who's dealing with respiratory failure after a stem cell transplant. Along the way, they talk about when and why you might use bronchoscopy both for diagnosis and treatment—plus how to approach sedation and what effects the procedure can have on the heart and lungs. They also dive into important topics like managing hypoxia, handling increased airway and pulmonary vascular resistance, and what to keep in mind if your patient has a traumatic brain injury. The episode wraps up with tips for managing fever after the procedure and a quick look at how rigid bronchoscopy compares.Show Highlights:Use of flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FFB) in the pediatric ICU (PICU)Indications for performing bronchoscopy (diagnostic and therapeutic)Management of sedation and analgesia during bronchoscopyCardiovascular effects associated with bronchoscopy proceduresRespiratory effects and complications during bronchoscopySpecial considerations for bronchoscopy in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI)Post-procedure complications, including fever and its managementOverview of rigid bronchoscopy and its indicationsImportance of understanding physiological changes during bronchoscopyEducational focus on acute pediatric care for current and aspiring PICU internsReferences:Reference 1: Sachdev A, Chhawchharia R.

If you're a physician and you've ever found yourself wondering, "Is it just me, or is something off?"—this conversation is for you. In this deeply reflective episode of Life Changing Moments, host Dr. Dael Waxman is joined by his colleague at MD Coaches, Dr. Carla Rotering—a pulmonologist, intensivist, former medical staff president, writer, poet, and musician with over 20 years of coaching experience. Together, they explore what lies beneath the familiar but often inadequate word "burnout." Carla shares her own powerful journey through depletion—including the moment she threatened God with a lawsuit for breach of contract—and how small, intentional shifts helped her reclaim her sense of self. They discuss the hidden costs of overgiving, the identity crisis that keeps physicians stuck, and the transformative power of curiosity, agency, and asking for what you need. This episode is not about quick fixes. It's an invitation to understand what may be happening beneath the surface and to begin considering what small shifts might open the door to more meaning, engagement, and gratification in your work. Key Topics Discussed: Why the word "burnout" underestimates the experience and can even be a turnoff for physicians. The subtle, slow erosion of self that happens as physicians adapt to the "machinery of medicine." How depletion manifests: cynicism, loss of caring, numbing behaviors, and distance from relationships. The cultural reinforcers that reward overgiving and make being "busy and tired" a badge of honor. What physicians may be protecting by staying in painful situations (identity, shame, fear of failure). The liberating realization: "I could quit" and "I am here by choice." Small, daily practices that can shift experience, including taking two breaths before entering a patient's room. Asking nurses to ask, "What color are your patient's eyes?" as a practice of connection. Practical exercises for listeners: "What expands me / what contracts me" and "What moments today did I feel most like myself?" The powerful shift from "I'm the only one who can" to "I work among people I can trust." The role of coaching: creating a container for discovery, asking powerful questions, and helping physicians reclaim agency.

Afl. 219: Neuroloog- en preventie intensivist - Marcel AriesMorgen is de landelijke Dag van de Fietshelm en helemaal in het teken hiervan hebben wij een extra aflevering voor jullie! Samen met Dr. Aries gaan wij het gesprek aan over neurotrauma op de IC én het belang van de fietshelm. Bovendien is Dr. Aries als eerste arts in Nederland benoemd tot preventie-intensivist, wat dat precies inhoudt hoor je in de aflevering! Ook te horen in deze aflevering:

Today is World Autism Awareness Day, and here's a reality that's hard to ignore. In South Africa, it's estimated that 1 in every 100 children is on the autism spectrum, yet thousands remain undiagnosed, unsupported, and misunderstood. Autism isn't always visible. It doesn't always “look” the way people expect. For some families, it's navigating sensory overload in public spaces, for others, it's fighting to be heard in a system that doesn't always understand their child. And for many, it's the daily emotional weight of advocating for a world that can sometimes feel isolating. This year's global theme, "Autism and Humanity, Every Life Has Value". This theme emphasises the dignity, inherent worth, and equal rights of all autistic people, calling for increased inclusion and neurodiversity acceptance in health, education, and workplace settings worldwide. Because behind every diagnosis is a child who experiences the world differently, and a parent or caregiver doing everything they can to understand, protect, and empower them. And if you're listening right now and this is your reality, you are seen. Your journey matters. Paediatric Intensivist, Dr Sibekezelo Hlophe, helped us unpack how behavioural therapies like Applied Behaviour Analysis actually work and why they can be so effective, and also offered practical advice to parents and caregivers on raising children with autism, from building independence to supporting emotional well-being.

In this episode of the MtoM Podcast #262, we explore how a pediatric intensivist became a millionaire and share actionable lessons for other doctors looking to build wealth. From career choices and saving strategies to the mindset shifts required for financial success, this episode provides a practical roadmap for physicians at any stage of their career. We cover the pediatric intensivist's personal journey from residency to millionaire status, including the key habits, investment strategies, and financial decisions that made it possible. You'll learn how automation, disciplined saving, and smart financial planning can compound into life-changing results over time. We also include a Financial Boot Camp segment on Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) plans, explaining how doctors can manage student loans effectively and avoid common pitfalls. Whether you're early in your career, mid-career, or considering how to optimize your repayment strategy, this portion is packed with practical guidance. If you're a doctor, dentist, or other high-income professional looking for real-world financial strategies and inspiration, this episode shows how it's done—step by step. One of the most underrated financial moves in medicine is working locum tenens. It pays significantly more on average, and you can work locums full time or on the side of your full time. When you work with CompHealth, the #1 staffing agency, they cover your housing and travel costs —which on top of higher pay, really adds up. Locums also gives you more control of your career, allowing you to go where you want, when you want, with a schedule that works for you. It's the perfect way to get ahead financially while getting focused on what you love.  Whether it's locum tenens or a regular permanent position, visit https://whitecoatinvestor.com/CompHealth and build your career your way with the power of CompHealth.

After nearly a decade in medicine, Dr. Benson realized she was caught in an endless cycle of chasing approval and achievement—from being first in her medical school class to earning "best fellow" honors at Cleveland Clinic. She shares her four-year journey to break free from perfectionism and fear of rejection, which began with exploring creative pursuits while still practicing and culminated in paying off $250,000 in medical school debt before giving six months' notice to her practice. Dr. Benson discusses her post-medicine path, including becoming a professional artist with a unique beeswax technique, learning to play cello, embarking on an eight-month RV journey across America, and eventually settling in Floyd, Virginia to pursue homesteading. She also explains how her coaching practice evolved from project management to helping clients overcome "barrier beliefs," culminating in her "Brave is Beautiful Circle" program designed specifically for women physicians seeking authenticity and creativity.

Let's talk about the crashing intubated patient. What's your strategy? What if the nearest ICU requires transport? EM/intensivist Andrew Phillips gives EMRA*Cast host Kyle Duke some high-yield tips that you'll want to hear, too.

Cerebral ultrasound is a developing point-of-care tool for intensivists and emergency physicians, with an important role in diagnosing acute intracranial pathology. The use of transcranial Doppler has expanded over the last years, opening a new window to the assessment of cerebral anatomy not only in neurocritical patients but also in general ICU and emergency room patients. To discuss the use of cerebral ultrasound for young intensivists we have interviewed Dr. Bertuetti. Listen to the interview in the following podcast.

Sepsis occurs when the body's immune system responds to an infection and injures its own tissues and organs. It is a medical emergency, requiring early detection and treatment as it can lead to septic shock, multi-organ failure, and death. One in five deaths worldwide is associated with sepsis and 40% of cases are in children under five years of age. Sepsis is the number one cause of death in hospitals, the number one cause of hospital readmissions, and the number one healthcare cost. Laboratory testing is essential in helping prevent, detect, and treat sepsis to minimize injury to the body and the risk of death.   About Our Speaker:  Dr. Lui Forni is a Professor and Consultant Nephrologist and Intensivist at Royal Surrey County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in Guildford, England. Professor Forni earned a PhD in physical chemistry and subsequently studied medicine, specializing in nephrology and intensive care medicine. His research interests include pre-operative assessment of high-risk surgical candidates, renal replacement therapy, diagnosis, pathophysiology and treatment of acute kidney injury, and predictive modeling in acute medical admissions. He lectures both nationally and internationally and has published widely.  He served as the Past Research Chair and is the Current Secretary of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine.

As nurses, our lives will always be busy, but that doesn't mean we can't update you guys on what's happening with us. Speaking of updates, Peter is still a nurse in California, and I finally picked up a shift here in Illinois through an agency. It feels a little weird to get back on the job, not going to lie. But it's all good, and I am stoked to be back on board! For my first shift, I was assigned to the ICU. After two months of not working, the patient was in V-tach when I received the report. I also noticed that this hospital I'm currently assigned to doesn't have a supply room. Instead, they had open spaces down the center of the unit where you could grab your supplies. On top of that, charting was slightly different here as they use Cerner for documentation. Another thing I noticed during my shift was the communication. It was frustrating to go back and forth on the procedures that needed to be done for my patient. My patient was very sick. He came in with sepsis. had a CVA and was rule out for endocarditis. We can't do a TEE either, but after a while, he converted and went back to V-tach, so we needed to troubleshoot him. I talked to a cardiologist who ordered to cardiovert the patient and start lidocaine. But when I told Intensivist what the order was, he told me he doesn't do cardioversion and walked away. As nurses, we are always the "middle man" for everything, but if you are unsure what to do, it always helps to address the situation and see what is best for the patient.

Welcome to Leading the Rounds. Questions We Asked: How did you become involved in medical leadership? How did you adjust to becoming a leader out of training? What are some things that help you lead in stressful situations? Can you discuss your article Ten Leadership Principles from the Military Applied to Critical Care and why you felt writing it was important? What is unique about leadership in the Intensive Care Unit? How do you develop a good care team? How do you balance being firm in a stressful leadership moment vs. being aggressive and condescending? How do you practice adaptive leadership? Advice for medical leaders? Books? Quotes & Ideas: When taking a new leadership position, “recognize that you're going to feel overwhelmed, and then sit back, learn, and ask questions.” In moments of panic, “put your helmet on, put your kevlar on, and march in a straight line.” You can study leadership, but you also need to practice. Look for everyday small moments where you can practice your leadership skills so they are ready when you need them. “Every day there's an opportunity to practice a leadership technique in your personal or work life.” Ten Leadership Principles from the Military Applied to Critical CareLeadership in the ICU: contrasts between problem solving without assessment of why things are happening vs. paralysis by analysis To be a great leader in the ICU, you have to be able to make decisions without having all of the information. “The success of the team means the success of the patient.” In addition to placing yourself in stressful situations, you can rehearse in your mind what you would do if you would have been placed into that environment. “As you are in a position to set boundaries to which work is not allowed, you have to set them.” Book Suggestions: Complications by Atul Gawande We Were Soldiers Once and Young by Lt. Gen. Harold G. Moore and Joseph L. GallowayThe Liberation Trilogy by Rick Atkinson
