Social Justice, Activism & Health Disparities with Kendra Outler and Pebbles Fagan

Social Justice, Activism & Health Disparities with Kendra Outler and Pebbles Fagan

This week, I welcome two pioneers who’ve been deeply engaged in medical practice and training, research, health disparities, and community interventions for years. Dr. Kendra Outler and Dr. Pebbles Fagan join to share their experiences working in academic, government and military arenas, in urban and rural areas, and with marginalized communities. In this conversation, we consider how we treat one another in our communities and discuss the necessity of working in coalitions with a spirit of collectivism. Both guests describe the realities of navigating when resources are trimmed and when retaliation arises. They highlight the ways we can empower one another, instead of staying in a place of anger. They remind us of our need to be complimentary, knowing that there is a role for everyone to play. We also consider the role of gratitude and hope, amidst the necessity to push for progress and change. Another truly informative, thought provoking, and generative conversation

Ep. 8. The role of ultrasound for neuaxial guidance and gastric ultrasound

Ep. 8. The role of ultrasound for neuaxial guidance and gastric ultrasound

In this interview, I discuss with Dr. Perlas, the Director of the Anesthesia POCUS fellowship at the University of Toronto, the role of ultrasound for spine sonoanatomy and the future of gastric ultrasound. Dr. Perlas describes the patient population that benefits the most when using ultrasound for neuraxial analgesia and advises that we should practice this technique with patients with normal anatomy. Besides, she goes over several clinical scenarios where gastric ultrasound may benefit.

PPH – Part 2 The role of Viscoelastic hemostatic assays for PPH management

PPH – Part 2 The role of Viscoelastic hemostatic assays for PPH management

n a previous interview (PPH part 1) with Dr. Michaela Farber, we discussed the importance of fibrinogen concentrate. During this interview, Dr. Collis and Dr. Bell help us understand the importance of early recognition of hypofibrinogenemia and replacement of this important coagulation factor. Our guests have over a decade of experience using viscoelastic hemostatic assays (VHA) and implementing algorithms to help guide early recognition and prompt fibrinogen replacement.
