Two critical care clinicians break down intensive care trials, both old and new, in a conversational format. They also dive deep into specific topics important to practicing intensive care medicine and feature special guests sharing their expertise. The podcast is educational and clearly states that its content is not medical advice and should not be used to diagnose or treat any condition. The hosts note that opinions expressed are their own and not those of their employers.
