We’re rapidly learning that COVID-19 doesn’t behave like typical ARDS or viral pneumonia.

Dr. Scott Weingart is an ER/Critical Care doc in New York and the host of the EMCrit podcast. He shares his insights into the changing management of coronavirus critical illness.

We discuss which patients need ventilators and which do better without, the insane amount of COVID quackery found on social media, issues around aggressiveness of care and end-of-life, clotting and COVID, acid-base physiology in these patients, and much more.

Check out ALL our COVID-19 coverage here.
