WhiteBoard Medicine - Emergency And Critical Care

Understanding oxygen content is essential to interpreting pulse oximetry, arterial blood gases, and tissue oxygen delivery. In this video, we walk step-by-step through capillary gas exchange, oxygen content, hemoglobin physiology, and the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve, tying physiology directly to clinical practice. 📚 MINI COURSES, STUDY GUIDES, PRACTICE QUESTIONS, AD FREE VIDEOS, EDUCATIONAL DISCUSSIONS in our WBM Emergency Critical Care Patreon Community - Join Today!! https://www.patreon.com/c/WhiteBoardMedicine DISCLAIMER THIS PODCAST DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE.

Mechanical ventilation doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. In this episode, we break down mechanical ventilation from the big-picture perspective, focusing on how all the pieces fit together rather than memorizing isolated settings. We cover the core concepts that actually matter at the bedside, including: • How mechanical ventilation works • Common ventilator modes (AC, PC, APRV, pressure support) • FiO₂, PEEP, and oxygenation strategies • Lung-protective ventilation • Basic ventilator waveforms • Patient–ventilator interaction • Weaning and liberation principles • Common mistakes and misconceptions 📚 DOWNLOAD MINI COURSES, STUDY GUIDES, PRACTICE QUESTIONS, AD FREE VIDEOS, EDUCATIONAL DISCUSSIONS in our WBM Emergency Critical Care Patreon Community - Join Today!! https://www.patreon.com/c/WhiteBoardMedicine DISCLAIMER THIS PODCAST DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE.

Heart failure and cardiogenic shock exist on the same disease spectrum, yet they’re often taught separately. In this episode, we bring them together into a single, cohesive framework that explains how heart failure progresses to cardiogenic shock — and how to manage both at the bedside. Topics covered include: • Heart failure pathophysiology (HFrEF vs HFpEF) • Preload, afterload, contractility, and cardiac output • Compensated vs decompensated heart failure • Acute decompensated heart failure • Cardiogenic shock physiology • Clinical findings and hemodynamics • Diagnostic approach (exam, labs, echo, ultrasound) • Management principles and common pitfalls 📚 MINI COURSES, STUDY GUIDES (for this video), PRACTICE QUESTIONS, AD FREE VIDEOS, EDUCATIONAL DISCUSSIONS in our WBM Emergency Critical Care Patreon Community - Join Today!! https://www.patreon.com/c/WhiteBoardMedicine DISCLAIMER THIS PODCAST DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE.

Mechanical ventilation has many different modes and settings. In this video we dive into the foundational settings that everyone should know - PEEP, FiO2, Respiratory Rate, Tidal Volume, and Inspiratory Pressure. We touch on how these settings may differ between modes of ventilation, such as volume control and pressure control. We talk about normal values and ranges of values. We also discuss which settings help ventilation versus oxygenation.

Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening systemic hypersensitivity reaction that can rapidly progress to anaphylactic shock, airway compromise, and cardiovascular collapse. Early recognition and treatment are essential to prevent mortality. In this episode, we provide a comprehensive review of anaphylaxis, beginning with epidemiology and underlying immunologic mechanisms including IgE-mediated mast cell and basophil activation. We review the pathophysiology of mediator release, vascular permeability, vasodilation, and bronchospasm that drive the clinical syndrome. We then cover classic and atypical symptoms, diagnostic considerations, and bedside evaluation strategies in emergency and critical care settings. Management is presented step-by-step, emphasizing early intramuscular epinephrine, airway protection, fluid resuscitation, adjunctive therapies, and monitoring. The second half of the episode focuses on a deep dive into anaphylactic shock, including hemodynamic profiles, refractory shock physiology, vasopressor selection, and escalation strategies for patients with persistent hypotension despite epinephrine. 📚 MINI COURSES, STUDY GUIDES (for this video), PRACTICE QUESTIONS, AD FREE VIDEOS, EDUCATIONAL DISCUSSIONS in our WBM Emergency Critical Care Patreon Community - Join Today!! https://www.patreon.com/c/WhiteBoardMedicine Playlist on Shock: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf5bMa9_tvRjunk4I-rQZYPZn3qHqWFqW&si=kserFPPm7RYuhul- DISCLAIMER THIS PODCAST DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE.

Hemorrhagic shock is a form of hypovolemic shock caused by acute blood loss, leading to decreased preload, reduced cardiac output, and impaired tissue perfusion. It is one of the most common and rapidly fatal shock states encountered in trauma and emergency medicine. In this episode, we break down the pathophysiology of hemorrhagic shock, classic clinical presentation, and key hemodynamic patterns. We review ATLS hemorrhage classes, laboratory and bedside clues, and the physiologic cascade that leads to the lethal triad of acidosis, hypothermia, and coagulopathy. Management concepts including early hemorrhage control, massive transfusion protocols, balanced 1:1:1 resuscitation, permissive hypotension, and the evidence behind tranexamic acid are covered using landmark trials such as CRASH-2, PROPPR, and MATTERs. 📚 MINI COURSES, STUDY GUIDES (for this video), PRACTICE QUESTIONS, AD FREE VIDEOS, EDUCATIONAL DISCUSSIONS in our WBM Emergency Critical Care Patreon Community - Join Today!! https://www.patreon.com/c/WhiteBoardMedicine Playlist on Shock: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf5bMa9_tvRjunk4I-rQZYPZn3qHqWFqW&si=kserFPPm7RYuhul- DISCLAIMER THIS PODCAST DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE.

Endocrine shock refers to life-threatening shock states caused by hormonal deficiencies or endocrine crises that impair vascular tone, cardiac output, and metabolism. Unlike other forms of shock, endocrine shock is often diagnosed only after common causes such as sepsis, cardiogenic, or hypovolemic shock have been ruled out. In this episode, we break down the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and hemodynamic patterns of the most important endocrine emergencies: adrenal crisis, myxedema coma, thyroid storm, and severe hypoglycemia. We focus on recognition of key clues such as refractory hypotension, bradycardia, hypothermia, electrolyte abnormalities, and metabolic collapse. Management principles including IV hydrocortisone for adrenal crisis, thyroid hormone replacement for myxedema coma, beta-blockade and thionamides for thyroid storm, and dextrose for hypoglycemia are reviewed alongside guideline-based recommendations.

Neurogenic shock is a form of distributive shock caused by loss of sympathetic tone after spinal cord injury, most commonly with lesions above T6. Unlike other shock states, it presents with hypotension, bradycardia, and warm, dry skin. In this episode, we break down the pathophysiology of neurogenic shock, how to distinguish it from spinal shock, classic clinical findings, and high-yield hemodynamic patterns. We also review evidence-based management including fluid strategy, vasopressor selection, bradycardia treatment, and temperature control. Guideline-based targets for spinal cord perfusion, including AANS/CNS MAP goals, are discussed along with critical trauma and ICU pearls.
