A chat with Tom (Duracell Bunny)](https://www.criticalcarepractitioner.co.uk/arterial-lines-do-we-always-need-them-a-chat-with-tom-duracell-bunny/) _2026-04-09 · Critical Care Practitioner_ Tom, one of my colleagues from the Critical Care Outreach Team and I discuss this paper and its findings reaching our own conclusions. Deferring Arterial Catheterisation in Patients with Septic Shock. The post Arterial Lines: Do we always need them. A chat with Tom (Duracell Bunny) appeared first on Critical Care Practitioner .

In decompensated cirrhosis, every treatment targets a disrupted system — splanchnic vasodilation, portal hypertension, toxin accumulation, and renal hypoperfusion.Although these patients look fluid overloaded, they are effectively hypovolaemic. Start with small aliquots of balanced crystalloid, avoiding 0.9%… [Listen](https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/traffic.libsyn.com/criticalcarepractitioner/Decompensated_Alcohol_Related_Liver_Disease_Part_2.mp3) ## [Decompensated Alcohol Related Liver Disease](https://www.criticalcarepractitioner.co.uk/decompensated-alcohol-related-liver-disease/) _2026-01-08 · Critical Care Practitioner_ In this episode, I walk through the real-world critical care management of acute decompensated alcohol-related liver disease, using a high-risk ICU case to anchor the discussion. The focus is on understanding the underlying physiology—portal hypertension, rebalanced haemostasis, hepatic encephalopathy, infection, and hepatorenal syndrome—and translating that physiology into clear first-hour… [Listen](https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/traffic.libsyn.com/criticalcarepractitioner/Acute_Liver_Failure.mp3) ## [Non Invasive Ventilation](https://www.criticalcarepractitioner.co.uk/non-invasive-ventilation/) _2025-11-13 · Critical Care Practitioner_ This episode offers a structured, bedside-focused exploration of Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) for acute hypercapnic respiratory failure in COPD, aligned with NICE NG115 and BTS/ICS 2016 guidance. Aimed at early-career critical care nurses, it breaks the topic down into physiology, practical setup, monitoring, and escalation.Key Topics CoveredMechanisms behind acute-on-chronic hypercapnic… [Listen](https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/traffic.libsyn.com/criticalcarepractitioner/NIV.mp3) ## [HHS (Hyperosmolar Hyperglycaemic State)](https://www.criticalcarepractitioner.co.uk/hhs-hyperosmolar-hyperglycaemic-state/) _2025-10-31 · Critical Care Practitioner_ HHS (Hyperosmolar Hyperglycaemic State) is the quiet counterpart to DKA. It develops slowly in older type 2 diabetics with residual insulin, leading to extreme hyperglycaemia and dehydration without ketosis. In this 2-hour deep dive, Jonathan explains why HHS kills through water loss and hyperviscosity rather than acid, and how to manage it safely.Key Learning Points:· Pathophysiology: Relative… [Listen](https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/traffic.libsyn.com/criticalcarepractitioner/HHS.mp3) ## [DKA- Fluids, Potassium and Insulin](https://www.criticalcarepractitioner.co.uk/dka-fluids-potassium-and-insulin/) _2025-10-24 · Critical Care Practitioner_ The post DKA- Fluids, Potassium and Insulin appeared first on Critical Care Practitioner .

Based on a 2024 narrative review in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, we explore why phosphate matters, how it goes missing in critically ill patients, and why you should care even when it’s just “a little low.”What’s Covered:The vital role of phosphate in energy, \[…\] The post Hypophosphatemia in Critical Care… [Listen](https://traffic.libsyn.com/criticalcarepractitioner/Hypophosphatemia_in_Critical_Illness__ICU_Implications.mp3) ## [DKA in Critical Care](https://www.criticalcarepractitioner.co.uk/dka-in-critical-care/) _2025-10-01 · Critical Care Practitioner_ The post DKA in Critical Care appeared first on Critical Care Practitioner .
