Chest Physicians Critical Care Board Review On Demand 2025

Chest Physicians Critical Care Board Review On Demand 2025

+ Include:  videos + audios + pdfs, size:  GB

+ Target Audience: intensivists, pulmonary/critical care physicians, hospitalists with ICU responsibilities, anesthesiologists and emergency physicians practicing critical care

+ Information:

An exam-focused, case-driven review covering the core domains of adult critical care medicine. Lectures emphasize guideline-aligned management, diagnostic reasoning, and high-yield pearls to strengthen both board performance and daily ICU practice.

What You Will Learn

• Rapid approaches to undifferentiated shock, respiratory failure, and the crashing patient

• Evidence-based management of sepsis, ARDS, AKI, and multi-organ dysfunction

• Mechanical ventilation: modes, waveforms, liberation strategies, and troubleshooting

• Hemodynamics: pressors/inotropes, fluids, ultrasound-guided assessment, and monitoring

• Neurocritical care basics: coma, status epilepticus, stroke/ICH, brain death essentials

• Cardiovascular ICU: ACS, arrhythmias, heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, ECMO concepts

• Infectious diseases in the ICU: empiric therapy, de-escalation, source control, stewardship

• Procedural/airway updates: RSI, difficult airway algorithms, line/pleural procedures, prophylaxis bundles

• Ethics & communication: goals-of-care, prognostication, and end-of-life discussions

• Board strategy: pattern recognition, test-taking tactics, and elimination methods

Event Details

• Format: On-demand, modular video review with board-style Q&A and concise summaries

• Access: Self-paced learning designed to fit clinical schedules

• Structure: Thematic blocks (respiratory, hemodynamics, sepsis/ID, renal/metabolic, neuro, cardiovascular, procedures, ethics)

Who Should Attend
Intensivists, pulmonary/critical care physicians, hospitalists with ICU responsibilities, anesthesiologists and emergency physicians practicing critical care, advanced practice providers, pharmacists, and fellows preparing for certification or seeking a structured refresher.

Why Attend

• Consolidate essential ICU knowledge into clear, usable algorithms

• Reinforce guideline-based care while sharpening board-relevant reasoning

• Translate high-yield insights directly to bedside decisions and team workflows

+ Topics:

• Shock & hemodynamics: septic, cardiogenic, obstructive, and hemorrhagic shock; ultrasound-guided fluid assessment

• Renal & metabolic: AKI, RRT indications, acid-base and electrolyte emergencies

• ID & inflammation: sepsis bundles, pneumonia/VAP, intra-abdominal infection, CNS infection, opportunistic disease

• Cardiovascular ICU: ACS, arrhythmias, heart failure, tamponade, PE and RV failure

• Neurocritical care: status epilepticus, stroke/ICH, sedation/analgesia/delirium

• GI/hepatic & nutrition: GI bleed, pancreatitis, acute liver failure, feeding strategies

• Heme/onc & tox: transfusion, DIC, HIT, oncologic emergencies, common toxicologic crises

• Procedures & safety: airway, lines, pleural procedures, ultrasound basics, prevention bundles

• Ethics, communication, and systems: triage, end-of-life care, quality and safety in the ICU
