76. ICU Sustainability with Drs Stephanie Maximos and Hari Shankar
This week on Critical Care Time we take a slight departure from our usual content and turn an eye towards sustainability in the ICU. What low-hanging fruit exists in your ICU in the fight against medical waste? Why reach for a nebulizer when HFAs are so much more convenient? We had a great chat with Dr. Stephanie Maximos and Dr. Hari Shankar where we unpack this emerging concept and discuss options to take great care of your patients AND be mindful of waste and excess in your ICU! Listen, learn and let us know what you think!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

75. Airway Pressure Release Ventilation Controversies with Dr Rory Spiegel and DR Max Hockstein
On this week’s episode, Cyrus and Nick host a spirited discussion with Drs. Rory Spiegel and Max Hockstein where we debate the merits of Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV). What's the rationale for this? When is it appropriate? IS it appropriate… or is it witchcraft? Is it physiologically foolish or a perfectly logical option for hypoxemic respiratory failure? Good for all comer, good for a subset or does it belong with the vials of succinylcholine and DL blades? We may not have all the answers but on this episode we do our best to explore this ventilator mode and help you decide whether the juice is worth the squeeze! Check us out and let us know YOUR feelings while leaving us a review! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

74. Lung Transplantation with Dr Lara Jones and Dr Jason Gauthier
In this episode of Critical Care Time, we tackle one of the most complex and high-stakes corners of critical care: the lung transplant patient in the ICU. From evaluating candidates at the edge of respiratory failure to managing the crashing post-transplant patient, we break down the practical bedside decisions that matter most — including bridge strategies, hemodynamics, immunosuppression, infection, rejection, and the complications that can rapidly spiral if you miss them. Whether you work in a transplant center or occasionally inherit these patients in a general ICU, this episode is built to give you a sharper framework, clearer priorities, and more confidence when the stakes are highest. As is often the case, a heavy lift like this needs some back up and we are grateful to have Dr. Lara Jones, a transplant pulmonologist and her colleague, Dr. Jason Gauthier, a thoracic surgeon on to help us with this one!Thank you to Integration Health for sponsoring this episode.

On this week, Cyrus & Nick are joined again by intensivist extraordinaire, Dr. Adam Mora, for a long overdue episode on ICU Toxicology!

This is a bit of a longer one but it's super high-yield and very practical for anyone who is studying for their boards and/or participating in the care of the critically ill!
