PCICS Podcast The Podcast for Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care

Join hosts Chris Knoll, MD and Lillian Su, MD both of Phoenix Children's Hospital as they interview their guests, John Kheir, MD and Jim DiNardo, MD, both of Boston Children's Hospital who discuss their paper, "Administration of Milrinone Following Tetralogy of Fallot Repair Increases Postoperative Volume Administration Without Improving Cardiac Output" published in Nov 2023 in Anesthesia and Analgesia. They don't shy from controversy and discuss the risks and benefits of milrinone, particularly in RV restrictive disease such as TOF and why norepinephrine should be making a comeback into all our CVICU's! Put your thinking caps on for this one and join the debate.

Join host Lillian Su, MD (Phoenix Children's Hospital) as she interviews Christine Riley, NP, CPNP-AC, PhD (Children's National Healthcare System) about building infrastructure in teams and systems to help prevent cardiac arrest in our most fragile CVICU patients. She discusses early work in DC in the cardiac arrest prevention bundle initially designed as a post cardiopulmonary bypass bundle and how sustainable success only came when the entire team was engaged in the process, particularly the crucial role of the bedside nurse. She also discusses her PhD work on overwhelming stress states and their role in cardiac arrest.

How do we build collaborative teams? How do we motivate our team members, even those less enthusiastic about an ongoing QI project? What are ways to get and give feedback to our teams? We are joined by a panel of quality improvement experts who help us explore these questions and more. Drawing from their depth of experience in both local projects, and projects spanning across multiple centers, our panel provides invaluable insights. Join us for an enriching discussion with guests Josh Koch, MD (Phoenix Children’s Hospital / University of Arizona College of Medicine), Melissa Winder, CPNP-AC (Primary Children’s Hospital / University of Utah), and Kimberly DiMaria DNP, CPNP-AC (C.S.
