About this episode

Show Notes: https://eddyjoemd.com/methylene-blue-septic-shock/ Link to Lactic Acid Post: https://eddyjoemd.com/lactic-acid-sepsis/

In this episode, we discuss the use of methylene blue as a potential treatment for septic shock. We explore the science behind how methylene blue can help improve circulation and reduce inflammation in patients experiencing septic shock, and share a new study that was recently published in Critical Care. We break down the study and address common concerns and misconceptions about the use of methylene blue in this context, and discuss how we need additional research regarding its effectiveness and safety. If you're interested in learning more about cutting-edge treatments for sepsis and other critical illnesses, this episode is not to be missed.
