    An Interview with Dr Will Davies; We discuss an interesting case of exertional heat stroke.

  15. Resuscitative Sequence Intubation

    Beware the 4 main areas that can result in cardiac arrest peri-intubation. Hypotension Positive pressure ventilation secondary to intubation, increases intrathoracic pressure which increases right atrial pressure resulting in decreased pressure differential and less blood coming back into the...

  16. Airway Pearls for Intubating the Obese Patient.

    AIRWAY PEARLS Consider every case a difficult Intubation due to effects on anatomy and physiology Normal airway techniques may not be effective. Positioning of the patient is critical- aim for head up. Pre-oxygenation techniques are crucial Appropriate medication dosing is important Video...

  17. ICU will not take the patient

    An 88 yo patient who is fully independent, is brought into ED by ambulance in Cardiogenic Shock. The only past history the patient has is hypertension and hypercholesterolaemia. Earlier that morning the patient developed central chest pain and felt dizzy. When the ambulance arrived the patient…

  18. Cases in Sock: Choosing Inotropes and Vasopressors

    Cases in Shock: Choosing Inotropes and Vasopressors How do we choose the right pressor in shock? Below is a brief discussion of pressors and their properties as well as 4 cases, where we choose the pressor to use, with reasoning. If I were to use one general guide, it is, that unless we need to...

  19. Status Epilepticus

  21. Guillain Barre Syndrome

    This is a low frequency High stakes Disease we cannot miss.

  22. Atrial Flutter with a High degree Block

    A patient presents feeling dizzy when standing. His ECG shows he is in Atrial Flutter with a variable block. The block is significant. In some places it is 8:1. His blood pressure is 130 mmHg systolic. He is normally on Diltiazem. What should we do?

  23. Oxygen Targets in Post Cardiac Arrest Patients with ROSC

    We look at the unknown variables of ventilation and oxygenation both during cardiac arrest and post ROSC. We mention the EXACT Trial and the BOX Trial.

  24. Pericarditis

    Pericarditis requires 2 of 4 criteria to make the diagnosis. It can however be difficult to do so, because criteria such as a pericardial rub are difficult to hear, the ECG changes may not be present and the chest pain may not be as typical as we think. In this episode, we look at a patient with…

  25. A Case of Electrical VT Storm

    Electrical Storm can be difficult to manage. Repeated episodes of Ventricular tachycardia, with haemodynamic compromise, that do not respond to defibrillation and potentially to medication, are a significant challenge. We discuss a recent case of just this scenario and it was approached as well…

  26. Hypertensive Emergencies

    Is there such an entity as a Hypertensive Urgency? Probably not. Hypertensive Emergencies are a Clinical Diagnosis as they involve end-organ damage. Apart from Aortic Dissection and preeclampsia, we shouldn't decrease systolic Blood pressure by more than 20-25% in the first hour. What STEMI, or...

  27. Episode 11: Do steroids decrease mortality in severe community acquired pneumonia

    Here is a controversial paper with mortality findings very different to what has been published before. The Community-Acquired Pneumonia: Evaluation of Corticosteroids (CAPE COD) Trial, was a double-blind, randomised, controlled, superiority trial, conducted in 31 French ICUs. Intravenous...

  28. Episode 10: Does using a small volume BVM affect ROSC?

    Airway in Cardiac Arrest is still a bit of a mystery. We don't really know if we should intubate early. Contrary to prior studies showing no benefit of intubation over BVM or SGA, new evidence may be pointing in a different direction. We don't know the correct rate of breaths or volume of breaths...

  29. Cases in Shock: Choosing Inotropes and vasopressors.

    How do you approach the patient in shock? Septic shock, Cardiogenic Shock, shock due to a massive pulmonary embolism? There is no perfect drug, however Noradrenaline may be as perfect as it gets.

  30. Episode 2: Shocking the Patient in Asystole

    The patient in asystole during cardiac arrest, has a very poor prognosis. But is it really asystole? Is there benefit in giving one shock to the patient? Surely we need to look at all the leads and increase the amplitude, to see of this is low amplitude VF. Even if we find low amplitude VF, will…

  31. Episode 1: Spontaneous Coronary Artery Disease

    SCAD is a separation of layers of the coronary artery wall, resulting in intramural haemorrhage and haematoma formation. Coronary insufficiency results due to the narrowing of the coronary artery lumen, from an expanding intramural hameatoma. SCAD may or may not involve an intimal layer tear.…
