Dr. Wes Ely, the author of Every Deep Drawn Breath, describes his mission to prevent ICU patients from being harmed by the technology that keeps them alive. This is a powerful episode on how RTs, RNs, and MDs can do better by "aiming for the human heart...as we rebuild humanism in the ICU" and the A2F bundle as a toolbox to do just that.
