Acute Conversations is the official podcast of APTA Acute Care — where bedside practice meets big-picture perspective. Hosted by Dr. Leo Arguelles, Dr. Daniel Young, and Dr. Nicole Neveau, the show brings you stories and insights from the frontlines of hospital-based physical therapy.

Danny brings the researcher’s eye — a pioneer in ICU mobility and a national voice on acute care evidence. Nicole brings the clinician’s heart — a neurologic specialist and mentor who helps therapists stay grounded in their “why.” Alongside Leo’s educator’s lens, they explore what it means to practice at the top of your license, deliver patient-centered care in high-stakes settings, and shape the future of acute care PT.

We share engaging conversations about acute care physical therapy so you can connect to your profession. From ICU breakthroughs to mentorship pearls, every episode blends scholarly depth with bedside relevance — helping you stay informed and inspired, ready to bring fresh insights back to your patients and teams.

Guest Quotes:
Jenna 5:32 On postpartum hemorrhagic event: “What I want everyone to really think about or sort of like get, wrap our minds around is that it happens a lot…And so why would we give our services to individuals that have had other hemorrhagic events? But not to this population when, after they've had a hemorrhagic event, too.”
Rebeca 9:09 “80 percent of these cases being preventable, you have to now go back to my hospital, which actually tracked infant drop rate and maternal fall rate. Those are preventable as well. Those are preventable conditions or injuries that have happened as a result of maybe that blood volume being too low of maybe that person having a raging infection that no one was able to actually evaluate properly because they weren't being Provided an evaluation of their task analysis and the environment that they were expected to return to only rehab therapist can really do that part.”
Rebeca 26:17 “I think that was kind of the biggest thing that we focused on in the paper. was enabling therapists with a tool that could really either address their own implicit biases, but then having them use outcome measures that they would use in any other case with any other patient population so that they were actually basing their decisions on evidence and not their own gut feeling.”
Erin 33:20 “So I was like, well, how could I do acute care stuff from where I am now for pregnancy and postpartum?
And I'm like, well, everybody's here in the hospital having babies. Why can't I go see them there? And that's really when I started to work on. Trying to get in to those units to see those patients, though. I would say I use pelvic therapy knowledge in acute care for all my populations, like I'm forever talking to people about their peeing and pooping habits in the hospital because they get all jacked up in acute care…”
