Pulmcast BLOG

If you've ever found yourself staring at an ABG like it's written in ancient hieroglyphics, or wondering why critical care folks get way too excited about lactate levels, you're in the right place.

We’re all about making ICU education accessible, engaging, and—dare we say—fun? (Or at least as fun as sepsis and ventilator settings can be.) We started as a podcast, but let’s be real—sometimes you need good old-fashioned words on a screen to reference when your brain is running on two hours of sleep and five cups of coffee.

This blog is for everyone in the trenches of critical care—nurses, physicians, PAs, RTs, med students, and anyone else brave enough to step foot in the ICU. Whether you’re here to brush up on the classics (looking at you, ARDSnet) or stay ahead of the game with the latest research, we’ve got you covered.

Time to Reconsider Macrolide Monotherapy

Oct 3, 2017

In the past, advanced macrolide monotherapy (azithromycin and clarithromycin) was recommended for outpatient treatment of CAP and COPD AE with acute bronchitis. I'm starting to question if this is consistent with best practice recommendations.
