In-Flight Medical Emergencies

#criticalCare #leadership #aviation

Over 2 billion people travel by commercial

aircraft every year. When they become
unexpectedly sick, it is essential to understand
what to do in the austere aerospace medical
environment. This OnePager covers the
ethics/legality of volunteering, the physiology
of the aerospace environment, the resources
available (crew, equipment, ground
communications) as well as an overview of
common medical emergencies seen among
passengers on commercial flights.

Care of the person in the criminal legal system

#criticalCare #Leadership

People in the custody of law enforcement

deserve respectful & ethical care, particularly
during critical illness. Critical care providers
should be aware of their patients right and
the law. This ICU OnePager discusses
important topics including Privacy (disclosing
information in front of LEO can violate HIPAA),
Restraints (restraints can cause injury and
you can request removal), Surrogate
decision makers (patients have a right to
choose surrogates), Testing, Visitation rights,
and Compassionate Release.

important topic.

Impella

#criticalCare #ICUEquipment #hemodynamics

Impellas are temporary percutaneous

cardiac devices assist used for
hemodynamic support in patients with severe
heart failure. This OnePager explains the
function & physiology of LVADs as well as the
settings and potential complications.
Understanding how to interpret the
placement signals is essential.

#criticalCare #Resuscitation #Leadership

Cardiac arrests can be chaotic. Leading

resuscitation is a complex skill, involving both
a mastery of the knowledge & a structured
approach to lead a team. This ICU OnePager
presents a framework for clinicians to use:
how to assign roles & crucial tasks physically
in the room and how to structure events
temporally
temporally. The goal is a smooth team
based resuscitation.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)

#pulmonary #rheumatology #criticalCare

#hematology

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is

a hyperinflammatory syndrome due to
aberrant activation of macrophages. It can
be challenging to diagnose & often leads to
critical illness with multiple organ system
failure. This ICU OnePager reviews the etiology,
diagnostic criteria, and treatment approach
to this complex illness.

Approach to Undifferentiated Shock

#criticalCare #shock #hemodynamics #POCUS

Rapidly determining the etiology of shock is a

core ICU skill, requiring integration of
physiology, history, exam, and POCUS. This ICU
OnePager provides a framework for thinking
about shock that you can use to categorize it.

Cardiac Arrest on Mechanical Circulatory

Support

#criticalCare #Resuscitation #ICUEquipment

Patients undergoing mechanical

circulatory support (MCS
MCS) are at high risk
for cardiac arrest due to their the underlying
illness. But when these patients experience
cardiac arrest, resuscitation protocols need
be modified to reflect device & clinical
context
context. This ICUOnePager describes how to
adjust resuscitation in the presence of ECMO,
IABP, Impella, or LVAD and what to do in the
perioperative setting.

Acid Base Made Easy

#criticalCare #pulmonary #acidBase #ABG

#VBG

Acid base abnormalities are ubiquitous in the

ICU, and sometimes multiple can coexist at
the same time. This OnePager outlines a
stepwise approach and differential
diagnosis for each acid base abnormality
(RAGES for NAGMA, GOLDMARKeT for AGMA,
BLVD PLACE for metabolic acidosis, etc). It
also includes those handy formulas & rules
so you can figure out if more than acid-base
disturbance is present.
