#Epi 132 - TRICYCLE Trial: Early Triple Vasopressor Therapy in Septic Shock with Prof Giovanni Landoni & Dr Žiga Kalamar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Norepinephrine first, titrate up, add vasopressin when the dose gets high, reach for a third agent when things get desperate. That stepwise approach is how most of us treat septic shock. What if all three went in together, early? In this episode of the eCritCare Podcast, Dr Swapnil Pawar is joined by Professor Giovanni Landoni (San Raffaele Hospital, Milan) and Dr Žiga Kalamar (Medical ICU, University Medical Centre Maribor, Slovenia) to discuss the TRICYCLE trial, published in Critical Care in
#Epi 131 - T4P Trial: Platelet Transfusion Thresholds Before ICU Procedures with Prof Peter Watkinson & Prof Simon Stanworth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A platelet count of 40 and a central line to put in. Transfuse first, or go ahead? Right now the answer depends on which ICU you work in, and nobody actually knows which is right. In this episode of the eCritCare Podcast, Dr Swapnil Pawar is joined by Professor Peter Watkinson (Professor of Intensive Care Medicine, University of Oxford, and Chief Investigator) and Professor Simon Stanworth (Professor of Haematology and Transfusion Medicine, University of Oxford) to discuss the T4P trial, Thresho
Beyond the P Value Series #Ep 1 - Why RCTs Matter and Why They Mislead Us with Prof Paul Young (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Randomised controlled trials shape almost everything we do in the ICU. So why do so many of them seem to show nothing? And when a trial says "no benefit," what does that actually mean for the patient in front of you? This is the first episode of Beyond the P Value, a new eCritCare sub-series on interpreting RCTs in critical care with Professor Paul Young, intensivist and clinician researcher from New Zealand. Over the coming episodes, Dr Swapnil Pawar and Professor Young go past the abstract and
#Epi 129 - CLIP-II Trial: Cryopreserved vs Liquid-Stored Platelets with Prof Michael Reade (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Conventional platelets last five to seven days. Cryopreserved platelets last two years. So why aren't we using them everywhere? In this episode of the eCritCare Podcast, Dr Swapnil Pawar sits down with Professor Michael Reade, intensivist, researcher and chief investigator of the CLIP-II trial, published in JAMA in 2026. CLIP-II randomised 388 high-risk cardiac surgical patients across 11 Australian hospitals and compared cryopreserved platelets with standard liquid-stored platelets in the 202 w
#Epi 128 - SuDDICU & The SDD Story with Prof Ian Seppelt (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, Dr Swapnil Pawar sits down with Professor Ian Seppelt, intensivist at Nepean Hospital, Sydney, and one of the lead investigators of the SuDDICU trial, to unpack the decades-long story of Selective Digestive Decontamination (SDD) in intensive care. Ian traces SDD from its haematology origins in the 1970s, through its adoption in the Netherlands, to the extraordinary behind-the-scenes journey of SuDDICU: failed international grants, the pivot from a parallel-group to a crossover c
