  1. Excellent podcast! Enjoy listening on my long drives to school. Keep up the good work!

  2. Awesome talk guys. I work in the local SICU taking care of open heart patient (nurse) and this talk has helped tremendously. Thanks. Can’t wait for part 2.

  3. Great podcast! As an anesthesiologist working outside the cardiac surgery, ti was so useful to listen and remind!

  4. This episode was great preparation for a cards case I’m watching tomorrow on an away rotation. Thanks for posting!!

  5. I listened to this podcast before my first cardiac case. It was so helpful. Best part was the discussion was heparin, protamine, and antithrombin 3. This happened in my case, we gave heparin and the ACT was going down. Then we gave thrombate and the ACT went up to 500. It was awesome to know exactly what was going on from the podcast ahead of time, then awesome to see it happen in real life. That wasn’t in any text books I read.
