31. Last Night in the ICU

Today we have a Pulm PEEPs special episode! Dave and Kristina chat post-call about their respective nights in the ICU. Hear about clinical reasoning on the fly, some crucial learning points, insights on procedural troubleshooting, and about the value of end-of-life discussions. The post-call brain fog and jokes only add to the learning fun! References and Further Reading Stein PD, Yaekoub AY, Matta F, Kleerekoper M. Fat embolism syndrome.
