Well, this show will let you see emergencies unfold through the eyes of a Rapid Response Nurse. With real life stories from the frontlines of nursing, host Sarah Lorenzini MSN, RN, CCRN, CEN, a Rapid Response Nurse and educator, shares her experiences at rapid response events and breaks down the pathophysiology, pharmacology, and the important role the nurse plays during emergencies. If you want to sharpen your assessment skills and learn how to think like a Rapid Response Nurse, then Sarah is here to share stories, tips, tricks, and mindsets that will prepare you to approach any emergency. Every episode is packed full of exactly what you need to know to handle whatever crisis that could arise on your shift. It’s one thing to get the right answer on the test, but knowing how to detect when YOUR patient is declining and what to do when YOUR patient is crashing is what will make or break your day… and might just save your patient’s life.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-19T22:19:22.292365+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/rapid-response-rn-1369016"},"episode":{"title":"157: Cracking the ARDS Code: A Deep Dive on ARDS Vent Management Strategies With Melody Bishop RT","slug":"157-cracking-the-ards-code-a-deep-dive-on-ards-vent-management-strategies-with-melody-bishop-rt","published_at":"2026-02-28T12:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/rapid-response-rn-1369016/157-cracking-the-ards-code-a-deep-dive-on-ards-vent-management-strategies-with-melody-bishop-rt","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/rapid-response-rn-1369016","url":"https://healthpodcastnetwork.com/show/rapid-response-rn/","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/episodes.captivate.fm/episode/6e8362ff-de4f-42c4-b2e5-39dc66e494f0.mp3","summary":"ARDS is one of the more complex syndromes we manage in critical care. More than just pulmonary edema, we are battling stiff lungs, refractory hypoxemia, rising pressures, and frequently making decisions that can either protect the lung or make things worse. In this episode, I’m joined by respiratory therapist Melody Bishop for a deep dive into ARDS ventilator management through the lens of physiology, evidence, and real bedside practice. We break down what’s actually happening in the lung , why some long-held practices have fallen out of favor, and how nurses and RTs can work together to make more precise, lung-protective decisions. If ARDS has ever felt like guesswork, this episode will help it make sense. Topics discussed in this episode: What ARDS looks like at the alveolar level and why surfactant loss changes everything How inflammation leads to stiff lungs, poor compliance, and refractory hypoxemia Why lung-protective ventilation is about avoiding harm , not chasing perfect numbers Moving beyond tidal volume: how driving pressure reframes vent management How RTs use compliance trends to judge whether lungs are improving or failing PEEP selection: why tables are a guide, not the final answer The physiology behind proning and why it’s one of the few ARDS interventions that saves lives Why recruitment maneuvers fell out of favor (and what works instead) What nurses should be watching on the ventilator to catch deterioration early Connect with Melody and download her free book: https://melodybishoprt.com/ Mentioned in this episode: Rapid Response Academy Winter 2026 Cohort https://www.rapidresponseandrescue.com/rra CONNECT 📸 Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therapidresponsern/ 📚 Check out my course: https://www.rapidresponseandrescue.com/learnmore 🧑‍💻C…","meta_description":"ARDS is one of the more complex syndromes we manage in critical care.
