About this episode

Welcome to the origin story of PULMCRIT! 

 

In this episode, we cover how best to practically monitor the balance between oxygenation, oxygen delivery and oxygen consumption. Controversial to say the least.

Come take a listen, and learn about the pulsatility index, a space we should all be watching for in the future.
