  1. A randomised controlled trial of a nurse facilitator to promote communication for family members of critically ill patients

    A randomised controlled trial of a nurse facilitator to promote communication for family members of critically ill patients

    Admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) can be a challenging experience for patients and their families. Psychological burdens, including symptoms of anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress, are among the most reported during the ICU stay. A recent study has been carried out as a joint project between France and the United States in which the experts have designed an intervention to improve outcomes for patients’ families. For this intervention, they evaluated the nurse facilitator to support, model and teach communication strategies that will help in securing care aligned with patients' goals at the ICU. To learn more about this intervention, we interviewed one of the main authors, Nancy Kentish Barnes. Listen to our podcast for deeper insights into this study!

  2. European Society of Intensive Care Medicine guidelines on end of life and palliative care in the intensive care unit

    European Society of Intensive Care Medicine guidelines on end of life and palliative care in the intensive care unit

    The latest guidelines released from the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) are about end-of-life (EOL) and palliative care for critically ill adults! This comprehensive work, developed by an international, multi-disciplinary team of clinical experts, a methodologist, and patient and family representatives, is now accessible to all clinicians. We had the privilege of interviewing Prof. Kesecioglu, who led this remarkable project. Listen to this interview and explore the rationale and methodology behind the guidelines and hear the initial feedback following their release.

  3. Fluid management and mechanical ventilation strategies

    12/04/2024

    Fluid management and mechanical ventilation strategies

    Mechanical ventilation (MV) can impair gas exchange, destabilise hemodynamics, and injure endothelial cells. Intravenous (IV) fluid therapy helps to restore hemodynamics and ensure adequate distal organ perfusion. However, the interplay between restrictive and liberal fluid strategies due to the complex physiological interaction between the heart and lungs may affect ventilation and risk organ damage in critically ill patients.  Tune in to our next podcast and learn more about the fluids-MV interplay!

  4. When and how vasopressors in Sepsis?

    11/20/2024

    When and how vasopressors in Sepsis?

    The early initiation of vasopressors, ideally within the first hour of diagnosing septic shock, is emerging as a preferred strategy. This approach offers a multimodal action with potential benefits, including reduced morbidity and mortality. Prompt vasopressor therapy is crucial for effective management in septic shock patients. To dive deeper into the timing and administration of vasopressors, join us for our next podcast! Michele Chew and Mathieu Jozwiak will guide us through the essentials—don’t miss it!

  5. Respiratory support in acute exacerbation in COPD

    11/06/2024

    Respiratory support in acute exacerbation in COPD

    Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) represent sudden and severe declines in airway function and respiratory symptoms in COPD patients. The clinical presentation of AECOPD is diverse, demanding a treatment approach tailored to disease severity—beginning with antibiotic therapy and, in critical cases, advancing to mechanical ventilation for respiratory support. Tune into our next podcast to learn more!

  6. Multimodal approach to vascular failure in Sepsis

    10/30/2024

    Multimodal approach to vascular failure in Sepsis

    Septic shock triggers a dangerous drop in blood pressure and restricts blood flow to vital organs, making rapid intervention essential to prevent organ failure. This podcast will explore the power of a multimodal treatment approach—combining tailored medications, precise dosing, and supportive therapies—to amplify the body’s response to vasopressors. Don’t miss this insightful discussion!

  7. Landiolol and Organ Failure in Patients With Septic Shock: The STRESS-L Randomized Clinical Trial

    10/16/2024

    Landiolol and Organ Failure in Patients With Septic Shock: The STRESS-L Randomized Clinical Trial

    Autonomic dysfunction and tachycardia are strongly linked to poor outcomes in septic shock, contributing to high mortality rates. In the upcoming podcast, we explore whether β-blockade with landiolol for up to 14 days can reduce organ failure, as measured by the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, in critically ill patients with tachycardia and septic shock who have been on high-dose norepinephrine for over 24 hours. Dr. Tony Whitehouse, interviewed by two NEXT representatives, discusses the key findings of the STRESS-L Randomized Clinical Trial.

  8. Updates on the contemporary management of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage

    09/25/2024

    Updates on the contemporary management of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage

    Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a rare but devastating condition, marked by high global rates of fatality and long-term disability. Key factors influencing patient outcomes include early brain injury, aneurysm rebleeding, and delayed cerebral ischemia. In this podcast, Dr. Chiara Robba and Dr. Laura Galarza explore the epidemiology, treatment strategies, and the identification and management of post-aSAH complications. This exclusive discussion provides valuable insights and practical clinical guidance specifically designed for intensivists.
