エピソード
  • Ep 113- "ICU Perspectives: Understanding the Heart-Kidney Link"
    2024/11/04
    In this podcast episode, we’ll explore acute cardiorenal syndrome, specifically type 1, where worsening kidney function stems directly from acute heart failure. We’ll unpack the complex pathophysiology of CRS type 1, diving into both hemodynamic factors, like renal venous congestion, and non-hemodynamic factors, such as the activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and inflammatory pathways. Next, we’ll discuss the diagnostic tools that help identify CRS type 1, from lab markers and imaging techniques to invasive hemodynamic monitoring. Finally, we’ll cover preventative and treatment strategies, including diuretics, RAAS inhibitors, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i), renal replacement therapy, and additional therapies like hypertonic saline, chloride-based treatments, and device-based interventions.

  • "ICU Insights: Managing Neutropenic Fever in High-Risk Cancer Patients"
    2024/11/04
    In this episode, we'll dive into neutropenic fever, a potentially life-threatening condition common among cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Neutropenic fever arises from a drastic drop in neutrophils, a type of white blood cell essential for fighting infection. We'll explore the root causes and epidemiology of this condition, looking at why it's so prevalent in immunocompromised patients. Understanding neutropenic fever requires insight into its pathophysiology and clinical features, especially given the complexities that can lead to neutropenic sepsis—a severe and fast-developing form of infection. We'll also discuss how multidrug-resistant organisms are making management even more challenging and why their emergence demands heightened vigilance. Early recognition is crucial here; we'll explain the key steps in diagnosing neutropenic fever and why prompt antibiotic administration is essential to reduce mortality risk. Alongside antibiotics, supportive care measures play a significant role in patient outcomes, helping stabilize and protect those most vulnerable. Join us to gain a comprehensive understanding of neutropenic fever and the best practices for managing this high-risk condition.
