Respiratory Topics for ICM
If one only has the time for a single system within the intensive care section, a bet on 'A' & 'B' seems sensible.
7 of the 13 intensive care CRQ/SAQ questions since 2017 have been on topics from the list below, with VAP (twice) and ARDS-associated topics (thrice) overly-represented.
Relevant topics from elsewhere in the curriculum can be found in the Perioperative Medicine Respiratory section and the Thoracics Conditions section.
- Airways in critical care
- Tracheostomies
- Extubation
- Physiology of prone ventilation
- ARDS
- Airway pressure release ventilation
