  • Cardiogenic Shock: The SCAI Classification with Dr. Emilie Belley-Côté.
    In this episode, recorded live at CCCF 2024, we sit down with Dr. Emilie Belley-Côté, a cardiac intensivist, researcher, and clinical trialist from McMaster University, to unpack cardiogenic shock: the SCAI classification.Whether you're in the ED, cath lab, or ICU, the SCAI (Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions) stages offer a common language to describe the severity of cardiogenic shock, guide escalation of care, and improve outcomes through structured assessment.Dr. Belley-Côté walks us through:The five SCAI stages (A through E): what they mean and how they’re used.How this classification system improves communication between specialties.The importance of recognizing patients in pre-shock (Stage B) before they deteriorate.Real-world application: how SCAI staging intersects with clinical signs, biomarkers, and hemodynamic monitoring.Where the SCAI classification fits in research, including trials evaluating mechanical circulatory support and advanced heart failure therapies.With Dr. Belley-Côté’s clear explanations and insights from the front lines of cardiac critical care, this episode is essential listening for anyone managing unstable cardiac patients.

  • Gender-Based Harassment in the Medical Workplace: Insights from Dr. Elizabeth Viglianti
    In this episode, hosts Leon Byker and Peter Brindley are joined by Dr. Elizabeth Viglianti, an assistant professor at the University of Michigan, Pulmonologist and Critical Care Specialist, to discuss the crucial issue of gender based harassment in medicine. Gender-Based Harassment refers to any unwelcome behavior, comment, or conduct that demeans, intimidates, or disadvantages someone based on their gender or gender identity. This can include derogatory remarks, exclusion, stereotyping, unequal treatment, or threats, whether or not the behavior is sexual in nature. In the workplace, it undermines professional dignity and contributes to a hostile or inequitable environment.Dr. Viglianti shares her personal experience that led her to study this field, detailing the prevalence and impact of such harassment. The discussion covers key findings from the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine's framework on addressing sexual and gender based harassment, gender disparities, organizational factors contributing to harassment, and her research on the topic. Practical steps and recommendations for institutions to mitigate harassment are also explored.00:00 Introduction and Welcome01:08 Personal Experience with Sexual Harassment03:06 Understanding Gender Based Harassment in Medicine05:34 Organizational Factors and Solutions07:50 Gender Disparities in Academic Medicine17:42 Impact on Trainees and Reporting Challenges24:46 Addressing Patient-Perpetrated Harassment28:59 Practical Strategies and Training32:26 Conclusion and Call to Action
