Cardiac Critical Care: The Evolution of a Novel Subspecialty
Methodist Debakey Cardiovasc J. 2022 Jun 3;18(3):24-29. doi: 10.14797/mdcvj.1092. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTDriven by evolving patient demographics and disease burdens over the past several decades, the demands placed on the cardiac intensive care unit have steadily increased. Originally born out of the need for post-infarction arrhythmia monitoring, the modern cardiac intensive care space is now encountering progressively more complex patients with multisystem organ failure and, increasingly, complex mechanical circulatory support. This complexity has fueled a demand for specifically trained cardiac intensivists, and many ...

Appropriate Use of Transthoracic Echocardiography in the General Intensive Care Unit: Experience at Te Toka Tumai Auckland
Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is a key non-invasive imaging modality for the diagnosis of acute and chronic cardiac conditions. However, availability is increasingly becoming limited by chronic shortages of trained cardiac sonographers, so appropriate use of TTE is critical. Requests in the Department of Critical Care Medicine (DCCM), where scans are usually performed within 12 hours, were evaluated to assess current practice with the aim of effectively utilising TTE.

Leveraging Opportunities for Critical Care in Resource-Limited Settings
Critical or intensive care is, in its simplest rendition, the provision of medical care for the severely ill patient. In its more advanced forms, critical care can provide needed support to temporarily do the work of almost any vital end organ, such as dialysis to mimic the actions of the native renal system, or ventilation and oxygenation to mimic the native actions of the respiratory system. In advanced health systems, a critical care unit is often relied on to provide escalated care for patients at risk of imminent death in order to prevent an untimely demise.

Still, trying to get rid of these “ Seven sins in medicine ” !
Dr.Richard Asher,  a British physician from Sussex addressed a group of young passing out medical students way back in 1948 in London. The lecture was titled seven sins of medicine! We should thank the Lancet for having published this brief speech the subsequent year in its journal making it immortal medical teaching! Though he was listing these sins among medical students, it is very relevant to every health professional. 1. Obscurity Asher endorses the use of clear communication and plain language whether writing or speaking. Obscurity may be used to cloak one’s own ignorance, or due to an inability to communi...
