SCCM Pod-464 CCM: More Communication: Who Needs it? Families Do!
Clinicians aim to communicate with surrogates of ICU patients in ways that both inform them of the patient’s medical condition and support their emotional needs. Written communication, as a supplement to traditional verbal communication, may overcome some of the challenges that clinicians face when engaging with families in the ICU. Diane C. McLaughlin, DNP, AGACNP-BC, CCRN, FCCM, is joined by Jared Greenberg, MD, MSc, to discuss the article "Daily Written Care Summaries for Families of Critically Ill Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial," published in the September 2022 issue of Critical Care Medicine.

SCCM Pod-466: Hyperammonemia, the Silent Killer
Untreated hyperammonemia can cause irreversible neurologic damage, coma, or death. A high level of clinical suspicion is necessary to quickly recognize and implement emergency interventions for hyperammonemia in the acute presentation of urea cycle disorders (UCDs). Pamela M. Peeke, MD, MPH, FACP, FACSM, is joined by Anna-Kaisa Niemi, MD, PhD, and a patient who was hospitalized for hyperammonemia at age 8 years to discuss the importance of improved recognition of hyperammonemia and awareness of the underlying causes, such as UCDs.

Reflecting on a crisis
Previous Doctor Informed episodes have discussed how to prevent patient safety issues from occurring, but sometimes situations are beyond anyone's control - like COVID.
It can be hard to look back, especially if difficult decisions and compromises were made, including ones we did not completely agree with, or if there could be criticism of the way we responded. We ask how individual doctors, teams, and organisations could respond to and recover from major problems?
In this episode, we're joined by Annelieke Driessen, a THIS Institute fellow and medical anthropologist. She is a research fellow at the University of Oxford ...
