    57. Venous Congestion, Volume Tolerance and Bedside Assessments
    Sep 8 2025
    What is the microcirculation? How are terms like volume-status and fluid-responsiveness misleading? Join us as we sit down with Dr. Ross Prager to unpack and de-mystify the concepts of congestion and volume tolerance along with our survey of the tools of the trade as it relates to these terms. On this Critical Care Time episode we really get into the weeds on this stuff and even get theoretical at some points so it's NOT for the faint of heart! However, if you listen to us for the deep dives into physiology and if you want to level-up your ICU patient care, this is the episode for you! Listen, leave us some feedback and drop us a review!

    On this week's episode of Critical Care Time, Dr. David Dulaney rounds out GI bleeds in the ICU by taking on cirrhosis & variceal bleeds! During this show we discuss the unique challenge associated with managing a patient with cirrhosis - specifically focusing on the coagulopathy of advanced liver disease.
