| 26 Aug 2022 | Milrinone vs. Dobutamine in Cardiogenic Shock: Which is Better? | 00:08:57 | |
Should we use milrinone or dobutamine in patients in cardiogenic shock? NEJM published data providing us with the answer. In this episode, we explore the topic of cardiogenic shock and the use of two common medications, milrinone and dobutamine, in treating it. We examine the mechanisms of action, potential side effects, and clinical outcomes associated with each drug to determine which may be the better option for patients.

| 08 Sep 2020 | Fix the Magnesium Deficiency Before the Potassium Deficiency! | 00:11:28 | |
When patients have hypokalemia, you want to fix it. So you give potassium to make the numbers pretty. You go ahead and give some potassium and do what the protocol says to do: recheck. Labs come back, poor patient got stuck for these labs. Potassium burned a bit on the way in because the IV was acting funny. Low and behold, the potassium did not go up. What just happened? Where did it go? Did you check the magnesium level? Probably not. In this episode, we discuss the importance of correcting magnesium deficiencies in critically ill patients before correcting potassium deficiencies. Magnesium plays a crucial role in regulating potassium levels in the body. We review the physiological mechanisms behind this relationship and explore the clinical implications of magnesium deficiencies in critically ill patients. Join us as we dive into the often-overlooked role of magnesium in critical care medicine.

| 22 Oct 2021 | End-Expiratory Occlusion to Determine Fluid/Volume Responsiveness | 00:12:29 | |
There are various means that we can use to determine fluid/volume responsiveness in our critically ill patients. These include PLR with SV changes, SVV, PPV, VTI, etc. End-expiratory occlusion testing can be performed on patients who are on mechanical ventilation. In this podcast episode, we discuss the use of end-expiratory occlusion (EEO) as a method to determine fluid and volume responsiveness in critically ill patients. We explore the physiology behind EEO and how it can be used as a non-invasive, bedside tool to guide fluid management in patients with varying degrees of fluid responsiveness. We review the current evidence supporting the use of EEO and its limitations, as well as potential future developments in this area. Tune in to learn more about this promising technique and how it can aid in optimizing fluid management in the critically ill.

Show Notes: https://eddyjoemd.com/methylene-blue-septic-shock/ Link to Lactic Acid Post: https://eddyjoemd.com/lactic-acid-sepsis/ In this episode, we discuss the use of methylene blue as a potential treatment for septic shock. We explore the science behind how methylene blue can help improve circulation and reduce inflammation in patients experiencing septic shock, and share a new study that was recently published in Critical Care. We break down the study and address common concerns and misconceptions about the use of methylene blue in this context, and discuss how we need additional research regarding its effectiveness and safety. If you're interested in learning more about cutting-edge treatments for sepsis and other critical illnesses, this episode is not to be missed.

| 30 Mar 2023 | Hydrocortisone for Severe Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) | 00:09:53 | |
Show Notes: https://eddyjoemd.com/hydrocortisone-cap/ In this episode of the podcast, I discuss a new study that found that hydrocortisone can save lives in patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). I discuss the findings and what they mean for the treatment of CAP. In addition I also discuss the risks and benefits of using hydrocortisone, and who should be considered for treatment. CAP is a common and potentially life-threatening infection of the lungs. It is caused by bacteria that are inhaled into the lungs, and it can affect people of all ages. The most common symptoms of CAP are fever, cough, shortness of breath, and chest pain. In severe cases, CAP can lead to pneumonia, sepsis, and death. The study that we discuss in this episode was a randomized controlled trial that looked at the effect of hydrocortisone on mortality in patients with severe CAP. The study found that patients who received hydrocortisone were less likely to die than those who did not receive hydrocortisone. This finding is significant because it suggests that hydrocortisone may be a life-saving treatment for patients with severe CAP. We hope that you find this episode of the podcast informative and helpful. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.

| 10 May 2021 | Cardiac Power Output (CPO) in Cardiogenic Shock | 00:14:17 | |
Cardiac power output is a calculation one should do when caring for patients with cardiogenic shock. Data has shown it to be the strongest hemodynamic correlate of mortality in cardiogenic shock. We should be using it in our practice to determine whether a patient will benefit from mechanical circulatory support (MCS). In this episode, we explore the concept of cardiac power output (CPO) as a potential tool to help guide management in patients with cardiogenic shock. We review the underlying physiology of CPO and its potential advantages over more traditional hemodynamic parameters, such as cardiac output and mean arterial pressure. We also discuss the practical aspects of measuring CPO and the potential limitations and challenges of its use in the clinical setting. Tune in to learn more about this promising new approach to managing patients in cardiogenic shock.

| 05 Dec 2021 | Bicarbonate for Respiratory Acidosis: Not So Fast | 00:20:01 | |
When a patient has an acidosis which is respiratory in nature, the right answer should not include using sodium bicarbonate. In this podcast episode, we explore the use of bicarbonate for the treatment of respiratory acidosis. While it is a commonly used therapy, recent studies have suggested that it may not be as effective as previously thought. We discuss the physiology of respiratory acidosis, the rationale for using bicarbonate, and the potential drawbacks and complications associated with its use. We also review the latest evidence and guidelines regarding bicarbonate therapy and offer practical tips for clinicians when managing patients with respiratory acidosis. Tune in to learn more about this important topic and how to optimize your treatment approach.
