Your pneumonia patient is hypotensive, tachycardic, and not responding to fluids… what did you miss? It could be sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy, a common under-recognized shock state you could see at the bedside.In this episode, Dr. Mahmoud Ibrahim MD and host Sarah Lorenzini use a case study to highlight how nurses, intensivists and the ICU team can work together to recognize the signs of sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy early and give patients a better chance at recovery. You'll learn the diagnostic clues that your patient’s heart is in trouble, how to approach controversial treatments like sodium bicarb, and what has to happen before intubation in a dual shock state.Topics discussed in this episode:What the initial bedside assessment says about the patientTreatment priorities for the  intensivist and nurseSigns that point to more than just sepsisWhy fluids aren’t always the answerBlood pressure management: vasopressors and inotropesPathophysiology of sepsis-induced cardiomyopathyHow a sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy diagnosis changes treatmentThe vasopressin debate for sepsis-induced cardiomyopathyClues your intervention isn’t working and what to do nextHow to prepare the patient for high-risk intubationWhat you need to know about administering sodium bicarbWhy collaboration matters at every step for patient recoveryConnect with Dr. Ibrahim:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/icuboy_meded/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1Dg1ZTyfsN/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@icuboy_mededThreads: https://www.threads.com/@icuboy_mededX: https://x.com/icuboy_mededLearn more about the different phenotypes in sepsis induced cardiomyopathy:https://journal.chestnet.org/article/S0012-3692(25)05143-8/abstractMentioned in this episode:CONNECT
