For a patient with septic shock having a central line, at what dose of levophed would you consider adding vasopressin if the MAP goal of 65 is not maintained? Would you add if levophed is at 15 mcg/min or wait until it max out at 30 mcg/min?

Canadian IMG, did school in Europe. PGY3 applying for Critical Care training in USA. My question is, can I work in Canada as an Intensivist after completing fellowship in USA, or will I have to do extra training? Wondering if it is worth doing CC fellowship here if I can't even do CC in Canada...

Exactly what a head of this post ask. I somehow have a hard time imagining how you can do all of those at once.

Critical Care. I had a question (sort of a multi-part question) in regards to critical care that I wasn’t really able to find a clear cut answer on. I’m aware there are various specialties of medicine, i.e General Surgery, IM, Anesthesiology, and I’m sure a few others, that are able to obtain...
