The Critical Care Practitioner
"Magnesium For the Win!"- with Bryan Boling.
 
Guest: Habib Srour
 
Dr. Srour is an attending in the Anesthesia Critical Care Division at the University of Kentucky where I practice. 
 
The episode is the first in a mini-series on electrolyte imbalances in the ICU. I hope to record an episode on hyponatremia soon. 
 
In the episode, we talk about a few studies that I said we'd link in the show notes:

Nicol (@nicchik90) is an RN and an author over in the US. She also has a website over at nicolekupchikconsulting.com  where she has many other great resources for others in the profession to use. She recently presented at NTI Boston 2018 and. amongst other subjects, she discussed some of the recent papers we should all be aware of which might impact on our practice in the future.   Fascinating discussion and I certainly learned something! I'm hopeful I can get her back next year.
