New(-ish) and Unfamiliar Viruses: When Scary Viruses Appear in the ICU

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The transcript discusses two non-influenza and non-SARS viruses, hantaviruses and dengue, which are becoming increasingly common and impacted by climate change. Hantaviruses are transmitted by rodents and primarily affect the lungs, causing a high fatality rate. Dengue is spread by mosquitoes and can lead to severe illness, including organ damage and bleeding. The transcript also provides information on the diagnosis and management of these viruses, including the use of algorithms and supportive care. It highlights the lack of evidence-based treatments for both viruses, but mentions ongoing research into antibody therapy for hantaviruses and the use of a dengue vaccine in select populations. Overall, the importance of preparedness for these viruses in the ICU is emphasized.
