Intensive Care Network Podcasts

John Myburgh takes us through 200 years of fluids therapy in critical care in one powerful presentation. He discusses the essential moments from history that changed the way we practice today and puts this long an bizarre story into context. He covers the key aspects of relevant physiology and, inspired by Kipling, the what, where, when, how, why and whom of this intervention that has become synonymous with critical care. He tackles starch controversies with his unique perspective on the subject, as well as the very topical chloride debate and the upcoming SPLIT trial. Best watched with John's superb slide deck. WARNING: this may leave you questioning something you prescribe every day and feeling disturbed that something you assumed to be simple and sorted is far from it.
