Here is another fantastic ICU 2.0 resource. You can subscribe to these podcasts in iTunes or listen to them directly on the website. Dr. Jeffrey S. Guy has taken topics he discussed on teaching rounds in the Burn ICU at Vanderbilt and brought them to you as onDemand solutions! It is these sort of resources that are inspirational for me and truly on the forefront of teaching in the 21st century. Well Done Dr. Guy! I hope you enjoy and become a subscriber (as I did).

Hello everyone. Welcome to the debut of Critical Care Minutes. This blog is to be an educational and entertaining journey through the life in the ICU. I started my fellowship one week ago and already I have learned so much. Unfortunately, much of my days are currently spent studying for the Anesthesiology Part 1 exam. Arghhhh! I wish it was over already. July 14th I will be FREE!!!! After that I can put in the time and effort needed to get this blog up and rolling.

The purpose of this blog is to be a key resource for the residents, students and public out there whether in the medical field or just interested in learning more about how a life of an Intensive Care Physician really is? This blog will be a resource for students and residents and will contain several landmark articles, teaching videos for procedures as well as templates for writing notes / orders. I will review some of the common issues encountered in the ICU and plan on presenting an approach to solving those problems. “The Minutes” (as I like to nickname this blog) will also address some of the more “human” issues related to taking care of critically ill patients such as family, support, religion, faith, death and dying.

And of course we will get to ICU 2.0! The future is now and we must recognize it. So many advances have occurred in the science of medicine but for some reason the physicians are always the last to jump on the technological advances that are made all around us. My goal is to identify some of the most exciting technological advances that will take the management of patients in the ICU to the next level such as telemedicine and eICUs. ICU 2.0 will also be the location for the procedural teaching videos, ICU podcasts. eCritical Care is here to stay!

I hope you enjoy this blog and are educated as well as entertained. Stay tuned for the first installment of Critical Care Minutes!
