Summary

In this episode of EPA Playbook, Drs. Kevin Kniery, Emma Burke, and Agnes Premkumar discuss management of critically ill surgical patients, using case-based discussions to reinforce core principles of shock, resuscitation, and ICU care. We first review the four major types of shock. We then discuss two cases centered around managing a patient in septic shock and cardiogenic shock, delving into the nuances on how management differs between the two. Additionally, we underscore a physiology-driven approach to critical care, the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration, and the need to align treatment decisions with patient goals and values. ***FREE EPA COURSE: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/epa-playbook Simply create an account on behindtheknife.org or our app and you the course will automatically show up in your Library.
