In this tiny episode we do something a little different. Dr. Paul Young (@dogICUma) and colleagues published two papers in JAMA and NEJM, SPLIT and HEAT, respectively. SPLIT is an RCT looking at balanced crystalloid vs 0.9% NaCl and AKI, an ever popular topic in FOAM. HEAT is an RCT of acetaminophen in ICU patients.

In this episode, we cover the New York Times article, "What Comes After The Heimlich Maneuver" and Dr. Seth Trueger's take on this article, "Bad Idea Jeans."

Then, we cover core content pearls on tracheostomy emergencies and a quick summary of infections in or near the trachea.
