In this episode of Critical Care Time, we tackle one of the most complex and high-stakes corners of critical care: the lung transplant patient in the ICU. From evaluating candidates at the edge of respiratory failure to managing the crashing post-transplant patient, we break down the practical bedside decisions that matter most — including bridge strategies, hemodynamics, immunosuppression, infection, rejection, and the complications that can rapidly spiral if you miss them. Whether you work in a transplant center or occasionally inherit these patients in a general ICU, this episode is built to give you a sharper framework, clearer priorities, and more confidence when the stakes are highest. As is often the case, a heavy lift like this needs some back up and we are grateful to have Dr. Lara Jones, a transplant pulmonologist and her colleague, Dr. Jason Gauthier, a thoracic surgeon on to help us with this one!

On this week's episode of Critical Care Time, Cyrus & Nick go all-in on DKA and spend a little time talking about alcoholic and starvation ketosis too! In this jam-packed, clinically robust episode, the guys discuss the importance and pathophysiology of DKA before discussing all things treatment. After listening to this - and perusing the show notes - you'll be a DKA master! Check it out and let us know what you think. Special thanks to Integration Health and The Difficult Airway Course: Critical Care for supporting the production of this episode!

On this week, Cyrus & Nick are joined again by intensivist extraordinaire, Dr. Adam Mora, for a long overdue episode on ICU Toxicology! Together, the three of us embark on a case-based journey covering some of the more common ICU toxidromes as well as some of the more unusual, but can't-miss diagnoses. This is a bit of a longer one but it's super high-yield and very practical for anyone who is studying for their boards and/or participating in the care of the critically ill! Thanks to our tag-team of sponsors for this episode: The Difficult Airway Course: Critical Care and our newest sponsor, Integration Health!
