Welcome to "Last Week Now," the newsletter summarizing the education covered last week from CriticalCareNow and the world of FOAMed.
Last week we reviewed ultrasound for subclavian lines, whole blood in trauma, and a brand new podcast!.
The time to review is here, let's get ready to see what happened Last Week, NOW!
Have you ever tried to place a subclavian central line with ultrasound? But wait, you can't place a subclavian line with ultrasound, right? The clavicle gets in the way, there's too much lung, and you've always been told it can't be done.
This is WRONG! You can and SHOULD place central lines in the subclavian vein. Watch this YouTube video to learn how. Watch the video here.
We are launching a brand new, FOAMed podcast. The ResusX:Podcast will feature the best lectures from prior ResusX conferences. Dr. Scott Weinngart kicks off our inaugural podcast case discussing arterial lines in cardiac arrest. Are you placing these? Do you know how to do this in an arrest? Do you know how to interpret the waveform? All these questions and more are answered in this podcast.
If you manage patients in cardiac arrest, this is a must-listen straight from the author himself. Here's the link. And if you prefer to watch the video, we got you covered, here's the video link.
In this episode, Dr. Dennis Kim dives deep into the topic of whole blood transfusions in trauma patients. He begins by discussing the history of blood transfusions in trauma and how they have evolved over time to include the use of whole blood. Dr. Kim talks about the benefits of using whole blood instead of component therapy, such as being able to give the patient a balanced and full set of blood components.
Dr. Kim also talks about the practical side of using whole blood, such as how to get it and give it to someone in a trauma situation. He discusses the results of recent studies that have shown the benefits of whole blood transfusions in trauma patients, including improved survival rates and a reduced need for additional transfusions.
Throughout the episode, Dr. Kim shares his own experiences and insights as a trauma surgeon, providing listeners with valuable perspectives on the use of whole blood in trauma care. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in improving outcomes for trauma patients through the use of whole blood transfusions. The Resusation Podcast is FREE for All-Access Members.
