    148: Differentiating Pulmonary Hypertension vs Dilated Cardiomyopathy with Natalie RN
    Oct 24 2025

    Differential diagnosis is part physiology, part detective work. Especially in heart failure, where similar vital signs can mean very different things.

    In this episode, Natalie RN is back on the show to break down two pediatric cases that looked almost identical on arrival to the ED but their workups led to two very different treatment plans. She shares the assessment findings, diagnostics, and clinical clues that helped them uncover what was really going on.

  • 147: Recognize, Decompress, Stabilize: Managing a Pneumothorax with Trauma Pete

    147: Recognize, Decompress, Stabilize: Managing a Pneumothorax with Trauma Pete
    Oct 10 2025

    Every trauma nurse knows this feeling: your stable patient suddenly starts to decompensate and instinct tells you there’s more to the story. Today’s case starts with a stable, post-arrest patient and ends in a full-blown tension pneumothorax.

    Hear why this patient went from stable to crashing in minutes, how delayed recognition changed the course of care, what diagnostics and assessments could have caught earlier. Trauma Pete breaks down the tell-tale signs, how it differs from a simple pneumothorax, and why it's so easy to miss in trauma patients.


    In this episode, you’ll learn which patients are the most at risk, how to spot tension pneumothorax early, and why having a systematic approach to decompression make all the difference!


    Topics discussed in this episode:


    • Presentation of a stable, post-arrest patient
    • The patient's rapid decline and first interventions
    • Why they misread the signs of tension pneumothorax
    • Pneumothorax in intubated vs. non-intubated patients
    • The physiology of tension simple vs. tension pneumothorax
    • Bedside clues and diagnostic signs of tension pneumothorax
    • Early intervention and treatment priorities
    • Emergent needle decompression: timing, technique, and follow-up
    • Chest tube placement and management: tips, troubleshooting, and air leaks

  • 146: From Alveoli to Aftermath: The Science and Humanity of Pediatric Drowning Care with ER Nurse Amber

    146: From Alveoli to Aftermath: The Science and Humanity of Pediatric Drowning Care with ER Nurse Amber
    Sep 26 2025

    This is one of those cases that tests you in every way as a nurse. A toddler is pulled out of a pool and rushed to the ER, unresponsive and deteriorating fast. Today, Nurse Amber walks us through the critical moments that followed and how this case inspired her to turn her grief into a positive resource for nurses.

    We discuss what was going on at the alveolar level in this patient, the interventions Amber and her team performed, and the emotional aftermath of working on critical pediatric patients. You’ll learn what to prioritize, the signs of deterioration that can show hours after rescue, and how to recognize what Sarah calls the “inflammatory cascade of awfulness.”


    This episode is an honest breakdown of both the science and humanity of drowning care. Don’t miss this story!


    Topics discussed in this episode:


    • Initial assessment of the patient
    • First treatment priorities: ventilation, airway, and warming
    • The pathophysiology of drowning
    • Misconceptions about suctioning in drowning patients
    • The nurse’s role: documentation and respiratory management
    • Patient monitoring and signs of deterioration
    • The emotional burden of pediatric fatalities
    • How the Get Vitals app supports nurses’ mental health

Sarah thank you for being such a wonderful advocate and educator. I'm an ICU nurse of a little less than 5 years and I love listening to your podcast. I'm inspired by your ability to advocate and communicate and I learn so much from your stories! Your podcast was recommended to me from a friend and I now share it with everyone I can. You make learning fun and palletable and offer a model of how to be persistent and clear without being abrasive or rude. I'm inspired by your communication skills and learn so much from this platform. Thank you again for putting it together :)

Educate and advocate. Sarah will inspire you to be the best you can for your patients.

“My gut feeling was the one that saved her. Charge nurse refused to call the hospitalist and when she finally did, the NP hospitalist placed orders without assessing the patient. The sitter did not see anyone come in the room except me every 15 min to check on the patient. At this point I was livid and finally got everyone at the bedside just in the nick of time before the patient coded. I wish I had listened to this podcast and I would have been on the phone with the night supervisor."

Had similar experience post-op hysterectomy
