The Internet Book of Critical Care Podcast
Adam Thomas & Josh Farkas
Brought to you by a partnership that transcends the 49th parallel. Join Adam Thomas and Josh Farkas in the podcast that accompanies The Internet Book of Critical Care.
The IBCC podcast will explore key points in each chapter. Initially the release of podcasts may lag a bit behind the chapters for logistic reasons. However, our goal is to eventually have a podcast for each chapter. Subsequently, the podcast will discuss updates to the IBCC based on new evidence.

IBCC Episode 1 - DKA
In this episode, we cover the anatomy of a DKA resuscitation. Check the post out for some juicy pearls. As always, the pitfalls: Missing an underlying cause of DKA, especially sepsis. The primary cause of death among patients admitted with DKA isn't the DKA itself, but rather associated conditions (mostly sepsis). Bolusing large volumes of normal saline will make the patient more acidotic. This is generally not a major problem, but it can be for the patient who starts out severely acidotic at baseline.
