Deep dives
Pneumothorax Progression Factors
The progression of a simple pneumothorax to tension physiology is influenced by factors such as size of the pneumothorax, rate of air leak into the pleural space, presence of a one-way valve, underlying cardiac or pulmonary diseases, shifting of the mediastinum, and communication with the atmosphere.
Delirium Episode Feedback
Listeners appreciated the delirium episode, noting that it framed critical care topics well and provided valuable perspectives. The dialogue and educational approach were commended, setting a high standard for the show and recognizing the importance of team collaboration in the ICU.
Ventilation During CPR
In CPR situations, ventilating a patient with an ambu bag is favored over using a ventilator due to simplicity, better control over breath delivery, and reduction of circuit disconnection issues. However, maintaining PEEP with an ambu bag is crucial during resuscitation efforts.
Role of APPs in Critical Care
Acknowledgement of the essential role of Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) in critical care and the need to highlight their contributions on the podcast to better understand the distinct roles and interdisciplinary dynamics within the ICU team.
