Loved seeing a CPR training booth at the airport! ♥️ But I couldn’t tell if the lady was happy or sad when I said I was already certified. 🤷‍♂️

It’s been a while since I gave a THIRTEEN WEEKS update, but here it is! Filming wrapped in May, and we’re currently deep in post-production (editing, sound design, etc.), working hard on bringing our MEDICAL ROM-COM FEATURE FILM to life!

We hope to have most of post-production completed early next year, with plans to begin submitting to film festivals around that time. From there, we’ll start planning a premiere and hopefully some screenings around the country!

We all know how to manage atrial fibrillation right? We know RATE control is preferred over RHYTHM, a LENIENT heart rate goal is preferred over STRICT, & DOACs are preferred over WARFARIN. But do you know HOW we know these things? Let’s talk about 3 landmark trials for AFib in 2 minutes!

*Addendum for clarification: Current guidelines emphasize shared decision-making when deciding on a rate vs rhythm. Rate control remains an appropriate strategy for permanent AFib, while early rhythm control can reduce adverse CV outcomes particularly in patients with recently diagnosed AFib. 🙏

How many inhalers are there for asthma and COPD? I’m an ICU pharmacist and let’s see if we can name all the major inhalers in 60 seconds! Note that this video does not cover nebulized solution products only inhaler products. #pharmacy #medicine #nursing #asthma #COPD

ICU delirium is very common but often overlooked. It can lead to major harm in our patients and we should do everything we can to prevent it. While I normally keep my videos pretty tight at ~60 seconds, I wanted to make sure I hit all the main highlights, so this time you get double the time!

This is my approach to vasopressors in septic shock in 60 seconds! While general guideline recommendations are useful and followed by most clinicians in most cases, there are opportunities to individualize pressor selection in some patients, especially once you get to that 3rd pressor (or beyond)!

Let’s review three landmark trials on vitamin C for the treatment of sepsis! Marik et al. (2017) PMID: 27940189 VITAMINS (2020) PMID: 31950979 LOVIT (2022) PMID: 35704292

There have been several studies of various designs on this topic but these three trials give you a good understanding of where we are now on this debate! #pharmacy #medicine #nursing #criticalcare #sepsis

Why do so many medication names start with “levo” and “dextro”?? I’m an ICU pharmacist and let’s talk about this naming convention for 60 seconds! #medsky #pharmsky

Probably the most common question I get asked online is some form of, “what do I have to do to become an ICU pharmacist?” Truly, there’s no single or required path, but I did my best to break down the main things to consider when choosing a profession and specialty that’s right for you!

Additional things to note: QT interval varies with heart rate (HR). A QT interval can be used if the HR is <60 bpm; when the HR is >60 bpm, a QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) is used.

The more QT prolonging medications a patient receives (and the more risk factors they have, like hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, or bradycardia) the greater the risk of Torsade de pointes. So be careful of concomitant QT prolonging medications from administration!
