π₯ Critical Care & ICU delivers key concepts in ARDS, mechanical ventilation, sepsis, sedation, weaning, nutrition, and hemodynamic monitoring β essential for EDAIC Part I and advanced ICU management.
π What Youβll Learn
This module offers a comprehensive, high-yield review of essential intensive care concepts β bridging pathophysiology with hands-on management. It prepares you to tackle critically ill patients with confidence, both in exams and real-life ICU settings. Topics include:
π«οΈ ARDS Management β Berlin criteria, low tidal volume ventilation, PEEP titration, prone positioning
π¨ Mechanical Ventilation Strategies β Volume vs pressure modes, driving pressure, lung-protective ventilation
π« Weaning & Tracheostomy β Timing, criteria, spontaneous breathing trials, post-extubation care
𧬠Sepsis & Septic Shock β Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines, vasopressors, source control
βοΈ Advanced Hemodynamic Monitoring β CVP, ScvOβ, lactate clearance, dynamic indices (PPV/SVV), echocardiography
π Sedation, Analgesia & Delirium β Daily sedation interruption, RASS, CAM-ICU, dexmedetomidine use
